My haul - There's at least something for everyone!
In one of the local towns, there is a bi-annual sale that offers a great opportunity to buy second hand clothes AND support a local charity.
Cash for Clothes benefits a non-profit called Coastal Communities that helps individuals with disabilities of all kinds. They help them work and live as independently as possible…which of course costs money.
This sale usually raises a couple thousand for them, and also usually provides some fantastic finds for me!
The Cash for Clothes Sale held true to it’s tradition and did land me some very nice pieces….And I don’t think I paid more than $3 for anything I bought. I’m so excited!
I got 34 items for a whopping $55!
The sale is cool because it’s both for donated items, but also consignment (the charity gets 1/2) – which means there are some really nice items.
And, they have 3 different days; Opening Day is full price, then, there’s a 1/2 Price Day the next day, then the 3rd day is Bag Day.
My strategy has been to go right when they open on 1/2 price day. I figure that way, the best stuff left from the full price day will still be there, but it’ll be 1/2 price!!
It paid off again today.
The next sale is in October – so I’ll be saving up and hoping for some good deals again this fall!
