Kijiji: How I’ll be saving BIG this Christmas.

by My Closet Journey

 

When I think Christmas I generally cringe. Yes, you read that right. Not because I don’t love Christmas or Christmas movies, I basically LIVE for that stuff but because of how costly it can be. 

 

Every year my list of who I have to buy gifts for seems to get bigger and bigger and it becomes such a costly endeavor. This year I’m committed to making Christmas a huge success WITHOUT breaking the bank, and to do this I’ll be selling and buying things using Kijiji.

Kijiji is a site for all things second-hand  and new – from smalltrinkets to rental home vacation places. It’s basically a one stop shop to findevery single thing you can possibly think of. Need a vintage lunchbox for the collector in yourfamily? They’ve got it. Need a Gucci belt for the fashionista in your life? They’ve got it– and at afraction of the price. Need a PS4 for your tech loving son? You guessed it, they have that too.Not only is Kijiji a more cost-effective way to shop but you can also put moneyback in your pocket while doing it too by selling your own stuff!

As a blogger I’m constantly receiving clothing, gifts and goodies as well as buying my own pieces, with an ever-growingpile of stuff I’m consistently looking for the best way to purge my closet while still getting moneyback & keeping my closet RELATIVELY sustainable (the fashion industry isone of the BIGGEST contributors to waste but is also a top buying/sellingcategory on Kijiji). In fact, according to the Second-HandEconomy Index (a study by Kijiji) found that those who sold items in the second-hand market EARNED $1,134 last year.

Kijiji has been my go-to for quite a few years now, it’s convenient (they even have a mobile app), you can easily get in touch with seller or buyers, it’s local, it puts money back in my pocket and previously loved pieces in someone else’s hands. As if that wasn’t enough, if you ever have any issues Kijiji’s customer service is absolutely FAB. 

Let me know in the comments below what’s yourfavourite way to SAVE during the ChristmasSeason, have you ever used Kijiji?

Life is like a box of donuts.

“Life is like a box of donuts.”

Forest gump obviously said it better with iconic line, “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.” But I am sadly not Forest Gump, so it looks like you’ll have to settle for donuts.

I guess by now you’ll notice that My Closet Journey not only has a new look but a new feel to it, (at least I hope). This was a decision that happened in the moment, it was completely impulsive and totally necessary. Kind of like this box of donuts.
