Fall is coming, which means back to school shopping starts NOW 😳  There are so many reasons that shopping secondhand is a great and eco-friendly choice --  saving money, supporting other local families, keeping clothes out of landfills, finding your kids' favorite colors and characters (not just what happens to be on the racks in stores now), and getting the thrill of a deal and/or hidden gem! These resales are stocked with new and gently used clothes, toys, books, baby gear and more! And if you're looking to purge and make some extra cash, these sales are great ways to sell the things your kids have outgrown!
