Natalie Joy Miller, a thrifty mom from Portland, saves significantly by purchasing second-hand gifts for her son, Artie. Over the last five years, she estimates her thrifting has saved her about $5,000. For his recent birthday, she spent less than $150 on 13 carefully selected gifts, and for Christmas just $154 on 22 gifts. Miller’s passion for thrifting began in her teenage years, and she enjoys the treasure hunt aspect, emphasizing the sustainability benefits of choosing preloved items over new ones.
"Pretty much all of his stuff is second hand and I love to find gems in thrift stores and sometimes online on Facebook Marketplace."
"I believe I have saved $5,000 in the last five years by thrifting for my son's gifts instead of buying new."
