Episode #2
Thrift store shopping and curbside finds.
And we’re moving on—I’m so excited to be back with another podcast episode.
- Friends and family are a great resource to keep in mind when you’re looking for something. Facebook is another great way to put the word out that you’re looking for something.
- We talk about charity stores, and “mall” type stores where we can shop and find good deals.
- Why you should set yourself a spending limit on thrift store shopping.
- To yard sale or not to yard sale, that is the question. When is the best time to stop by a yard sale?

Hi Gail!
Oh my word! these pod casts are wonderful!
I just listened to both of them tonight. I had no idea until you mentioned them in your latest email to me. So glad you're getting to do this.
You're going to reach lots of folks who otherwise can't sit and read everything.
In fact, I was listening to you on my phone ...while I was also scanning some blogs on my pc.
Loved your list of Top 5 things you never pass up... great list!
(we are like minded in so many ways!) Great job!
