Hand Me Downs

       Somehow out of boredom this morning I opened a page on line about buying new vs. second hand and hand me downs. First people before I forget why not start a neighborhood club where stay at home parents meet to exchange clothes that no longer fit? It can also be to meet for other helping things, like needing an emergency sitter, cooking a couple of dinner and yes I know that babysitting stuff is so hard with all of the loose nuts aka pedophiles walking around in saints clothing.
        For the second time in a few years I went to a local salvation Army store to look for craft ideas and noticed many young women buying armfuls of clothes.
Kids grow, your wallet doesn't. Spend less and keep your money where it's needed more ? Shop thrift store, friends, family and neighbors. Of course there may be one drawback. Some snotty kid might say-hey that used to be mine and tease...so you can add designs, patches etc. to disguise a bit :) Happy saving.
     Last thought-save your sanity while keeping your money closer, Stay home this Friday.
