Checking Used First (3)
Cameron and I have been looking for a new set of pots and pans since we have been borrowing my sisters during the last year and now need to return them. I bought a set for $185 at Costco today and then happened to check Craigslist just out of curiosity. It just so happened someone was selling the EXACT same set, hardly used, for $60 on Craigslist. I am so excited!! Not only do I get to save lots of money (over 60% off what I was going to pay) but I also can make the eco choice of not buying new, using new resources, etc.
Just reminder - that you all know anyway - to always check out the used option. It's not only great for the wallet but great for the environment too.

That is great! I love shopping second hand. I often do check craigslist first if I need something, then request on freecycle as a second step, before buying retail. I think I have bought 2 or 3 new outfits for Joaquin since he was born, buying the rest at thrift stores and getting great hand-me-downs from generous friends. :)
Today, however, I bought Joaquin a pair of new shoes for fall/winter. The lace-up thrift store converse were a hassle to tie and keep tied for a 2-yr-old! Plus, the old skool vans are just too cute on him.

You'll feel good every time you use you beautiful "new" pots and pans!
