  • Their not poor No debt & their on their way to paying off house # 2. A twenty yr old has 11,000 cash to buy a car WOW. Xmas is about giving from the heart. My mom a single parent we shopped thrift. One Xmas I got a used stereo CONSOLE LOL but I didn't care I played my Donna Summer album & it was a great Xmas. This is a FAMILY everyone working together & spend their $ wisely & they know the value of money. Husband & Wife are a TEAM working together. shop frugal own your own home. Retail = debt

  • I am in Australia and my family's clothes come from thrift shops / garage sales or when on sale at end of season at Kmart.

    I bought all my daughter's clothing for the next year at Kmart recently when end of season clothing was at $5 a piece or less

  • Hats off to this family! My mom's been using coupons since she was a child.em. Now, she's in her 50s. Yesterday, I've gave her a small purple coupon folder with organizers to use. It was only a dollar. True story. You should have seen our jars of coins (pennies, nickels, quarters). They will literally bruise your hands and strain your arms after carrying them around with you. lol lol lol

  • My parents didn't raise me on thrift shopping but my parents have made me start buying my own clothes so i've become more money concience. Thrift shopping is how i get all my clothes and i have to say i love it

  • bravo for them for raising their kids this way! awesome family!!
