Take Advantage of Thrift Shops for Kids Clothing & Save Money

As an avid thrift store shopper, I guarantee that you can save a bundle of money by shopping at second-hand stores. It always amazes me that I can leave with hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise for less than twenty dollars or less.

Some of my favorite pieces of clothing have been purchased at thrift stores. You can often find clothing that has never been worn, with tags still attached. If you pay attention to some of the most eclectic NY apartments featured in magazines, some of their most unusual finds have been from thrift shops or discarded for trash.

If you live in a fairly large city, your options are increased since you will find a greater number of thrifts to choose from. The best items usually can be found in areas that are located in more upscale communities. But don't forget to check out any thrift shop close by. You never know when you might come across that great find. Some great pieces of art have been purchased this way.

If you are shopping for kids clothing, thrift shops and garage sales are the way to go. Next-to-new furniture can also be found. My friend is basically furnishing her entire house this way. If you haven't tried thrift shopping before now, it's a good time to start!
