Wdym you're up over a dollar a gallon? Where do you live that it is just over a dollar?! Or am I misunderstanding??? Moving there asap. Mine is $4.60. edit: I did indeed misunderstand. Idk what it was before but I think it's more than $1 a difference.

Love your brainwashing. Haha. Learning how to cook food better than or as good as favorite restaurant dishes has been fun. Good one to teach when they are young.

I have finally conditioned myself to check Facebook marketplace first for just about everything we need to buy. Recent purchases for me are costume pieces for my kids showchoir performances, fabric for crafts, bike parts, gently used and highly desired electronics and sports equipment. The majority of the furniture in my house is high end and handmade but was bought for a small fraction of what it would have cost to buy something new but cheaply made. And the more you are on there the better your algorithm gets at directing items to you that you are likely to be interested in (which can get a little dangerous đ ).

Value world in Westland arranges clothes by color which is amazing when looking for something specific!

Went to HS in Rochester MI and my folks still live there - my mom scores some BRAND NEW nice stuff by being on the local FB free give away page. Some of the the more affluent areas around Detroit seem to be always moving and eager to give stuff away! Also the Rochester Salvation Army is đ

Yes to thrifting, eating at home and teaching cooking/ baking skills (mostly free activity), generic almost everything, outdoor play, local free events

No brainwashing needed to make thrifting cool. At least not here in Oregon. Thrifting is the RAGE amongst high schoolers of all demographics and if youâre not thrifting youâre kinda boring. Because of my husbandâs profession we are actually far more wealthy than he or I grew up, even with this insane inflation. We havenât changed our lifestyle really except that weâve built substantial investment funds for our kids and we travel a bit more than we did as kids and we do love to give generously to people and charitable organizations. We make most of our food at home and from scratch, shop the sales, grocery shop local farmers markets and Winco/Cub foods which is employee owned and the best prices around. We donât purchase cars newer than 5 years old, drive them into the ground, donât give piles of Christmas gifts in our household or extended family (draw names and everyone gets and gives one gift) , garden to supplement mental health and grocery budget, wear our clothes for years and years, make freezer meals. I cut my sons and husbandâs hair at home and my daughter and I get one to two haircuts a year. Donât do big extravagant birthday parties, etc. Donât use expensive or excessive amounts of hygiene/beauty products. Make coffee and matcha drinks at home. Itâs just the way weâve always done life and we honestly are kind of jaded because eating out and premade foods never taste as good as homemade with love. Sometimes weâre strapped for time and go for convenience and we always are like âI like how we make this at home better.â My kids cook meals for the family now that theyâre teenagers too (THE BEST)! These arenât just cost saving measures, theyâre important life and relationship skills!

Girl I feel you. I am like often driving around on a mostly empty tank looking for the one station that is still like 4.39 or whatever was the lowest that day. We are a blended family and drive long distances to keep the kids in the same school and itâs rough out here.

Thrifting clothes and household items, cooking and baking food at home together, focus on caring for our things rather than just replacing, emphasizing quality along with style, exposing them to people and situations where others have less, using the library for books and more, potlucks, driving my paid-off car.

I pay for a membership to our local childrenâs museum. Itâs less than $200 and we get in free for a year so you canât beat that! I live close to my cityâs downtown business district so in the summer and fall we walk to free concerts and events. I have a Walmart+ membership so I do the majority of my grocery shopping online for pickup which keeps me from buying things I see in the store. It also saves me 10 cents a gallon on gas at their fuel stations. Through that membership I can also get discounted streaming subscriptions which we use daily, as well as free photo prints every month for school projects, gifts, etc. I have a friend who is amazing at couponing and has been very generous. Iâm hoping she will teach me her ways so I can save even more on the things we use frequently.

Love thrifting! My kids love it too because they typically get to pick out a toy haha. Volunteers of America has half off the last Tuesday of every month. At least the one in Westland does.
