Yesterday, I heard about a site called thredUP. Through this site, you can buy used clothes for your growing child from other parents, and sell the ones your child has outgrown. As quickly as our little girl goes through clothes at this stage, I think this sounds like a great idea. I'm constantly pulling clothes my daughter has outgrown out of her closet, and I feel like she's forever running out of clothes that fit her. I plan to look into it a little more, and I just might give it a try.
This week is another grocery shopping week, and I'm dreading it. I had at one point managed to get my grocery spending under $175 every two weeks, the last few trips have not gone that well. They've all totaled more than $200, not including any supplementary trips I needed to make later. I'm not really sure what I can do to cut it more at this point beyond rethink what we've been eating. Over the past few months, the price of ground beef has gone up quite a bit, and much of what we eat has ground beef in it. I had been buying the leanest beef available, but on my last grocery trip, I bought 90/10 meat. Perhaps we'll need to eat more chicken.
Hope you give us a try! The clothing you find on thredUP is hand-selected by our quality assurance team - great alternative to time consuming and sometimes risk buy/sell sites :) Good luck!

Thanks! I just spent a little more time on the site and was very pleased with what I saw -- both in price and assortment. It will likely be a couple weeks before I try it, but I'll do another post about it when I do. Thanks for info! —Cat.
