Why I Buy Used Children's Items

   Mr. Picturesque and I get super excited whenever we can save money and get a good deal. Well, yesterday Mr. P. and I went to a bi-annual event where they sell gently used children's items and I had to share my awesome finds! 
   All over the country there are various types of events in your city that offer gently used children's items for sale. We have been able to get such great items for dirt cheap at these events! If you want ideas of where to buy gently used children's items, I have written another article with some ideas (see it here). 
    I don't know why more parents don't buy gently used items. All you have to do is clean up the items when you get home, but they are such a good price and in such good condition... I don't really have a problem doing that. Check out this adorable adirondack rocking chair we bought from Salvation Army (original price $60, SA price was $25):

   There of course are certain items I will never buy used... like items that are severely stained, too hard to really clean, or items like underwear/bras. But other items like clothing, toys, high chairs, I will never buy retail!
    Here are the awesome finds I bought at our local even Just Between Friends yesterday:

V-Tech Fly & Learn Globe, Original price: $160, Used price: $5.

Radio Flyer Trike Original price: $70, Used price: $10

Step 2 Fun Fold Slide Original price: $99, Used price: $25

Radio Flyer Trike Original price: $70, Used price: $12

    What kind of steals have you found buying used? 

Pin for later.
