Craig's List for Thrifty, Eco-Conscious Parents

In the spirit of recycling and cheapskatiness, we recently bought a train table on Craig's List for half the price. It is pre-loved, but our 17 month old didn't notice this, or that Santa arrived 1 month early. Ok, let's not kid ourselves. Weapon X doesn't know who Santa is, but he is darn glad he finally showed up.

Craig's List is a free online classifieds website with special sections for specific cities. This is certainly the season to buy and sell gently-used children's items on Craig's list or other classifieds sites. Especially when your children are too young to know the difference.

Also consider Freecycle, or your local used children's stores.
