My latest Money Crashers article is on a topic I have a fair amount of experience with: secondhand shopping.
Shopping secondhand is nearly always the most ecofrugal choice. Nearly, not always, because some items — appliances, for instance — are likely to be more fuel-efficient if you buy them new. But in general, buying used is a way to save money and natural resources at the same time: an ecofrugal win-win.
However, I admit that some secondhand deals are better than others. So in this article, I discuss which types of products make the best secondhand buys of all — from wedding dresses to musical instruments. Nearly everything on this list is something that Brian or I or both of us have bought used at least once, and we've generally been satisfied with our bargains.
