Clothing
Buy children's clothes at yard sales or resale shops. Every time you think about spending a large amount on clothing, imagine that same article covered in chocolate syrup or spit-up. It helps to place a true value on the clothing.

 

Sears will replace jeans with exact same size and brand if the knees wear out if you are a member of their kids club.  To join their kids club, all I needed to do was give them my phone number and they track how much I spend on kids clothes.  When you spend $100 (I think) they give you a discount on your next purchase. -- Debbie from NC

 

Shop for baby clothes and items at a second-hand store.  Clothing is expensive, and babies grow so fast that they don't wear out their clothes, just outgrow them.  You can have a weeks' worth of outfits from a second-hand store for about the cost of two retail-priced new outfits from a department store.  -- Susabelle from MO

 

Blanket sleepers are so expensive. Buy them when they are half price, in most places this is January. Make sure you buy ones that are a couple of sizes too big and without the feet. Then you can roll up the sleeves and the legs and your child can wear them for a long time without wearing them out. -- Brenda from OH

 

I love the sales at BabyGap.   I have saved hundreds of dollars and my daughter is only 21 months old.  I only buy what is on sale.  I can get two or three outfits for the price of one reg. priced.  I also shop at BabyGap.com even with shipping, you save a lot.  I really love their clothes and they hold up well with the little ones.  I have saved every piece of clothing from BG in the event I have another little girl.  I also bought some clothes that would work either way so that if I have a boy next time he can wear some of them. -- Angela from MI

 

One of the best money savers I invested in for my baby was inexpensive washcloths.  I bought about 3 or 4 dozen white, and 3 or 4 dozen white with stripes.  The white ones we used as baby wipes.  We used cloth diapers, so we just tossed them in the diaper pail with the diapers.  The striped ones we used at mealtime for face wipes.  My son is now 5 and we're still using the face wipes. -- Cheryll from OH

I always keep a plastic dish pan with water and a bit of All brand baby detergent by the washing machine. Just toss those baby stained clothes in to soak before washing. They should soak at least 1 hour and all the stains come right out. Just be sure NOT to mix light and dark colors in the pan because the colors may bleed. -- Halle from MN

My 12 month old daughter was growing out of the one-piece outfits very quickly so I ordered "False Bottoms" clothing extenders from www.onestepahead.com (they also have a catalog). They have snaps on both ends that fit most of the "onesie" type bodysuits brands (carters, gerber,etc) and are about 3" long and stretchy. Now, snapping the bodysuits is much easier and she has more room, and will get more wear out of the clothes. It is not noticeable until you take her pants off. They are $9.95 for a pack of six of various sizes, with shipping, it cost me $16.00, but it is well worth the price. -- Cathy, 36, from CT

I also received tons of newborn outfits at my shower ..I returned all but 3 of them and invested in 2 packs of onesies!!!  I had the rest put on gift cards and store credit to be used to purchase things as we needed them   It was awesome because she was long wasted and had to have two piece outfits and couldn't wear anything that was all one piece! -- Michelle from TX

 

GARAGE SALES are a must!!!  Most of my daughter's clothes for next summer have been purchased at garage sales.  And because those infant clothes are only worn so little and there is little or no "wear and tear" on them, you can get some beautiful, quality, name-brand clothes for a steal!  I swear by garage sales for clothing for that first year of life!!! -- Jaime from WI

 

We shop at a few of the pricey stores for the kids clothes since they have policies that if they wear the items out before they grow out of that size they replace it free!!  Great for active kids.  -- Crystal from DE
