There are some articles of clothing that you do not need to purchase new (e.g., infant clothing). This idea extends during the good and awful times.

Scattered in various cities around the world, it seems that thrift shopping is finally catching its moment here. Flea markets, thrift shops, and online marketplaces are great sources of savings. Start digging up unique finds in these places:

ONLINE

The Internet is a bountiful chest filled with treasures. There are two primary websites/mobile apps for preloved goods in the local scene. These are namely: Gumtree and Carousell. I have spoken a lot about these two as I tested their services myself.

a. Gumtree – The mechanics of Gumtree is synonymous with Craigslist. However, its layout is easier to navigate. It is a virtual marketplace where you can find children’s clothing, secondhand bags, and almost everything in between. You may use this platform for selling your goods too!

b. Carousell – Carousell lets you buy and sell a wide range of items in less than five minutes! Why don’t you give it a shot?
