Coupons, Freebies, and Tips to Save Money Every Day
If you’ve followed BargainBabe for a while, you may have seen me mention my lifelong love of thrifting a time or two. Typically, a huge proportion of our clothing and household items were discovered at our favorite charity thrift stores, including my summer wardrobe. During quarantine, I went nearly four months without going thrifting, which might be a lifetime record for me. When I finally
I vividly remember a jumpsuit being one of my favorite outfits as a child. My particular ’90s style jumpsuit had a bright floral print on a black background with a loose, flowy cut and super-soft fabric. I specifically recall that I loved it because I was obsessed with gymnastics at the time and the forgiving style allowed for endless summer cartwheels on the grass in
Whether you are a seasoned, die-hard thrifter, or a newbie, there is no doubt that now is a fabulous time to hit the second hand shops in your area. Although Marie Kondo’s books have been a big splash in the US for awhile, her recent series on Netflix has brought her “joy-sparking” philosophy to a whole new audience. As a result, thrift stores are being
It’s crazy that summer hasn’t even officially begun, because down in the Carolinas we’ve been having record high temps for weeks! It has already passed 100 degrees and we’ve been in shorts and flip flops seemingly for ages. Still, this week I decided to go through my entire closet, pack away my cold weather capsule, and create my warm weather capsule. Although I don’t tend
It’s hard to believe that July is almost here! It’s been a looooong year in the Prescott home and I can’t even tell you how happy I am to embrace summer. I shared a little bit about my weight gain last summer, and I am happy to tell you that I’ve lost 25 lbs since September. That’s great news, but it does mean that my wardrobe is
Have you looked at the calendar lately? Time to face the music and get ready to party, it’s the holiday season, ready or not! It’s hard to believe the party season has crept up so quickly, especially when I look at my wardrobe. I’ve barely taken the time to fold away my shorts and t-shirts from summer and now I’m expected to dress up for holiday parties and
Here it goes: I have what may be either a shameful confession or an impressive boast. Once upon a time, I worked at Walmart. Truthfully, it wasn’t the worst job I’ve had, and I found it mostly tolerable. I went in, I worked very hard and I enjoyed talking to the customers. I always found it interesting to see what people filled their carts with and I
Real life confession: I have gained some weight. Kind of a lot of weight for my small-ish frame. I’m not happy with it. And I could go on about the whys and hows and what I should do to combat it. Maybe my next post could be about my fitness and health goals. (Don’t hold your breath). But the truth is, I don’t have time
I have simplified my life significantly and my spending habits have certainly become more deliberate over the course of the last year. But minimalist or not, I still enjoy window shopping (whether the windows are at my local Nordstrom Rack or a window on my web browser). To me, it makes sense to keep an Amazon wishlist because I can watch prices and keep track of gift ideas. Just
Week by week, carload by carload, I’m donating my way to a more simple lifestyle. It all began when I started to investigate responsible consumerism. Soon I came across the trending concept of a “capsule wardrobe.” Although definitions vary, a capsule wardrobe will be small, simple and functional with only items that are used and enjoyed. Some wealthy and influential people utilize a “uniform” or repeat a combination
Many students in both public and private schools are required to wear school uniforms and now it’s your kid’s turn. You’ve bought your school supplies, you’ve bought your backpack, but where do you go for the best deals on uniforms? And how do you keep them looking good all year long? School uniforms: everything you need to know. PRO: You know exactly what your child is going to
Spring has finally sprung, which means it’s time to revamp your style. After all, the start of a new season is the perfect time to give yourself a makeover. But that doesn’t have to mean a drastic transformation. Even doing something small like buying new accessories can make all the difference. Everyone deserves to splash out every now and then, but not all of us can
