We Are Alive! Thrifting for Treasure - A $3 Linen Shirt

It's turning out to be another busy day. I spent the morning getting caught up on emails and paying bills (yuck), but also had errands to do outside. I visited the bank, the PO box, got some lunch and stopped at a thrift store.

I found a very nice button-down shirt. If it looks a bit wrinkly, it is. It's "washable linen" a very nice fabric that is very special to find a good price. And this is why I thrift. Not because I'm cheap. It's because I try not to spend money I don't have to.

And still enjoy nice things.

Weatherproof Vintage is a brand found at Macy's and Nordstrom. A shirt like this is sold new for about $60.00 USD.

All it takes is a little extra effort and we can enjoy nice things and still afford to pay the bills.

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.

Yes, finding things that's affordable and cool is a good one.
Instead of spending much on a thing, forgetting other bills.

Totally agree with you that there's no need to overspend to enjoy nice things. At the end of the day, what matters is being smart and taking advantage of good deals.

That shirt sounds like a great find, washable linen is such a gem, especially when you score it at a good price.
