Everyone doesn’t want to spend $300 on a pair of shoes for their sprouting kiddo just because they can. For chic and stylish clothing, the entire family can dress for less by shopping at Birmingham thrift stores and consignment shops.

Top brands can easily be scouted either gently used or even better, brand new, and resale shops. With the steady increase in gas prices and food, it’s enough to remind everyone that shopping thrift stores can help you manage your lifestyle budget.
From baby clothing to toys, to furniture and housewares, secondhand styles are ideal in swinging a look that would otherwise strangle your monthly budget.
Do take caution to check with resale vendors and request seller guidelines. Most vendors no longer accept or sell car seats and cribs due to federal safety rules, which require them to meet many criteria to sell the items. Before buying an item, it’s always a good idea to check whether it has been recalled through the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Have a ton of items you’d like to get off of your hands? Thrift stores and consignment shops just might be calling your name. Our list will enable you to plan out your shopping spree!
