It's the age old battle between being price conscientious and your kids finding themselves the object of ridicule at school-whether or not you should do your school clothes shopping at a thrift store! It's a sad but true fact that many of today's fashion conscious pre-teens whose parents have more money than sense look down their noses at teens walking around in thrift store wear.
On the other hand, thrift store shopping is a great way to save big bucks on your kids' school clothes!
Here are two tips for thrift store shopping guaranteed to keep both you and your teen happy:
1) Check out the condition of the clothes. Nothing screams "thrift store" like faded fabrics, snagged seams and holes in the arms! On the other hand, many of the clothes donated to thrift stores are in great shape. Your teen's friends will never know the difference!
2) How old are the clothes? Today's department stores are "hip", and if your teen's clothes are dated they're bound to find themselves the victim of one joke or another. Consider style when you're buying. Not sure? Stick with timeless cuts and fabrics.
