Win a FREE Year of Pro membership to thredUp (ends 11/8)
Sunday, October 31, 2010
This contest is now over. Thank you for participating and congratulations to Christy Cross!
Are you tired of spending a butt load of cash on clothes your kids outgrow in less than 6 months? I know I am. There are a lot of cute outfits for little ones, but it’s frustrating to know they might only get worn a few times before they no longer fit. That’s why I put together a list of 8 Ways to Save on Clothes to help you take the sting out of wardrobe shopping. As an added bonus, I’m also going to offer you a chance to win a pro membership to thredUP.
thredUP.com is a new online community for swapping kids’ clothing. Basically, the site allows parents across the country to exchange full boxes of kids clothing – all online, without leaving the house. thredUP connects families, facilitates swaps and monitors quality to ensure high quality exchanges.
How does it work? It’s easy!
1) Browse the site for a box of gently-worn clothes to fit your needs. You can browse boxes by size, color, brand and style.
2) Pick a full box and pay only $5+shipping.
3) List a box of clothes your child no longer wears.
3) When another member selects your box, send it free of charge. thredUP even schedules home pick-up!
Win It
One lucky reader will win one free year of Pro membership to thredUp, valued at $29.99. A PRO member has access to exclusive features on thredUP, including more detailed box listings (including brands, types of items, notes, etc.). PRO members can also get personalized recommendations and opportunities for special promotions and deals. View a complete breakdown of the differences between a Basic and a PRO Membership here.
To win, you must visit thredUp and tell me why you’re interested in the program.

I am interested in ThredUp to save money on our kids clothes as well as recycling the clothes that our children no longer wear. This is an AWESOME idea and a fantastic way to unload and reload on kids clothing.
I would love to win this. I just joined and I know thredUp pro would be great!

I just tried thred up this month and it is great! I love being able to swap clothes so easily without having to trudge through the bargain racks at multiple stores.
I love love this site. It’s just awesome! What a great way to get the things your kids need now and be able to find new homes for what they no longer use. Plus, you save a ton of time and gas. Keep up the good work, thredUP!

Love the ThredUP idea. My 9 month old is constantly growing out of her clothes. This is a great way to save money while buying bigger size clothes to keep up with my growing baby!
Thanks,
Bobbie
I love thredup! It’s a great concept & site. $5 + shipping for a great box of clothes for your growing LO? Who doesn’t like that?
I love ThredUP because I use it already. I’d love to win a year of Pro Membership so I can continue to use it in the future.
I follow Thredup on Facebook.
I think that ThredUP is an interesting idea. I love that you get a whole batch of clothes in a size/season. Even if I don’t win the Pro Membership, I think that I will be trying it out.
Thanks!
