If the post-Christmas
shopping has your budget seeing red, there are some ways to change your
shopping habits and save some money!
Buying things
secondhand or slightly used is a great way to get expensive things for cheap. Have you ever shopped one Caring Transitions online auctions or estate sales? Our
sales are often loaded with high-end brand names for a fraction of the
price.
When it comes to
clothes, look on special websites or local stores where designer labels may be
discounted. Secondhand stores sometimes specialize in baby clothes. They
usually are full of products and clothes that may only have been used for a few
months. When it comes to gold and fine jewelry, check with friends or family
that are selling their pieces. Likely, you'll be able to pay them more than a
pawn shop. Often auctions (online or in person) will have a wide selection of
vintage clothes and jewelry. Gold,
Sterling Silver, and Coins are also common pieces to find in our sales.
Big and often
expensive items like furniture, cars, tools, and sports equipment can also be
purchased second hand or used. The furniture may need a fresh coat of paint or
stain, but will save you a lot of money in the long run. Vintage and Mid-Century Modern Furniture are
popular items for our buyers. Our estate
sales are often a good place to find all of these types of items in one place.
And don't forget, you
can also find smaller things like books, DVD's, music, or instruments used and
still in good shape. Again, estate sales and auction sales are great sources
for these! You never know what you might
find in a CT Online Auction.
