As students prepare to head back to class, refreshing a wardrobe doesn’t have to mean blowing the back-to-school budget. On August 22, Buffalo Exchange is making it easier to shop secondhand with its annual Student Discount Day, when students can take an extra 15 percent off their purchases at all locations.
To receive the discount, students simply need to present a current school ID at checkout. The event will feature an afternoon of raffles, treats, giveaways and other happenings, giving students another reason to make a stop before the semester gets fully underway.
“Heading back to class should be exciting, not a stress on your wallet,” CEO Rebecca Block said. “We know how much a great outfit can boost your confidence and we don’t want a wardrobe refresh to be the thing that breaks the bank. Students are such a huge part of our community, so this discount day is really just a fun way for us to say thank you and help them start the semester feeling their best.”
While Student Discount Day comes around just once a year, Buffalo Exchange offers opportunities to save throughout the semester with its selection of secondhand clothing and accessories. Shoppers can also turn their own closet cleanouts into savings by bringing in preloved pieces to exchange for trade, or store credit, which can then be put toward future purchases.
That can mean more room in the budget for everything from game-day gear and Halloween costumes to internship-ready outfits and everyday wardrobe essentials. Buffalo Exchange has operated as a family-owned business since 1974 and has grown to more than 40 stores across 15 states.
The resale retailer’s business model centers on buying, selling and trading clothing, giving preowned pieces a second life while helping reduce clothing waste and pollution. Learn more at buffaloexchange.com.
