Thrift can be fun. I have been thrifty since my teens. It’s time for America to do whatever it takes to deal with our current high prices.
Make your own food and grow it too! That is what Thrift means to me.

for me, thrift means NEVER paying full price – for anything. if it’s not on sale w/ a coupon, i probably don’t need it

To me, thrift means living well, within my means. Taking the time to plan ahead and research good deals, and to make things rather than buy them when possible.

Thrift to me simply means to live with my means. One day it might mean buying a generic product instead of a brand name, another day might mean sewing something instead of purchasing ready made, saving instead of spending frivolously.

Thrift for me means living responsibly for the 6 to 8 months a year my husband is working ,so we can continue to live responsibly during the months he is laid off with minimal financial worries.

Thrift to me means looking for ways everywhere to save money, finding great deals, cutting corners where and when you can and getting creative during hard times!

Thrift means making use with what you have. It also means smart spending. Not just cheap spending but spending on quality and researching your purchases. Thrift means self-discipline. Living to a higher standard – not succumbing to peer pressure or the temptation of the easy life. Thrift means work, sometimes hard work, towards meeting a long term vision or goal.

Thrift, for me, means getting a good deal on quality products. Not just buying the cheapest brand, but finding the expensive brand at the cheap brand price

Thrift to me means being a good steward of the things the Lord blesses us with and not wasting them.

Thrift means not just wanting instant gratification, but being willing to wait and earn the money for something. Pay cash!

thrifty is being sure you need the item, not just want it.

Thrift means living beyond our means and being smart with money. Without being thrifty, we wouldn’t be able to afford most of what we have. I’d love to have this book because I think there is always more to learn. Thanks!
