Stretch Your Back-to-School Bucks at Plato's Closet

With one month until the opening of another school year, back-to-school shopping is in full swing. 

, a Springfield consignment shop, makes it easier for shoppers on a budget to wear name brand clothes without spending a fortune. They have a large selection of trendy, gently worn clothing sold at prices lower than their new counterparts. Plus, you can even trade old clothes for "new" clothes or cash.

What Are Shoppers Saying?

"I've been here a few times. I love it because I find cute Free People stuff and other brands I couldn't normally afford," Elizabeth W. told Patch.

"The store is very full so you have to dig, but it's a fun thing to do with friends," said Lindsay. "I like how they sort things by color."

"I really like shopping here. I've saved a pretty penny and have come away with good condition items that would have cost five times as much had I bought them new in the mall," said Tory of Havertown on Yelp.
