Thrift Store Find of the Month - August 2010

My 4th post of the day. My site visits are up and I see I have 5 new followers, so this blogger challenge has turned out to be excellent exposure so far..

To my new followers, I like to post my top earning Thrift Store Find for each month. I know I should have posted this at the beginning of September, but here it is a couple of weeks late. For all my top monthly Thrift Store Finds click here.

Paige Premium Maternity Jeans
Sold for $56.00


August was probably my slowest Thrifting Month of the year. I spent a lot of time concentrating on my consignment business. http://www.asapsellsit.com/.


But I still found this great pair of maternity jeans for $4.99. Check out my post on designer maternity jeans for helpful hints on finding maternity jeans at thrift stores. Look for the same brands that bring in top dollar as regular high-end jeans. True Religion, Paige, Rock & Republic, etc. Avoid common labels like Motherhood Maternity, H&M Mama, Gap.


Good Luck

'A Pea in the Pod' Maternity Jeans

I was unaware of this until recently, so I know I have passed up on a few pairs in the past.

A Pea in the Pod Maternity Jeans.

I thought they only sold there own brand, but turns out they also sell all the high end brands (True Religion, 7 for all Mankind, etc.) and the top inside tag inside still will be A Pea in the Pod tag. Here is an example of the tag you will see.Here are a pair of 7 for all Mankind maternity jeans that I recently found from 'A Pea in the Pod'

So next time when you come across a pair of these jeans do some more searching. Look at the back pocket, or a deeper inside tag or the buttons to find out the exact brand. Even if they are A Pea in the Pod's own brand they still might be worth it.

The most common pair of maternity jeans that you will come across are Mimi Maternity, not worth the purchase to resell on eBay.

Good Luck
