I see where I get this now. Not only is my mother, Colleen, a champion ThriftScorer, but my bonus/step mother Holly is too. How could I ever escape this fate?
We are getting married in August at Holly's winery and vineyard. And, in the spirit of being as sustainable and practical as possible, we added to her collection of beautiful restaurant/caterer plates to serve 100. If we'd rented them, they'd cost about 55 cents each. Which is about how much we bought them for. So now she can just keep them there and use them as she needs. I don't ever recall going to an event and noticing if the plates exactly matched ... The other great thing about ThriftScoring plates is that you can bring food over to people's homes and let them keep the plate as a gift.

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.
