My teens are always shocked at the stuff we find thrifting and the super low prices... especially since we have found popular streetwear brands like Supreme and Obey. Now there's an all around fascination and love for the sport in our family.
It's especially exciting for me because Ty is around the same age my brother got into thrifting and would drag me out shopping with him. It was so fun! I still remember finding a pair of vintage Levi's for a quarter and vintage Candie's heels for .90! Those were the days! Before it got so popular. Before eBay. Before consignment/boutique shops.
Ty (the 15 year old) wanted to go thrift shopping this weekend and was on the hunt for Hawaiian shirts and Bill Cosby sweaters for "Summer Swag". He found 5 Hawaiian shirts and 2 Bill Cosby sweaters for a grand total of $17!
- Crooks & Castles beanie $9.99 - jackthreads.com
- "Bill Cosby" sweater (actually vintage Sears) $3.98 - thrift store
- Suede Vans (New!) $12 - thrift store
Do you have a budget for your kids Back-to-School shopping? Do you still shop for them or you let them shop on their own? Do you think your kids would like "used" clothes?
