| I made a master list of all the things I want to buy at yardsales/thrift stores and also I wrote down all the Holiday's that I buy gifts for on the same list...along with ideas and the price limit...I will keep it in my purse and make copies of the yardsale/thrift store list for my SIL and my MIL so they can be on the look out too! I allready scored some mini muffin tine from my MIL from a yardsale b/c of doing this...  This way I will always have it on my mind...I amy be able to get some good deals for Holiday's this way. I am known for not thinking too far ahead...maybe it will help! |
