5. Get Thrifty

It's time to spice up that spring/summer wardrobe, but before you go blowing your hard earned cash, check out some local thrift stores! Remember, shopping second-hand is also a great way to reduce your carbon footprint.

Shop second-hand at: Mantiques, Stuff, Value Village, Re-Source, Salvation Army, Mission Thrift Store and more!
