Family savings have reached thousands by utilizing platforms like Facebook Marketplace and freecycling resources to acquire free or low-cost items. Notable free finds include a swing set, arcade games, and baby essentials, while minor costs occasionally arise for replacements. The household practices a strict 50-30-20 budgeting rule to manage finances effectively, allocating at least 20% to savings. Welcomed curb giveaways and community exchanges have reinforced their saving habits since purchasing their home in 2021.
We have saved thousands of dollars on shoes, clothes for our kids, baby gear, and big-ticket items by creatively getting things for free or cheap.
I scored a free swing set worth around $2,000 through Facebook Marketplace after scrolling for months across various community groups.
