Having a child can be a phenomenally
rewarding but expensive experience. But
with a bit of second-hand know-how you
can save up to 90 per cent on most of
your purchases.
When a baby is born you over buy on the
cutest outfits and ‘must have’ equipment
most of which hardly gets worn or used
– sometimes clothes fit in the wrong
seasons or your little ones just grow so
quickly! Within only a few short months
of your little ones arrival, you are left
with bags of outgrown clothes – so what
do you do with them?
Preloved baby/children’s sales are a
perfect way to clear some space in your
house and turn items into cash. The
people attending the sales are there to

buy baby/children’s items, so that’s half
the battle! Obviously you cannot control
if they are buying for a boy or a girl but
they are buying for children!
Many sales are for items up to 10 years
making it a fabulous place for older
children’s items too!
“Having twin boys doubles all my baby
expenses but by buying great quality,
pre-loved items my budget goes so much
further, and I am amazed at the bargains
I have found!” Debbie Talbot. Mum to
Jack & Tom 18 months
Buying
pre-loved
clothes,
toys
and equipment also has many
environmentally enhancing benefits,
lowering our carbon footprint, recycling
& avoiding landfill. We’ve all got to think
about our little ones futures!
Buying pre-loved makes sense in the
current economic climate.
