4. CONSIGNING AND RENTING: Can’t borrow from friends? Turn to the pros
If you’re still sticking up your nose at consigned (a.k.a. used) items, it’s time to get over it. Consignment is a totally respectable way to score name-brand clothing, accessories, and even home furnishings at a fraction of original retail prices.
Do a little due diligence to find a consignment shop in your area that had good online reviews that mention high-end items. Then get ready to, in the words of Macklemore, pop some tags.
Don’t feel like leaving your couch? Try an online consignment shop known for name-brand items.
If you only need a hot item for one big event, consider renting to save even more money. Some sites and stores provide pricey items for a limited amount of time. For example, a Robert Rodriguez dress that retails for $600 rents for $35. Score!
