Saving Money on Sporting Goods

Now that school is back in session, fall sporting season is starting up. If you are a parent with an athletic kid, you are inevitably faced with buying expensive sporting gear. One way to save money on sporting equipment is to buy used. Alex starts skating lessons in a couple of weeks. Since this will be his first time on skates and his feet are growing at an alarmingly quick rate, we didn't want to shell out a lot of money for brand new skates. We visited Play is Again Sports. We found a great pair of skates for him in excellent condition for $25. We also got him a helmet. We bought the helmet new.  We didn't want to risk buying a used helmet that may have been damaged and not as effective. Some things are worth splurging on like a helmet that prevents brain damage. If you are in need of sporting equipment, consider buying used for any items in good quality that don't jeopardize safety.
