The 10 Benefits of Shopping Second hand

What are the benefits of shopping second hand?

If you were like me as a child, I absolutely hated my mum dragging me into charity shops as a child, I just couldn't stand them. There was a real stigma about then back in the 90s, early 00's.

But now, more people are taking steps to be sustainable and have a eco friendly home. Whether they use reusable coffee cups when out an about, reusable nappies for your little one or buying preloved items.

Now, I'm the parent that cant get enough of charity shops, car boots and looking for a good bargain. I'm dragging my children into the charity shops and boots, but they are enjoying finding treasures too!

There is so many actions you can take to save the landfill from unnecessary rubbish.
