Okay so I am going to admit this- I used to hate the idea of shopping second hand. Thrift shops, Goodwill, garage sales....ICK! But now I'm kicking myself for not starting on this sooner. I think of all the money I could have saved and awesome clothes I could have had if only I would have jumped on the bandwagon sooner. Don't get me wrong I love "new" things and the enjoyment of walking into a fine boutique, well, there is no comparison but I've learned to look more than indulge. And now having two boys that seem to grow faster than my weeds, as if that is possible, I have definitely made the switch and am so happy because of it. Might I add Nate is very thrilled too because my spending has dropped dramatically. I started couponing this past year, watching the paper and the ads and am a frequent G.W. shopper. I do have to say it has become the "trendy thing", Nate Berkus has had so many shows on thrifting , Hello!, Mr. Goodwill Hunting! (

When I have time, I like going to the goodwill or thrift stores. Not so much for clothes, but for other things. I found a very cool teapot set at a goodwill.
ReplyDeleteI just recently started shopping there for clothes and have found some really awesome deals, just go on Tuesdays- when they have their tag sale....everything that is the color of the week is only $1.49.
