Minimalist Thrifting Secrets

I used to love to shop thrift stores and garage sales. However, I realized that I was often impulsive at these places and had a hard time passing up a good deal (even if I didn’t need the item). However, we need a few things for the kids and for our house, so we’re going to head out today and I’ll share my top tips for not over buying when I go.

  1. Thank you so much for watching! You can find the Minimalism by the Numbers Printable Worksheets here: https://cli.re/Minimalism-Inventory (the printable includes 29 full color pages with 16 inventory pages with room for you to record your own numbers, too!) I hope you have a great day! – Dawn

  2. Your approach towards the kids and helping them navigate the money spending/saving/decision making is inspiring. I hope I'll be able to apply some of it in my approach as well. Thanks for your content ❤

  3. I have a suggestion to save buying a new butter dish…… if you put what is left in the dish onto the lid, wash the dish, dry it and then return the butter to the dish before you wash the lid it will save buying a new dish and only take a couple of minutes. ????????

  4. Also, I was shopping yesterday in a shop here in the UK that sells accessories as I needed a pair of plain silver stud earrings. I saw a lovely tiny pair of sterling silver ones shaped like little planets. They were £30. I loved them, but I thought it was waaaaay to expensive compared to all the others. I was shocked! I left them in the store and when I went back to the car I googled them only to find the same store had an online sale and they were 60% off so I got them for £12.99! I was so happy ☺️ it pays to shop around.

  5. The buying day is such a great idea. On sites like amazon I have my wish list or leave stuff in my basket for a week before I check out and sometimes I just move it to the save for later because it give me time for the impulse to pass and I decide I don't really need it.

  6. My advice is to get one like u already have. U like it’s function better and otherwise u might not use or at least not want to use the other one because this one functions better and will turn into a favorite. We always want to use the favorite. Find a pretty one in the same style as ur current one and have the best of both worlds. Buy the quality ur looking for since u know what u want.

  7. This is wonderful advice, even for adults!! I think, henceforth I will have two buying days a month!! Thank you very much for all your lovely work❤

  8. Even in the thrift store……in the words of The French Chic expert……if its not a definate yes …its a 'non'.
    Yiu are teaching your children a good life lesson in giving them the money and getting them to decide. Whilst my sons peers got the game console for Christmas, we gave our son money for Christmas and Birthday and then it was decision to take his own money and decide himself. As a result hes goid with money now.
    I put a portion of butter on the plate and microwave for seconds……rather than pay more for spreadable butter x

  9. Dawn, Corbin is such a lovely lad, so thoughtful and helpful. I watch your channel and look forward to your videos. I just wanted say how lovely your family is. Love the flower butter dish.

  10. Get the one you have, you like it already and it suits your style! Thanks for the great video

  11. Can you find/ Tom make a lid for that upside down lidless thrift butter dish? If u think it's pretty and would have bought it if it had a lid

  12. Do you have a butter compartment in your fridge? You can set it to not as cold and it can actually be warmer than a cold morning room.

  13. I also have the Walmart butter dish and it’d be hard to beat it, I love it!

  14. I have the white dish with the wood too and that is the only one I’ll ever buy!! BTW, your boys are very sweet. Good job mama!
