When I found out I was pregnant I would purchase clothing by the bulk, not individually. I was able to bargain and get a much better deal by taking them all! Plus, it was one less box the sellers had to move in and always LOVED the deal! When I heard of the service that thredUP offers, I knew I had to look into it.
If you are not familiar with thredUP, here’s how it works:
In order to maximize my savings, I went through all of the “older” clothing I had for Mini-Me. I thought I had clothing to last her until she was in a 4T, but, that’s not the case. Mini-Me is in need of 3T clothing! So I was grateful when thredUP came to be to do a review!
I searched “spring/summer, 3T” and came up with about 5 pages of options. Being that we don’t have pets and are non-smokers I felt that it was important to get a nice clean box! I ended up finding a box that contained several shorts, jumpers, a few shirts, and bathing suits. I was also able to look at a few pictures that were being offered and jumped on that box!
For the price of $15, it’s well worth it! If I would’ve bought the same items at Once Upon A Child, I probably would’ve spent well over $30, if not more.
- Since thredUP is a swapping community, you can also de-clutter by sending boxes of stuff your kids no longer use to other moms for free – all without leaving the house. Going green has never been easier…
- On average, swapping kids gear can lighten your overall eco-footprint by 5% (based on an EPA report and thredUP user stats).
- Since thredUP’s launch (last Earth Day) they have helped over 100,000 parents ‘up-cycle’ 500,000+ kids items – that’s enough gear to pave 200 miles!
- Swap instead of shop this Earth Day to lighten your family’s eco-thumbprint (without lifting a finger).
