It's no secret that shopping is more expensive on "this side of the bridge". Milk, gas, clothes...you name it, we pay more. Not to mention, our options are limited to the Cape Cod Mall, a handful of chain stores and discount stores. And forget about shoe shopping! There's not one decent kids shoe store on Cape now that Stride Rite is gone I don't know about you, but I don't always have good luck at Payless, and the local Marshalls and T J Maxx have a very limited supply of kids shoes (or clothing for that matter). So what's family to do when the kids keep growing and the wallet seems to be shrinking by the minute? Off Cape, generally, is the best option, or to one of the many thrift stores . This part of the page is devoted to just that: second hand shops. I'll be updating as suggestions come in.

Off Cape
Savers in Plymouth is one of my favorites www.savers.com/. I recently visited in search of 80's style fashion for my thirtieth (gulp) reunion and scored big on a blazer only prince would wear. What I didn't expect was how much fun my kids would have scouring the aisles in search of outfits, books and toys. I walked out of there having spent just $35 on several skirts (for me), the tacky blazer and a handful of things for the kids.
Salvation Army--various locations. My favorite is in Bridgewater. www.facebook.com/bridgewaterfamilystore/
