Wednesday is my favorite day of week and not because it’s HUMP day–i t’s 50% off day at my favorite thrift store. . I have nothing against retail stores. I shop at them regularly, but I love to shop for clothing for myself and my girls at a local thrift store, especially ON WEDNESDAYS.

Buying used is one way to increase the sustainability of your life. There are many consumer electronics items that you can purchase used.

Thrift shopping is making a comeback and we are loving it! That being said, in-person thrift stores aren’t always ideal.

Chances are you’ve got a few pieces tucked away at the back of your closet that could use a little rediscovering. If you have an uneasiness when it comes to “used” clothing, know that there are many different tiers of second hand stores.
