Thrifty Thursday: Last Week

In our new little feature ' Thrifty Thursdays' I will be chronicling my adventures of thrift shopping with my little guy. We usually go thrifty at least once per week for items needed as my little one has had a growth spurt or for my Etsy shop, ROBAY STUDIO. I hunt for unique pieces of pottery, glassware and fabric of course.

Thrifty Thursday' Tip of the Week: Never underestimate the power of used kids clothing. It not only saves you boat loads of cash but your child will be ultra styling in clothes that not everyone else has. Hunt for quality brands: L.L. Bean, LandsEnd, GAP, anyth

ing Hannah Andersson, OshKosh, handmade sweaters- you get the idea!

Before purchasing find the nearest window and inspect clothes meticulously. If there is a stain you may not be able to get it out- BUT if its a quality piece and there is a tiny stain ask yourself, can I add a cute patch?

I built my sons wardrobe off of thrifting while pregnant and was able to garner some really unique items.Sooo- Get out there and thrift!
