It seems that being a Second Hand Rose is no longer the stigma it once was.<\/p>\n

More and more penny pinched parents are having to rely on charity shops to kit out their kids.<\/p>\n

According to a Parent Poll conducted by VoucherCodes.co.uk, 26 per cent of parents are turning to charity shops for family needs, up a staggering 50 per cent on five years ago.<\/p>\n

In fact, 18 per cent even admitted to buying birthday presents for other people’s children from second hand stores to help cut costs.<\/p>\n

Co-founder of VoucherCodes.co.uk, Duncan Jennings says:\u00a0\u201cOur research shows that any perceived stigma around thrifty shopping is disappearing as parents are forced to find affordable clothes and toys for their children during this difficult economic period.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe increased reliance on charity shops coupled with the growing popularity of online deals and high street discounts, means that by making just a few small changes to the way they shop, parents can really cut back on what they spend without cutting back on what they give.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
