Uptown Cheapskate Lululemon Finds 🍋

2025/7/7 Edited to

... Read moreFinding high-quality athletic wear like Lululemon at a fraction of the cost is one of my ultimate thrifting joys! It’s like hitting a fashion jackpot when you stumble upon those iconic pieces that feel practically new, but come with a thrift store price tag. If you're anything like me, you love the quality and style of Lululemon but maybe not always the price. That's exactly why places like Uptown Cheapskate have become my secret weapon for building out my activewear collection. Why bother thrifting Lululemon, you ask? Beyond the obvious cost savings, it’s also a fantastic way to shop more sustainably. Instead of contributing to fast fashion, you’re giving beautiful, well-made clothing a second life. And let's be real, Lululemon gear is built to last, so even pre-owned items often have plenty of life left in them. I've found everything from barely-worn Align leggings to still-perfect Hotty Hot shorts and even stylish long-sleeve tops that look brand new. So, how do you find the best Lululemon items at places like Uptown Cheapskate or Plato's Closet? It’s all about strategy! Here are my personal tips for a successful Lululemon treasure hunt: Visit Frequently: Consignment stores get new inventory daily. The more often you stop by, the higher your chances of catching a fresh drop of Lululemon before someone else does. I try to pop in once a week if I can. Know Your Fabrics & Styles: Familiarize yourself with Lululemon's popular fabrics like Luon, Nulu (for that buttery soft feel), and Nulux. Knowing what different items should feel like will help you quickly identify authentic pieces and assess their condition. Look for signature styles like their high-waisted athletic leggings, classic sports bras, comfy crop tops, and even their versatile define jackets. Inspect Carefully: This is crucial! Always check for signs of wear. Look for pilling, especially in high-friction areas (inner thighs, under arms). Check seams for loose threads or holes. While a small stain might be washable, major discoloration means leaving it behind. And don't forget to check the zippers on jackets or pockets to make sure they're fully functional. Authenticity Check: While most reputable consignment stores do their best to authenticate, it’s good to know some tricks. Look for the Lululemon logo (usually a small omega symbol) and check the rip tag, which often has a size dot with a small code. A quick Google search of that code can sometimes tell you the style and color! Be Open-Minded: Sometimes you go in looking for specific lulu pants and come out with an amazing sports bra or a long-sleeve top you didn't even know you needed. Keep an open mind and browse through all the activewear sections. You might find a gem in an unexpected spot! I’ve scored some incredible deals, like the dark green athletic leggings and the brown crop top mentioned in my haul, for prices that are truly unbeatable. While Uptown Cheapskate is a fantastic spot, you can also explore online resale platforms like Poshmark, ThredUp, or Mercari if you prefer shopping from home. However, there's something uniquely satisfying about the thrill of the hunt in a physical store, where you can touch and feel the fabric before committing. Happy thrifting, fellow Lululemon lovers!
