Buying second hand has lots of benefits – as well as being good for the environment, and preventing things from going to landfill, second hand items also cost a lot less and by shopping around for something that is second hand you can save yourself a fortune.
Whatever it is that you are after, you can usually find it second hand. Of course, where you buy from depends on the item, but here are some of the places that you can go to if you want something second hand…
Charity Shops – As well as getting a bargain, when you buy from a charity shop you are also supporting a charity, so it is a great way to shop! Many people find good quality items in charity shops, and you can get quality clothing for a much cheaper price.
Specialist Companies – Some companies specialise in second hand items, and they are certainly worth a try if there is something in particular you are after. For example, for recycled tech, go to somewhere like this refurbished laptops company www.refurbishedlaptops.co.uk/
Car Boot Sales – If you are after a bargain then a car boot sale is a great place to look. You never know what you might find at a car boot sale, and it is worth getting there early as this is often when all the best things get snapped up! Whether you want books, furniture or clothing, it is worth having a look around some local car boot sales.
