Best things to buy at nearly new sales

[squizita]

I love baby/child nearly new sales! Our local nct and parent groups do them.

My favourite buys are:
-Smart baby clothes (expensive and only worn a little ... so always almost new and cheaper!);
-plastic things like trays, baths etc
-Gro bag sleep bags.

What are your nearly new and charity shop faves?

I love looking through charity shops for merino jumpers, I make my lo super soft trousers from the sleeves for hardly any money! Super easy too. Best NCT finds have been knitted blankets for £1!

Genius! Stealing that idea.

Wooden toys.

Basically clothes! We've got so many really nice clothes for her from those places at really good price

How do you make yet trousers from jumpers?

This is the pattern I used, you can use any jumpers really if you're not using the trousers as nappy covers

Just remembered another awesome NCT find- a Handysitt wooden booster seat for £5, we've used it instead of a highchair- total bargain!

I know someone who got a Bugaboo Cam

I got a brand new Ergo carrier with the newborn insert at our local charity shop for £9!

In the end we bought 2 stair gates, a bath chair thing, many baby books, some gro bags, and a brand new bottle/food warmer. All under £25.

We get a lot of clothes from the nearly new sales, and I've also had a lot of bro-bags, some wooden building bricks for £1 and various toys and books. We missed the one before our first child was born as we were away but could have got some great bargains.
