This figure climbs significantly among younger parents, 24 percent of those aged 16–24 report always shopping for pre-loved items, compared to just 14 percent of older parents (aged 35-44). (Image: Post Office) This circular approach isn’t just about decluttering. Parents are saving an average of £269 per year, and earning back £195 annually by selling clothes online and other items, as estimated by Post Office. Apps like Vinted (52 percent) and charity shops (46 percent) are leading the charge as go-to destinations for savvy parents looking to buy and sell second-hand items. At Post Office, we want to make it as easy as possible for parents to take part in the circular economy.
