thredUP: Buy 1, Get 1 FREE! (Plus Credit for New Customers!)

**UPDATE**  The website does NOT specify that this deal is only for new customers. I think  they changed it since I first posted this deal. I'm going to give it a try, then, because $15.95 for 2 boxes is a great deal!


Second Update: Apparently we were right the first time -- this is just for new customers. thredUP is blaming Mothering.com for not posting the deal correctly. It's still a good deal if you are a NEW customer!


If you've been wanting to try thredUp, your wait is over!  Today's deal on Mothering.com is for thredUp boxes.


Today through August 16, if you buy one box of gently used kids' clothes, toys, or books, you'll get one absolutely free! Just purchase your one box for $15.95, and a $15.95 credit will appear in your account that you can use for your second box.  What a fun way to frugally make a dent in your back to school shopping!


Just go to Mothering, and click "Buy Now."


Bonus for New Customers: If you sign up through this link, you get an additional $10 credit in your account! That would make today's deal only $5.95 for two boxes. You really can't beat that!!!


From the website: thredUP is designed to help parents easily swap clothes their kids have outgrown for great new items that fit. Parents may exchange with their closest friends or with a national network of parents - all from the convenience of home.


If you're new to thredUP, make sure to read the box descriptions carefully and message the sender if you have any questions. I have gotten some beautiful things through thredUP, as well as a few duds, so it's worth it to take the time to "examine" the box carefully.


Note: this deal is only good for NEW thredUP customers!
