I just had my second son two weeks ago. I am so ready to be done with maternity clothing, but not back to my original size (of course). I want to buy some wardrobe basics for the transition period, at a really low price. Where are the good second-hand and thrift stores in the San Mateo area? Also welcome, tips of other places to buy really affordable clothing. Thanks!
can't go wrong with ross, target and burlington..i always find good deals.
Try Goodwill on 25th. also, Target and Marshalls at Bridgepoint,Ross and TJ Maxx on Delaware
Also try craigslist or your local mother's group, I seem to always see offers there. Good luck!
Absolutely check out Savers in Redwood City - it's pretty darn cheap and you can really find great stuff. Also, I'd say check out local garage sales if you have time - prices are better, but you really have to go to several to find anything your size. Another idea would be to get together with a bunch of friends and have a "clothing swap" party - have everyone bring things that don't fit or look good on them, and then swap :).
You can try freecycle.org as well. It is an online community where you can ask or offer free stuff. You can get a lot of good stuff on it.
There is a store in RWC (downtown near the new movie theater)called Savers that often has good stuff. The key there is you have to be willing to shop. It is a thrift store, and is absolutely inexpensive, but you have to sort through some duds.
Good luck.
