Consignment Shop Haul: Back to Homeschool, Clothing Edition

CONSIGNMENT SHOP HAUL- BACK TO HOMESCHOOL, CLOTHING EDITION

Hello Momma Friends!  

As you’re thinking of back to school (homeschool or public) clothing shopping, don’t forget to check the local consignment shops and thrift stores. You can find lots of great deals and avoid the big crowds!

 For example, I bought 3 pairs of jeans for my fashionable {sometimes picky} teenager, for a total of $6 (maybe even less, I recycled my receipt already).

The cheapest store brand jeans we usually find (that she likes) are $15 each on sale. 

$15 x 3 pairs of jeans = $45 total

 $45 (could’ve spent) – $6 (actually spent)= $39 SAVINGS

So rather than spending $45, I spent $6. That’s a savings of $39 that can be put somewhere else in our budget.  In our case we splurged on some other pieces.  Hello, have you heard of Matilda Jane?  Their clothes are so well made and modest.  When they go on sale we snatch them

Oh & guess what?  My teen LOVES her new second hand store jeans!

New. Old.  Whatever, it’s all the same once you remove the tags and run them through the wash anyway, right?

 

A friend told me once after I was feeling bad for spending $300 on a faucet (even though I love it) and cutting our budget in other areas, “it’s all about directing  your money in the right places”.

 

Folks, let there be NO SHAME in spending hundreds on something that you’ll use and love, and still shopping second hand for other things.

 

You tell your money where to go, so it isn’t telling you!  That’s a Dave Ramsey thing, right?  Another tidbit from a sweet friend of mine, Stacy, of Humorous Homemaking.  She’s smart AND funny, you should check her out!

Be Blessed Friends,
Quincey B.

Hey Friend! I am truly so glad that you’re here today!

At A Slightly Better Wife, I share about faith, homemaking, homeschooling, and marriage—along with my passion for creating a non-toxic, intentional home. Life isn’t about perfection, but I believe in making small, meaningful choices each day to do things slightly better than before.

My love for simple living and homemaking was deeply shaped by my grandparents. I have the best childhood memories of being in the kitchen with my Grandma Edna, learning the beauty of home-cooked meals and a well-tended home. My Grandpa Link’s storytelling and wisdom instilled in me the value of faith, family, and slowing down to listen during the little moments that make life rich. Their influence is woven into who I am today and I’m so grateful for that.

I’m a wife, a momma of 5, and a homemaker at heart. My husband and I met young, just days after my 18th birthday, and we quickly (like within a week) knew that forever was in our plans.

Together, we built our home on the edge of town, where we’re raising and homeschooling our children while embracing a simple, purposeful life in the city.

Here, you’ll find encouragement for your marriage, practical tips for homemaking, and inspiration to cultivate a home filled with faith and love. Whether you’re looking for a recipe, a fresh perspective, or just a place to feel understood, I hope you’ll stay awhile and explore.

Let’s pursue slightly better together!
