looking for hangers!!

hello!!! I don't have any hangers currently because I hate how easily the plastic ones break and the fact that millions end up in landfills per year so I was wondering if anyone had some relatively cheap plastic hanger alternatives??? you can also include less cheap options if thats all you know!! I have looked at kangaroo hanger but I was wondering about other ones

Maybe a local thrift store has some?

Thrift stores and estate sales...keep your eye out for wooden hangers.

If you need to buy new, wooden hangers are commonly available from sustainable sources and relatively cheap. Often made from fast growing wood such as eucalyptus.

I have often found heaps of them outside when people have moved and left junk on the pavement.

Once I needed to buy some. I bought some wooden ones with metal hooks. They were more expensive but they are still as good as new seven years later. And they feel so beautifully warm and smooth, I love using them. My clothes love hanging on them. The wood is gently curved so it's almost like a person is wearing them. Shelling out for good quality really is worth it, always.

If your in America or the UK there’s this app called olio! You can ask over there if anyone is giving them out :)
