About Sac Thrift Chick


Hi, I'm Laura I. Winn, AKA Sac Thrift Chick, and this is where I blog about my thrifty lifestyle in Sacramento, California. You can also find me on Instagram and Pinterest.


I'm a fan of thrift stores, Craigslist, and working the coupons, sales and points at department stores. I share tips on finding great deals and show off some of my favorite thrifty fashions. I live in my childhood home. and most my suburban abode is furnished and decorated by free or uber cheap Craigslist or FB Marketplace treasures. 

I blog about the arts & culture events I attend in Sacramento and Northern California, as well as the thrifty craft projects I create. I love a good themed party or wedding, and I am really big on holidays, especially Halloween.

I have a long and varied career as a freelance writer, editor and content coordinator. In addition to reporting on all things Sacramento for newspapers and magazines, I have covered music for local and national publications, and contributed to leading fashion, family, beauty and health websites. I also ghostwrite for professionals, including doctors, lawyers and veterinarians. Once upon a time, I was a record scout for a major label. 

I'm happily married to Aaron, a creative Mr. Fix It, who has created or helped with some of the popular projects on this blog. 

Sac Thrift Chick covers many thrifty topics, but I do not share recipes for eating out of Mason jars. As a professional medical writer, I believe you should get your medical advice from trusted health websites and not the blogs of random mommies and health gurus on the internet.

Sac Thrift Chick is dedicated to Barry Wisdom, a great Sacramento photographer and writer, who passed away in 2016. He helped coin the blog name.

Thanks for stopping by!
