Thrifty Shoppers are Eco-Shoppers


Buying secondhand clothing has an impact far beyond just your pocketbook; it sends ripples of influence throughout industry. If you just want to save money, buying used clothing is very satisfying.
You would be amazed the fabulous things people give away, sometimes never worn.
But buying secondhand clothing also keeps your dollars away from companies that support sweatshop labor, and reduces demand for the natural resources that go into making new clothes.
Check your local phone listings for thrift and consignment shops near you. When you do buy new clothes consider long-lasting options that you know you’ll enjoy wearing for a long time.
