Have you ever particiated in any type of clothing swap? Essentially places such as local businesses, bars, coffee shops or even just friends host a time where you bring unwanted clothes and accessories and you can essentially swap them and get new (well used but new to you) clothes and accessories! And its all free - you just have to bring something. Makes sense. A local bar in my area is hosting one coming up and I am excited to go - it will be my first time at one. I am mainly excited to get rid of some of my extra clothes! Have you ever been to or hosted something like this?

No I haven't but that sounds cool. I know I sell my used pre-loved still in good / great condition or even new clothes with tags on an app called Poshmark. There are other apps like Vinted where you can sell too. Website does take a percentage 20% and you keep 80%.

@maezee The apps are for US only and you're US They have some other ones but those are the two that I've tried. I prefer Poshmark

When I was visiting my son a few years ago, I went with them to a BabySwap. They have them all the time and it sure saves a lot of money as children's clothes are so expensive and they outgrow them so fast.

Sounds fun. I don't know if I would have anything nice enough to bring! At Curves someone left a bunch of clothes that had gotten too big. We were able to help ourselves. I took a top that I still wear even though it is too big for me too now

@maezee I really liked it but they closed down in that town. I didn't live right in town and didn't go often enough. I got a good workout. It is a circuit so you don't have to adjust the machines just get on and exercise and move to the next one.

l have never attended any because l do not know if they do have any around here, but seems like a good idea,instead of always going out to buy something new,swap and you have what you want all for free
