If you have a Kohl's card you receive discounts at least once a month (at least 15%) and I ONLY shop if I have one of those coupons. Plus the clearance racks are my best friend! .-= Quadmama´s last blog ..<a href="http://buriedinlaundry.blogspot.com/2009/09/im-barbie-girl.html" rel="nofollow">I'm a Barbie Girl</a> =-.

I tend to lean towards more expensive brands (Hanna Andersson, Gymboree, Naartjie, etc...) So I buy stuff on ebay and sell it when the girls outgrow it - sometimes for MORE than I bought it for! Since I am a Gymboree addict I go to their Red Balloon sale that happens 2 times per year. I usually go on a weekday morning when the mall first opens - as close to the beginning of the sale as possible. I tell the person working in the store that I have twins and I'd like to find matching outfits. The girl at my local Gymboree brings out BIG cardboard boxes that are sorted by size and lets me sit on the floor in the back of the store and go through everything. That way I don't have to root through the bins that have been picked through looking for matching outfits (ps...my girls LOVE to dress alike). I also love Kohls and Target for CUTE stuff.

I'm really into this topic too!! :) I have been using Ebay lately for buying AND selling our outgrown nicer stuff. You have to be careful and make sure you know what you're buying, for sure, but I have been happy with a few rather large lots of clothing that I have bought. Also, I have made sure that whatever I make on what I sell goes right back in to kids clothes, so that helps with the budget! I used to do the same with a local consignment twice yearly sale, but the group that does it skipped this fall, so I had to come up with a new solution. This worked well for me. Great post!

I have twin girls to dress and am always looking for bargains. I suppose one money saving clothes thing for us is living in the tropics. Seasonal clothes not needed, or shoes, most of the time- endless summer. I'm bookmarking this though, for when we one day move back to civilization and I'll have to bargain hunt entire 4 season wardrobes.

I'd never thought of that, but will try it next spring and summer. I love the suggestion of using old dresses as shirts and old pants as capris.

My advice, find a mom with a kid about a year ahead of yours in size. This is the second fall I've bought piles of jeans/pants for Danny---plus snowpants & boots--for $2 or $3 each. Both moms were happy! Kid2kid in Natick is supposed to have pretty nice stuff—I haven’t been yet to check it out.

You can't beat 25 cent kids clothes, and I often find Gap, Gymboree, Carter's and other great brands in excellent condition. Even at 3 years old, I still find enough to stock my girls' entire closet for next to nothing! And I don't worry about size. As long as it's 3T or bigger and adorable I buy it. You just have to go regularly because sometimes there is nothing good, and other times I'll hit the jackpot! It totally fills my shopping craving, without emptying my wallet.
