January 29, 2015 at 1:13 pmWhen I worked, I loved the high-end consignment shops. There was the fun of variety, the rush of the find, and the thrill of a bargain. Bonus thrill points were received for finding a never-worn item with the price tags still on. I loved getting quality for a discount.

January 30, 2015 at 10:22 amI find a lot of great stuff on my local Facebook selling groups. I have not seen a high end resale store close to me but I bet there are some downtown. It is hard to find cheap high end plus size clothes though.

February 1, 2015 at 1:15 pmI must be super frugal because I do all of these. I even shop at thrift stores because our local one gets brand new with tags store items donated. Another thing I like to do is check out Amazon’s daily deals. They often have items discounted so low it’s almost impossible not to buy them all!
