Anyone who knows my wife or I would tell you that we thoroughly enjoy thrift store shopping.
The thrill of walking into a store of heavily discounted and unique items is unlike any other shopping experience. While on one of our recent trips I found this bag for sale in the checkout line.
Although this item was not unique (there was at least 15 more on the rack behind this one), it did perfectly express my appreciation for this store.
- A short and simple phrase “I love Goodwill” reminded me of my Minimalist ways
- Two of my favorites colors (black and blue)
- The message expressed on the tote shows my fondness of this retail store
No money can’t buy you happiness, but if spent intentionally and thoughtfully, it can allow you to purchase things with deep meaning.
Everytime I use this tote for shopping, carrying groceries, on transporting goods to and from my car, I’ll be reminded of one of my favorite places.
Until next time, yall have a good one.

- Underconsumption or Just Real Life? Why Using What You Own Is Trending AgainA nearly empty bottle of lotion. A pair of shoes that has been repaired instead of replaced. The same outfit worn repeatedly. A phone kept long after a newer model became available. These ordinary choices now have a social media label: “underconsumption core.” The trend gained attention as people began sharing repaired clothing, well-used possessions,…
- Is Your Side Hustle Actually Making You Money?Side hustles are often discussed as if every dollar earned is additional income. You make $1,000 selling products online. You earn $500 driving on the weekends. You collect $2,000 from freelance clients. Those numbers may sound impressive. But revenue is not the same as profit. The money coming in does not tell you how much…
- Blog Bites – The Subscription You Forgot Is Still Spending Your MoneyThe subscription may have started with a free trial. Perhaps it was an app you planned to use, a streaming service you wanted for one show, or a fitness program that seemed helpful at the time. You entered your payment information and moved on. Months later, you may have forgotten that the service exists. Your…
