I snagged some Abercrombie, Mini Boden, Gap, and more at Schoola!

The other day, I got an email about a site called Schoola. I’d never heard of it before, but I discovered it’s a website that sells donated gently used clothing to help support schools.

(Members of the school donate clothes, and a portion of the proceeds goes back to that school.)

I’m a pretty large fan of gently used kids’ clothes, and despite the fact that I’m a homeschooler, I am always happy for schools to get more funding.   So I took a peek around.

(This post is not sponsored by Schoola, just so ya know! They did email to let me know about the site, but I shopped with my own money.)

How’s the shopping experience?

Schoola has an incredibly large inventory, and each piece is photographed and listed individually.

So it’s kind of like browsing at a yard sale or a thrift store, except that it’s all neatly organized.

(Seriously love this dress.)

Since there is so much inventory, I found it to be really helpful to narrow my search results.

(I didn’t want to go through 50 pages of girls’ shirts!)

You can easily view only boy’s clothes or only girl’s clothes, and you can also sort by size and/or by the type of apparel (shirts, mittens, shoes, dresses, etc.)

Also, if you know a particular brand works for your kids, you’ll be pleased to know that you can narrow your search results to only the brands you prefer.

Something super helpful for me was the “Items We Love” section, which is basically a curated group of the best of the best.

That’s how I found that cute gray Abercrombie cardigan for Sonia, actually.

And as you can see in the screen shot above, they also have a section of new with tags items (which was loaded with some pretty lovely holiday stuff when I took a peek this morning!)   Of course, the prices of the new stuff are higher, but still lower than retail.

Pricing

The prices on Schoola are generally a little higher than the prices I find at Goodwill.   I’d say it’s more like shopping the clearance sales at Kohl’s or Old Navy, but you have a much larger selection of brands.

Here’s what I bought):

That works out to $5.42 per piece, which is pretty darn reasonable, especially considering that a portion of what I paid goes to help schools!

So, Schoola is definitely going to find a spot in my clothe-kids-on-the-cheap toolbox, along with clearance shopping and thrifting.

My total before discounts was $50, which got me free shipping, plus I used a 25% off code.

Speaking of which…
