Here’s this week’s Secondhand Sunday deal!
Today’s Secondhand Sunday deal was sent in by Meagan. She wrote, “I homeschool four kiddos and I have wanted to buy a world globe for quite some time for visual purposes. When I researched some on the internet, the average price was 40 plus dollars! So I have been putting it off, hoping to find a good deal or hand me down. I went to my neighbor’s yard sale and scored this beautiful globe for a WHOPPING 25 cents. You can’t buy too much with 25 cents and this was a major deal!”
It is a beautiful globe Meagan and for just a quarter, what an amazing deal. I looked online and found a similar one that sold for about $50 on eBay, that’s a savings of 99.5%.
Secondhand Sunday is a series I’m doing through the summer to feature deals that readers are finding secondhand – either at a thrift shop, garage sale or on Craigslist. It’s to encourage us all to consider secondhand purchases when we try to save money. Meagan will get a $10 Amazon gift card for sending in her secondhand treasure!
