I’m a thrift store junkie- I love buying used books, vintage clothes, older furniture pieces- anything I can get my hands on. I save a ton of money and get the same products. Plus, browsing thrift and secondhand stores is a lot of fun! If you need to get some shopping done soon, but want to save money, check out this post by theteacherswife at Ebay.com for things you should always buy used:
-Books and textbooks- this will save college students HUNDREDS of dollars
-Cars
-Toys, toys, toys! – Just give them a good wipedown first
-Clothing and specialty dresses
-Furniture
However, you should never buy used:
-Electronic devices (laptops, tvs)
-Car seats, bike helmets, and other safety equipment
-Or anything plush- stuffed animals, used pillows, couches, etc.
