Winston Fifield, of Owls Head: "Go to secondhand stores and look for sales." Dawn Taylor, of Kingfield: "Spend carefully. You can get new merchandise right at the thrift shops and spend less money." Sarah Traynor, of Carrabassett Valley: "Buy as local as you can." Jim Brochu, of Freeman: "Don't buy on credit." Sterling Hooke, of Kingfield: "Hit up Wal-Mart and don't go overboard."
