I would love to buy clothes from an op shop. I’ve been a few times and found sone to be dirty places with yucky clothes. Or they’re light and bright places with over priced products

I agree you can get fantastic buys and save so much money and alot still have tags on!

Yes I often pass on and receive kids clothing as well.

I love going op shopping… heaps of fun!

I often pass on and recieve kids clothing.

I do this too and I quite enjoy it! I especially love finding a bargain or an amazing piece hidden away. So much fun!

i ike these stories

I love second hand clothes. I don’t real but them more that we get given hand me downs. I then pass them one to my friends for their kids. It is a great way to help save money

I have a whole load of kids clothes too small. This has reminded me to pass them along!

I Op shop regularly! I can’t justify spending big money on clothes they will grow out of so quickly! I also get quite a few hand-me-downs and I buy from FB buy and sell pages. I am picky with what I buy, looking for good quality clothing. I love it so much, I have started buying some of my own clothes this way! I have gotten so awesome bargains!

Also, I accept hand me downs from friends – and offer them to different friends with kids younger than mine.

Op shops are amazing value for money, plus you know the clothes are clean and in good condition. I check out Target too because their prices are good and, if they have a sale on, you’re quids in!

I have found it is cheaper to go to Kmart especially when they have the sales and can get shirts for $2

I like buying clothes in second hand shops too. Sometimes you find very good quality items for fantastic prizes!

The treasures you can find in op shops is amazing! I love it! Could spend many hours just searching through. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure!

  Searching for treasures and chatting with people including staff is half of the fun. It is actually a good community activity.

I think that is a smart way to keep the cost of a child wardrobe supplies down. Like yourself and many others here we avoid purchasing 2nd hand shoes.

Buying some items second hand does make sense and I do it all of the time. Like you; I purchase good quality shoes as we have feet in this household that are quite tricky to fit and that often means more expensive fitted shoes!

I brought second hand shos off the buy and sell facebook page

Also look on gumtree and I agree I don’t buy second hand shoes for my kids.

I’m not up to school uniforms, but we used to have a 2nd hand kids shop where you could buy and sell things. I took some near new stuff down and swapped it for more near new stuff. It’s a great way to save
