says DO your local thrift stores and goodwill–nothing like a “like new” pair of Vasque boots for $1.50 or $.50 day packs reputable brands!!
Watch for sales at retail stores, they normally have a discount aisle where you can some great stuff cheap!
Always a good idea to write in to the editorial spot in your local newspaper (where they put recipe questions) you would be amazed at how many people are paying attention to those columns and are willing to donate or get rid of things real cheap….
awasum!
Always browse discount sites like REI Outlet
if you go to a yard sale buy the cheepist camping gear then go camping and live with it.
So I can be as thrifty as possible I separate my money into three envelopes. Spend, save, and give.
Garage sales and craigs list for great deals on gear. I rescue cast Iron dutch ovens all the time.
Can you give me some?!?
The good thing about finding stuff at Garage Sales is that you can sometimes clean it up and sell it for more money than you spent. Then you can use that money for more gear.
thats the same thing i do
Along with the traditional outdoor recreational dealers like REI, the Sportsmans Guide catalog offers great prices on new and used camping and outdoor gear.
