Buying items used has to rank right up at the top of our list for spending less and saving more. But, how do you find quality used items that look like you paid thousands more than you did?
One of the biggest roadblocks to living on a lean budget is the habit of constantly buying brand new items from a retail store. Although it’s possible to shop the clearance rack at places like Kohl’s and save 90% off the retail price, that method is inconsistent, at best. But, when you add OTHER ways to find used items to your lifestyle, then you’ve got the perfect winning combination.
But, where in the world do you look? We’ve got a list of the best places we’ve found used items.
