Sales, Second-hand, and Splurges: Thrifting Edition

Hey friends. I love shopping, and my personal motto is: Sales, Secondhand, OR Splurges (although the splurges are a more rare occasion, TBH). You can find some REALLY great deals perusing second-hand and reseller websites, as well as consignment and thrift stores. The picture below is just a sample of some of my favorite "upcycled" purchases. Honestly, most of my kids' clothes are secondhand ... because they're little and ruin clothes, so why purchase name brand items at full price? I lose zero minutes of sleep if they're stained at the end of the day. Listed below are some tips and links to other's tips on buying secondhand, as well as a picture of some of my favorite recent second-hand finds.
