Some ways that I save are.....

Now if that title DOESN'T make any sense, then you will most likely want to keep on reading! I love to get the B-E-S-T deals on anything and EVERYTHING!!! Here are some of the ways that I have learned to save some money. I just want to clarify, I may be only 12, but I have learned from the best momma in the whole wide world!

The first topic is...... CLOTHES!!!

The 2 skirts that I purchased for fifty-five cents! The floral one is a bit bigger, so I wear it with a pin in the side :)

So many of you bloggers face the 'well I can NEVER find modest clothing, that aren't very expensive!' I am here to tell you your local thrift store can offer awesome deals! When we were living in GA, if we needed some type of clothing, on a Thursday we would go into the thrift store, and we would get military discount, and if we got any of the color tags, EXTRA discount!! One of ours recently had twenty-five cent clothing day! Yes, all of the clothing was twnety-five cents! I purchased 2 skirts for a total of .55 cents! You can always get skirts that are a couple sizes to big, you can alter them to your size!

The second topic..... BOOKS!!!

Who doesn't enjoy curling up with a wonderful book and reading a whole book in a day? I know that I do! One of the local libraries puts on a yearly book fait to get rid of some books! I have a book shelf full of books, I have probably spent no more the $50 to $100 on them ALL! Isn't that amazing ( I will have to post a picture of my book shelf, so that way you can see that I have TONS of books, I mean they are stacked on top of books that are stacked :) We went to one on Saturday and I got a total of 13 books for a final price of $7.50!!! Here are the books that I got! Also I wanted to point out that all of the hardbacks were a dollar and the paperbacks were 50 cents.

To be a princess by Hugh Brewster

The complete guide to digital photography by Micheal Freeman

The reptile room by Lemony Snicket

Letters from Rifka by Karen Hesse ( I read this one for school, so it is always nice to have them for when the girls get to read them! plus it is a REALLY good book!)

My third topic it.... How to find craft items for really good prices!

Micheals is really good about having a weekly flyer that lists all of their sale items for the week. We got $1 cotton yarn (which is normally about $2 a ball! AWESOME DEAL!!), 5 art pads for $10 (we also had a discount coupon from the flyer ;)
