A Little Savings Goes a Long Way

DragonflytotheMoon @GypsyButterfly (295) • Ukiah, California 18 Apr 21

I like sales & to go to bargain/discount/thrift shops. Often, the quality between item A, B, C or D is the same or similar. If you're also able to save with B, it seems the obvious choice. One thing I will spend more on is, car...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169449) • United States 9 Oct 20

I overslept this morning. It then took too long to get in here, so I have very little time. I plan to go thrift shopping right after I get home this evening. That is all for my big plans, LOL. I still have to pack a lunch for...
