Full price for a thredUP box is $15.99. With this deal, you'll have a box that you are able to pick out based on your needs for only $11.19.

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!

2 ThredUp Boxes for Only $6!

I just found out about an even better deal on thredUp boxes from Savemore.


The price of 2 boxes is $16, which is a good deal. But if you are a new customer to Savemore and sign up through this link, you will earn $10 off your first purchase, making the deal only $6 (with free shipping!!)for 2 boxes of kids' clothes, toys, or books.  I definitely consider that a rock-bottom price, since all the thredUp boxes I have received have had at least 8 items in them.


This offer expires July 23, and you may only buy 1 for yourself and 2 as gifts.

$16 for Two Boxes at ThredUp!

This is a really good deal. . . I'm debating whether or not to go for it because I want to start stocking up on fall clothes. Today on Eversave, you can get TWO boxes of gently used children's clothes, books, or toys from thredUP for only $16, plus FREE shipping.


As a sweet bonus, you can get this deal  for $14 for two boxes if you use the code SAVVY at checkout. Also, if you are a brand new customer to Eversave, you will get $2 off your first save, making your total only $12 for two boxes.  That is an insanely good deal.


If you're not familiar with how thredUp works, go here for more information. Basically it is a trading site where you can choose boxes of gently used children's items other people have listed in exchange for listing your own boxes. It costs nothing to send a box, and $5 plus $10.95 shipping to receive a box.  This Eversave deal is really a steal, since you are getting 2 boxes for less than the price of 1!

$5 at thredUP

thredUp is running a great new promotion: earn $5 when you post and send a box that is rated 3 or 4 stars (which is completely free to do).  Also, if you post and send 5 boxes, you'll earn $50.  If you are new to thredUp, click here for more information.

If you've been thinking about trying out thredUp, this is a great way to get your feet wet.

If you haven't heard of thredUp, it's a new site where members can swap boxes of outgrown children's clothes and toys with each other. It costs nothing to list and send a box. If you choose to pick a box, you pay only $5 plus $10.95  for shipping.

I have made two swaps on thredUP, with mixed success. The first swap was amazing -- the box came with a brand new pair of never worn Stride Rite patent leather mary janes in my daughter's size, among other cute things. The second box wasn't as great -- a couple shirts had light staining, but there were several usable and cute items as well.  The most important thing is to read the description carefully, and if you have a question, you can message the sender.
