Whether you’ve gotten onto the second-hand train already and buy all your clothes from charity shops, or if you’re totally weirded out from the whole thing, you should still definitely consider filling your kitchen with second-hand kitchen. Buying second hand is good for you, your wallet, and the environment, so there’s really no reason not to do it. Even if you’re a little grossed out by it, you can always wash and sanitize things, which is easy and quick to do if you’re concerned.
Saving Money
Buying all new kitchen tools is a really expensive way to fill your kitchen with happiness. While some items like high-end Dutch ovens or stand mixers can cost several hundred dollars, buying them new you’ll be sure to be getting a hefty discount. Also, things like cast iron and Dutch oven last a lifetime or beyond, so you don’t have to worry about spending money on something that won’t last.
Sustainable
When you buy second-hand, you are stopping the process of creating so much waste, both physical and chemical. Because the item is already produced, you don’t need to go through packaging, and since it’s probably close to you, you cut down on carbon emissions from transportation.
