With growing kids, you go through clothes fast!! Especially when they are babies, you are missing out if you never shop consignment sales. Because babies grow so fast, some clothes are never worn or worn only once, and are in consignment stores and sales at low prices.
You can also sell your children’s clothing, if they are still in very good condition (click here for good clothes to sell), and make money to go back into the clothing fund, or for whatever you want to spend it on. Each store and sale has its own rules, and you have to decide how much time and effort you want to spend tagging and pricing items. When you go through a sale, more effort is involved but you make a little more and the sale’s profit usually goes towards a charity or good organization. When you go to a consignment store, you make a little less, but they do all the work for you and your items are on the racks for a longer period of time. I’ve done both, and now I go to the store and simply drop off items to sell in season. You can also simply donate your outgrown clothes, which we also do.
For a list of sales, this is a wonderful site.
