Cheap can be expensive.

1.Shoes
Shoes usually adapt to the shape of someone’s foot which will make it difficult to find a perfect fit with second hand shoes.
Also, they aren’t durable and you will end up having to buy new shoes within a short period of time.
2.Underwear and swim suits
Any item that touched someone else’s nether regions should be avoided at all costs. You’re better off splurging on a good pair of underwear and swimming costume than risking an infection by buying them second hand.
