Yard sales can also be a great resource for cheap kids' clothing, although it does take a bit of legwork.
Normally the clothes here are sold in lots by size. You can get an entire wardrobe for just $10 if you shop
right. To find yard sales in your area, check the local paper and plan ahead. Look for these yard sales that have
specifically advertised having children's used
shoes. Wake up early on Saturday morning, put on your walking shoes and plan your route. Arrive early
for the best selection, or wait until later in the day to get the best prices.
You can also save money on new clothes at specialty stores and department stores by buying wisely. Each time you
shop for new clothes, think about how well the clothes will "grow with" your kids. Look for clothes with a little
bit of extra growing room. For example, buy boys' pants that can be hemmed up and then let down as your son
grows. Search for smock type dresses for your daughter that can later be worn over pants. You'll be able to save
money by making the clothing last longer.
Finally, ask friends or family members with older children to start passing down clothes that their children have
outgrown. A lot of hand-me-downs have very little wear or tear and are completely usable. Return the favor by
passing on clothing to someone you know who has kids younger than yours.
