Shop Sustainably and Save Money with Consignment
Whether you’re a first time parent, or getting ready to welcome another child into your family, a great way to save money on clothing for your little one is to shop at your local consignment boutique. I get it, there are times when you find the perfect brand-new outfit you just have to have for your little one, and there’s nothing wrong with that!
Children grow fast! Sometimes, they’re only able to wear an outfit a couple times before they’ve completely outgrown it. Buying brand-new clothing for babies, toddlers, and children every time they need a larger size can get pretty expensive. Therefore, a great budget-friendly option for finding gently used (often like-new) clothing, is shopping at consignment stores.
Depending on where you live, whether it’s a big city or small town, you will (almost) always find consignment stores. A lot of these stores carry brand name clothing in great condition at a fraction of the original retail price. Shopping on consignment also helps bring sustainability to your community by keeping excessive amounts of clothing out of landfills. You can feel good about helping the environment all while buying quality clothing at affordable prices!
You could even consider putting some of your child’s outgrown clothing ON consignment. This is especially helpful if are expecting another child. You can collect the earnings from the clothing you sold on consignment, and use it to shop for new-to-you baby clothes at the same consignment shop!
