In order to do so, ditch your normal plastics cups and go for second-hand or vintage cups instead! Whether you’re having a regular party, dinner party or cocktail party, vintage cups are the way to go.

Not only is plastic bad for the environment, but it also doesn’t look very nice or chic. Instead, go to your local second-hand shop or charity shop and pick up a bunch of glasses there!

Usually, you can get glasses and mugs for sometimes as little as 25 cents each, so you can buy a ton and still not spend a lot of money. Plus, getting a bunch of mismatched cups will look super cool and unique.

If you love plastic for the convenience of not having to mash up more plates and things after a party, there’s an easy solution for you. At the end of the party, you can tell your guests that they’re free to take home to cups as a reminder of the great time they had! That way they get to keep something special and you aren’t stuck with a million cups that you have to wash and dry.

But if you are in the market for new kitchen gear, look to second-hand places first.

Where to Find Them

There are so many places to find amazing quality and brand-name kitchen tools and other gadgets. You can look at online market places, or go to garage sales, even charity shops.

The most important thing to look for if you’re buying an electric appliance is to plug it in, even if it’s at a store, and make sure it works. But if it does, go for it!

Cost

Obviously, when you’re buying something used like this you’re going to pay a fraction of the original cost. Somethings like Dutch ovens can cost you well over $200, if not more, so you’re always going to get a great deal by buying second hand.

Eco-Friendly

Buying second hand is almost always the eco-friendly way to go, and for the purpose of kitchen gadgets, it definitely is. When you buy something that already exists, you’re eliminating the transport, packaging, and more waste and pollution that comes with it.

Estate sales are usually a sign that someone has passed away, and the family or other party has decided to sell everything inside the house. So if you ever stumble upon one, you shouldn’t miss out on this opportunity.

Because the majority of estate sales are held in the homes of people that are older, it means that you have a really high chance of finding some excellent antiques and other valuable pieces.

The best thing to do is familiarize yourself with certain styles of company’s like Wedgwood and look underneath items to see if they have stamps that mark them as China or have the label of the company.

The other great thing about an estate sale is that usually lasts longer than a garage sale, and it’s also mostly inside a home which makes the perusing a lot more comfortable, especially in summer.

Also, since everything, including furniture, is where it’s meant to be, you can get a much better idea of how everything will look in your own home.
