Kids Clothing Swap: How ThreadUp Works

Have you heard of ThreadUp?

I have used ThreadUp a few times now, and I can tell you… It is SUCH a great way to get kids clothes really cheap. Plus, it helps you find a new home for the stuff that your own kids have outgrown. I love trading in stuff that Abby has hardly worn for things that she really needs right now!

Here is how it works:

You get your first box free, to try it out. You browse the “Boxes” that other members have posted. Some include pictures, some link to pics on their Facebook, but all include a detailed description of all of the items included in the box. There are usually about 10-15 items in each box.

You get the box free, but you do pay shipping, about $10. Then the box is sent to you, and you have a bunch of gently worn, but new to you, clothes and accessories!

To continue swapping, you have to participate too! You just click the “request boxes” button, and they’ll send you out a bunch of shipping boxes. You put together a few boxes, and post the details on the site. When someone wants to buy your box (always only $5 a box) THEY pay the shipping, and you simply print out a shipping label, attach it, and have it picked up! Easy peasy. Every box you swap out gives you a credit to pick another new box!

Sounds cool, right?

I love this. My little girl had so many really cute baby outfits that she never even got to wear, so this was a great way to trade them in for stuff that she needs now! Check it out, sign up for a FREE account, and go check out the selection. I think you’ll be a fan too.

Free Coupon E-Course Available Now!

Free Coupon E Course

Check out the new FREE Coupon E-Course!

I signed up for this last week, and am really happy with it so far. Great information for beginners, and some new tips that I didn’t know yet. Plus, they have tons of other great resources that you use on their site too.

Read more:

This FREE couponing e-course will teach you to get hundreds of dollars a month in free household items, food, and toiletries. Click Here to sign up today and start saving!

They’re not saying that you will get all of your products for free, but that you could have savings of hundreds of dollars a month. At first that sounded really unreasonable to me, but then I thought about my own savings already… I go grocery shopping once every week and a half usually, and save around $30-$40 per trip.

So I guess that these coupon savings really do add up quickly! I’d never thought about it as saving “hundreds of dollars”, but I do save around $100 bucks a month. That realization made me pretty proud of myself! :)

I know that if I take the time to learn a little more, and start using more of the store match-ups, I can save even more. So I am excited to be a part of this e-course. Check it out, and let me know if it helps you out with your savings too!

And for more coupon savings, check out my Super Coupon Sunday resource in this post. Plus, I’m looking for people who would be interested in doing a guest post on couponing tips for a new series I’d like to start in a couple of weeks. Let me know in the comments of via email if you are intersted!

Check your email for $10 off at Groupon!

Groupon.com

Groupon… Are you using it yet?

I always heard everyone talking about the great deals that they would get at Groupon, so I finally signed up so I could get these deals too. It’s a bit of a bummer, because they don’t have deals in my city, so I signed up to see Seattle deals. But it still works great…. Lots of the deals are at places that I will use here. And I can stock up on tons of great deals like cheap restaurant gift certificates, or tickets to events, and use them when we go over there to visit.

I got an email this morning with a coupon code good for $10 off any deal at Groupon, which is pretty awesome, since their deals go as low as 90% off already!

Make sure to check your email if you’re a Groupon member, and see if you got this sweet deal too. And if you’re not using Groupon yet, go check it out! All you do is fill out a quick sign up form, and they’ll start sending you a daily email with a new hot deal. If you don’t like the deals, unsubscribe, easy as that.

But I’m betting that if you sign up, you’ll love it! Plus, if you’re a fan of deal sites, check out a new one I just started using, Tippr:

“Subscribe to our newsletter and we’ll email you exclusive 50% to 90% off daily deals toward spas, restaurants, and more. Click Here to learn more!”

Have a great weekend!
