National Secondhand Wardrobe Day encourages you to score some deals on August 25 and continue to visit consignment and other secondhand shops throughout the year. They're a great way to clean out your closets and trade in your unwanted items as well as shop for ones that are new to you. You'll be saving money as well as being environmentally friendly. In addition to consignment clothing stores, you'll also find shops that sell furniture and home décor on consignment, making it easy to furnish your home as well as your wardrobe for a fraction of the price you'd pay for new items.

Our REALTORS® suggest heading out to one or more of the following consignment shops:

• This Old Couch – 3930 Dayton Xenia Rd., Beavercreek OH 45432
