Show Monday • February^, 2009 TACTICS from • B2 cause chances are, you're not going to find many of the things you're used to. A good tactic is to force yourself to try on things that would fit, but you can't imagine yourself wearing. Sometimes you'll be pleasantly surprised. 5. Try on everything. When possible, ignore the rule disallowing you to bring in any more than six items at a time into the dressing room. The more you try on, the more likely you are to find the perfect item. So when planning a trip to the thrift store, allow yourself plenty of extra time. 6. Check the tags. It's not rare to find vintage designer items at thrift stores. Also, you want to be comfortable with the fabrics you choose. Make sure you only purchase items you're willing to clean according to the instructions on the tags. Vintage items are far more likely to require special attention than new ones. 7. Be persistent. You're ' not going to find an entire perfect wardrobe in one visit. All of the local thrift stores update their stock daily. Be picky with your purchases, because there is always next time.

Additionally, it saves money avoiding parking stickers and pesky tickets. The biggest inconvenience a lack of car poses is in the social life department - dating in particular. On the one hand, it seems terrible to always bum rides off people like Ferris Bueller, but it's impressive how this encourages bonds with friends. You can also help cover gas. Additionally, it's not unusual in this local culture to go on group dates, where carpooling is certainly feasible - and cheaper in the long run. For just a couple's night out on the town, dismiss ideas of the "chivalrous" male with the car. Girls drive guys around all the time; it's not a gender-specific job. If there is mutual interest, one can make the date or relationship work around someone without a car (the lack of such a helping desire may be indicative of other times for give and take, which may Jordy Kirkman/ UVU Review HOTEL A non-profit community kitchen in Salt Lake City do with what you have.

I JENA VAN FRANKENHUIJSEN life writer O 4. The Complimentary Dish with no financial obligation. This house-turned-cafe has an open kitchen so you are able to see the food being prepared as well as talk with the chefs and workers. The food is laid out buffet style. As you select a bowl or plate from the mismatched dishes, a humble home feeling comes over you. There are no frills, no bells and whistles, just a good, organic variety of "home cooked" food where you can pick and choose your fare a la carte. The menu is different every day and is based on what foods are locally available for the budget. One World can teach a lesson or two on economizing. Make into compost; the other is for meat and other trash that does not easily break down. Recycle, re-use, reduce ~ a concept for healthy humanity and a healthy world. As it is a non-profit business, all supplies are purchased with donations given by customers. The idea is beautiful; people who can afford to give money for the food are making it possible for people to eat who haven't any money, so no one goes hungry. In donating money by paying for a meal out, you are helping others less fortunate. The dining rooms are peacefully decorated with billowy material hanging from the ceilings, soft lighting and Buddhas praying.
