Thrifty Living Lifestyle is best served when done with a village.

Buying in Bulk or Wholesale, you have to purchase excessive amounts of product. Duh! However, the sad truth is that when you factor in shipping cost etc. the price is over one’s budget even if it is a great deal.

A box of 9’ x 400’ visquene (plastic sheeting) at Lowe’s™ is $20.36 before tax, or 0.005655 a square foot. While this is a fair price, you have 3,600 square feet of product. For your project, you need 1,000 square feet therefore wasting away in your storeroom or trash can 2,600 square feet. Bottom-line you wasted $14.70+, not a pretty sight and something your wife will probably nag you for years to come. Visquene AKA plastic sheeting is for covering windows during the winter as I talked about in an earlier blog. (Click on link) It has been so nice of weather...

The moral of this story is to live thrifty and is best to join together with others (your place of worship, work, community, etc) and join your buying power to get great deals as well as sharing product overage.

For almost 200 years, people been buying stuff and paying high prices for it, then a man from Arkansas took hold of the retail market and streamlined it. Was this a deep, dark secret that for years was hidden from the world and only viewed by some secret society? No! It was just simple economic fact that the more you buy the lower the price. Sam Walton made the difference via Wal-Mart™ and in particular Sam’s Club™.

If all the churches and synagogues in the Carolinas bought together as one, we would save a container ship full of money. Will this happenen? No not in G-D’s lifetime, Lol. I am not out to “do in” retail establishments, of course this will never happen because there will always be someone that will still buy from Sears™, K-Mart™ and yes even Wal-Mart™ but the rest of us, will use Sam’s philosophy.

Bottom-line: Thrifty Living Best Served When Done With a Village!

Next Time or soon I will explain more in detail how you can do this.
