I'm cheap... but our Goodwills and other thrift places are insane on prices - jeans and are $9, books and games for $5... I can find cheaper stuff on clearance at Target and Walmart. My mom and I do "girls" weekend in Milwaukee (1.5hr away) and hit all the goodwills and TJMaxxes, hunting for stuff. We don't really have anything in mind... get it when I see it.
My house is pretty much furnished by Craig's List... I can't think of one thing of furniture I have that isn't from there or hand me down... Just bought a small desk for my bible journaling off Marketplace for $40.
95% of my books and homeschooling curriculum is second hand... almost all our games we use for schooling, is too... almost all of Jake's clothes are from rummage sales or thrift... my clothes I do buy off clearance, but that is because I'm a big girl.
