Facebook market place
Facebook Marketplace is chaotic. But it’s also one of the cheapest ways to clothe children — if you know how to use it.
Facebook Marketplace is chaotic. But it’s also one of the cheapest ways to clothe children — if you know how to use it.
The trick is to search locally and think in bulk. Use phrases like:
-
“kids clothes bundle”
-
“boys clothes job lot”
-
“girls clothes bundle”
Parents selling bundles are not trying to make money — they’re trying to get space back. That’s where the deals are.
Message clearly and politely. Ask sizes, condition, and collection details. Keep it simple. Most people just want an easy handover. Supermarket car parks are the unofficial meeting point of tired parents exchanging bags of clothes and silent understanding.
Always inspect items before handing over money. You’re not being awkward — you’re being sensible. And if something isn’t right, it’s okay to walk away.
Set a limit before you go. Marketplace is cheap, but it’s easy to say yes to everything because “it’s only a few quid”. Decide what you’re spending and stick to it.
Marketplace is perfect for:
-
seasonal clothes
-
bulk bundles
-
school uniforms
-
coats and shoes
It’s not about aesthetics. It’s about practicality.
And when used well, it can save hundreds over a year.
