6 Reasons Why I Love thredUP

  1. They have a HUGE selection. Seriously. It would take me hours and hours and hours to get through all the clothes they offer just in my size alone!
  2. They allow you to search by size, color, and brand. Because they have such a massive number of options, I love that you can really drill down to very specific searches — you can refine your search in great detail if you choose: what colors of clothes you want, what brands you want, and what price range. This allows you to really find exactly what types of things you are looking for.
  3. The box is always well packed. thredUP prides itself on the “unboxing” experience. When you receive your thredUP box, all of the clothing items will be hand-folded with cute thredUP tags attached to each. The items are wrapped in nice tissue paper and delivered to your doorstep in an cute polka dot box.
  4. They offer good deals on high quality items. One of my favorite ways to shop thredUP is to search for deals on high-quality brands I already know that I love and adore but would never pay full price for. You can often find name brand items that are in like-new condition (or even new with tags!) — for up to 90% off the retail price!
  5. They have lots of items for $5-8 each. thredUP has so many name brand items in the $5 to $8 range — and if you use the 40% off coupon code (below), you’ll be able to find some amazing deals!
  6. They make it easy to return. If an item doesn’t fit you, you can log into your account within 14 days from when it’s delivered to say that you want to return it. You can then print a postage paid shipping label and return slip.

thredUP also offers an easy way to clean out your closet. You can check their website to see which brands of your secondhand clothes they take and what the payouts are. Simply order a thredUP Clean Out Bag, fill it with items you no longer want, and place it at your door for pick-up.

How I Get Free Magazines

free-magazines

Liz emailed the following tip: 

I absolutely adore magazines! Flipping through the pages is such a relaxing time for me, and I can do this with a limited amount of time. However, I do not like paying for magazines. So I have found a way to help the environment and enjoy my magazines!

The local recycling company in town partners with RecycleBank, and you earn points every time you recycle. You can “cash in” your points in the reward store, and I typically use mine on magazines! I try to subscribe to a variety to keep my mind fresh and to broaden my perspectives.

Recently my subscriptions have included Food Network, Real Simple, Dwell, Money and Time. When I am done reading, I either pass the magazine onto a friend or they go into my recycling bin.

I have estimated this has saved me around $150 in the past 6 months! Now I can do something I enjoy, while saving money!

Another option is to try your library as they often have copies of recent magazines and you can request back issues.
