Find on a Dime
The number 10 symbolizes a circle…think about coming full circle!
I am a previous women’s consignment store owner and although I had to close my store during the last recession, my infatuation with saving and consigning what is still in amazing condition and relevant is very real! I will offer you tips and tricks to make that dime or dollar go so much further!
Smart Savings
Three Ways to Stretch Your Dollar
Whether you’re looking to declutter and earn money, save on purchases, or build better financial habits, we’ve got practical tips to help you make the most of every dime.
1. Resell What You Don’t Use
Consignment apps like Poshmark, ThredUp, and Mercari are great for clothing and accessories. Local options like Facebook Marketplace or neighborhood consignment shops help you avoid shipping costs. High-quality photos and detailed descriptions increase your chances of selling quickly.
2. Stretch Your Dollar
Use cashback apps like Rakuten or Honey for online shopping. Buy secondhand from thrift stores and online resale platforms where brand-new items cost a fraction of retail. Simple DIY repairs like sewing a button or polishing shoes can make items look new again.
3. Turn Saving Into a Habit
Try the “$5 Savings Challenge” by saving every $5 bill you receive. Meal planning reduces food waste and saves money weekly. Conduct a subscription audit and cancel unused subscriptions—those small charges add up fast!
Coming Full Circle
The number 10 symbolizes a circle—think about coming full circle! Just like a piggy bank gave us the money for a Barbie or race car, a new outfit or a used one, a little extra money for vacation, and so much more, we can all find creative ways to extend that dime and give items their second home while earning something back in dollars.
Smart Consignment
Consignment apps and platforms make it easier than ever to turn your unused items into cash. From clothing to accessories, there’s a platform for almost everything you want to sell.
Local consignment shops and Facebook Marketplace offer great alternatives when you want to avoid shipping costs and connect with your community.
Upcycling & Second Chances
Upcycling is not a new term, but it sure does allow us to give any item its second home as well as earn something back in dollars. Finding creative ways to see things uniquely and give them their second chance is what makes this blog feel so incredibly right.
We can all take a moment and look around our homes—maybe it’s to find more space, clear out items that haven’t been touched in months or years.
