Your toilet brush holder! Genius! I have cardboard boxes doing what fancier containers could do. If no one sees it, then a recycled box is great. Thrifting for clothes is hard, as you say; thrifting household items is in a golden era, as wealthy older people downsize.

That's true about household goods. I've picked up a lot of dishes in recent years! And yes, cardboard boxes for the win!

I like library sprees for a similar feeling of abundance and new stuff that doesn't cost anything. Great piece, appreciate your efforts!

Yes! We're so lucky to have a HUGE library system that can get almost anything. I just started using the Hoopla library app for streaming...so good!

It's a lot of time to log all your clothes, but it is pretty fun!

It's probably better if I spend my time logging the clothes I own than scrolling the internet for clothes I'd like :) (Which is EXACTLY what I was doing this AM)
