Day 11: Buy Used

Today’s tip for reducing spending: Buy used when able (buying from eBay and Craigslist help more money go to missions and ministries)

So, we all want the best shiniest things for our department, but the truth is that we’d do fine with used stuff in a lot of areas. The bigger encouragement here is to bargain shop (and I don’t mean to solicit donations or discounts). A quick search on Google for the product that you are purchasing will show you a price comparison for that product and allow you to make an informed decision. Give it a go today. Then, check it out on eBay to see if you can get it for even less.
