21 Things You Should Never Buy New

 See #10 on the list

Loving this article in Yahoo Finance today, great info on WHY these particular items are better when you ThriftScore them!

I will add another:

#22. Jeans! Too insane to pay $200 when you could go to Crossroads and pay $20 for a very high-end pair.

Go It Alone!

Check out these handy tips from Earth Divas' blog on ThriftScoring, and I heartily agree with the one that advocates to go alone. You don't want someone suggesting ridiculous things for you, or to make you feel guilty for rifling through every last hankie just in case you find the perfect one.

Surprising Find

My "bonus mother" Holly is a champion ThriftScorer. She has this stuffed rabbit named Ginger, and when she went to buy her clothes from the local Cornelius, Ore. Goodwill, she found something in the $3 bag of baby clothes: A diamond ring.

Nice ThriftScore, Holly!
