Recently, during a business liquidation, I came across a set of unopened vintage items that sparked something deeper than usual curiosity. All still in their original packaging and dating between 1987 and 1993, the collection included a silverplate demitasse set, crystal candlesticks, bowls, and vases—items once meant for celebration, gift-giving, or elegant entertaining.

In today’s economic climate, where the cost of living continues to rise and inflation is stretching budgets thin, finding creative ways to save money is more important than ever. One powerful strategy I preach about often is shopping for and using used items. Not only does this practice help you fight inflation, but it also brings about a host of environmental and societal benefits that can reshape how we think about consumption.
