A large portion of products we buy in second hand stores are children's toys and clothing. The prices of new toys are insane, we leave a second hand store about once a month with a large bag of stuffed toys, board games, worn in shoes, skates etc. for the cost of a single new item. Kids don't care at all and mine refuses to wear new shoes even.

That's how we got reintroduced to thrifting/preowned shopping/whatever you want to call it: we had a kid. It wasn't even so much a financial thing as it was this sense that otherwise there would be so much waste (the financial aspect is nice though too). So many clothes and toys that are just fine but they grow out of them. After that we started looking into stuff for ourselves.
