ThredUp - Save BIG on Back-to-School!

.

Have you heard about the awesome clothing swapping program, ThredUp? I had heard of it but just recently started using it and I have already been WOW'ed by what I have received. In one box alone I got 36 shirts for my Daughter! Cost wise, that broke down to about $0.44 per shirt! I can't even find deals that great at a garage sale!

I encourage you to check out ThredUp and if you sign up HERE you will get a $5 credit toward your first purchase.

How it works is actually quite simple :

• Create a ThredUp account
• List boxes of items you want to swap or Search boxes currently available (TIP: stuff your boxes to the max if you are listing. List items that you, yourself would pay for)
• Pay just $5 for your box choice, plus S&H
• If your box sells, the buyer pays S&H so you just print the label and mail
• After you receive your box in the mail make sure you leave feedback for the seller right away...this is how you earn more swaps!
• Lastly -- stalk the ThredUp facebook page. Many sellers post pictures of the items in their boxes and others post the items they are in search of (ISO). Great boxes are snatched up quickly so you want to act fast if you see something you like. 

I can't think of a better way to save big money on name brand items for back to school than this! Happy Thredding! :-)
