Do you ever wander into a local diner or eatery and wonder about who owns it? How long they’ve been in business, or the inner workings behind the scenes?

Welcome to the first official Thrifty Nickel blog of 2013! We’re happy that you’ve found us today and are reading this savings filled blog right now. Hopefully all of you had a wonderful new years eve filled with friends, family, and of course lots of fireworks! Truckload Fireworks was all over the Permian Basin this past week trying to make sure that we all brought in 2012 with a bang.

Did you end up making any resolutions this year? Some resolutions people make are very good, but you need to tell others so that they can hold you accountable to your goals. Otherwise we work on changing things in our lives for a few weeks and then we get bored and quit. So if you haven’t already, go tell someone your new years resolution. It can be anyone, a coworker, parent, or even that guy you see at Starbucks every morning. (Unless your resolution was to stop going to Starbucks, then you really shouldn’t tell him!)

A great resolution for the new year would be to utilize Thrifty Nickel for your buying and selling needs. Make some room in your residence and sell those old collectables collecting dust! Once you’ve cleared out that cluttered room in your home, you’ll have room to put that new weight bench you bought from Thrifty Nickel, or anything really!
