Awesome Video!!!! You have conqueor complusive shopping!!!! You have realized that you can have "new " items for your family without breaking your budget!!! You & your family "deserve" things of "good quality" that would last a long time!!!! Great Acheivement!!!! Bravo!!!!
Such a good video! I’ve always enjoyed thrifting but I relate with what you said about “not having a lot to show for it”. I no longer own most of the stuff I thrifted a few years ago. I want to get better about buying quality pieces and not focusing so much on the cheap price tag
I agree with the thought process behind this... Especially the idea of quality over quantity, and have had to learn to give myself permission to appreciate and buy items that are good quality, rather than go cheap to save a few bucks. That being said, I think the underlying assumption is that if it's at the thrift store, it's not good quality. I've been able to make many great finds at the thrift store, and what really helps is just being informed on what is good quality vs made cheap. When it comes to clothes, shoes, toys etc, I've had to learn (still learning) what is good quality and therefore will be worth more for my money. Like you said though, it takes being intentional about spending, and sometimes means waiting a little longer to find the item that is just right. Totally in the same boat when it comes to baby though. I used to feel guilty about not keeping certain items donated to me (even if I didn't like them) because I wanted to be practical and save money. So blessed to have a little more finacial wiggle room to get some things new that I really liked for baby number 3. 😏 Also stopped feeling guilty about passing on things I don't want. Lol
Totally agree Kelsey! It's about quality and intentionality. Congrats on baby #3😄
Nice Video Jyl, I just discovered you on youtube. Congrats on the new baby! I agree with you about getting new things that you love and will last.
We can are totally on the same page here. I'd rather have one great quality, tried and true, wear everywhere coat than 4 from the thrift store that are "meh". Even if the new one costs more. If it gets worn every day and I love it, it's worth it. I have so much more peace about less in my closet, too.♥️🇨🇦
Totally agree!
I absolutely agree. Well done.
That’s why I just shop for exactly what I am looking for at that moment on Facebook marketplace
Yes, it helps a lot to be intentional and then that cuts out the spontaneous buys.
I just realized I put $1,000 into clothes thrifted and antique stores , I agree with everything you just said. I have nothing to show for this. And no wardrobe, uggh!
Here's to a new year with new habits 😉🎉
It's worth wearing them even if it's just around the house to see what it is that you don't like about them or why they're not working for you. It may be that you don't like the way they look on you or they don't fit right ( in which case, get rid of them ) but there might be some items that you find you do like but you just don't have the right thing to wear with them.
I agree. Conspicuous consumption is alive and well on you tube. Plastic landfill items, junk food from dollar stores, etc., seem to provide click bait for viewers and imo, are so environmentally irresponsible. Wish I had a quarter for every time someone uses the term”declutter”.
Thanks for your comment Peggy. I totally agree.
