MY AMISH MONEY MAKEOVER

The Amish use things until they wear out—completely. This means they keep a surprisingly big amount of money that we Englishers routinely hand over to the store.

To Do:

1. Make a list of five items you would like to replace with new, but won’t just yet because you are becoming a paragon of thrift! Calculate the cost of replacing those items, and sport a big, sassy grin on your frugal face.

2. This week, try shopping in your own closet, home, and pantry, and save $$$$.
