New to You has been a part of my childhood since the beginning. I cannot remember a time when it was not part of our shopping route. When my sisters and I were in need of new shirts, pants, or dresses New to You was our first stop. Now that I am a mom of four little ones New to You has become my first stop in dressing my kiddos!
I have bought clothing and shoes there for our whole family. We have also found other great treasures such as books, games, life jackets, dishes, movies, jewelry, and purses from New to You. My moms latest treasure was an ironing board she found for half price! They have of the items have all been clean, well made, and have had a lot of life left in them.
New to You is a family owned and operated business by mother and daughter team, Laurie Boyer and Amber Lopez.
They are fabulous at running their business!
They have regular 1/2 price tags and frequently have special Facebook sales. To keeping up with the changing seasons they frequently rotate the items they have in stock. There have been days I haven’t found anything but, I’ll go back the next week and I hit a jackpot of great items at great prices!
Thrift stores are an amazing way for me to pinch our precious pennies. They offer cute and affordable clothes that allow my girls eyes to sparkle because feel beautiful. My boys walk around in confidence in their camo print clothing and handsome church clothes.
