Money Saving Tips for Kids Clothing


Keeping our children clothed can be quite a task when they grow so fast.

Not only is it hard to do, but it can be expensive too!

Below you’ll find a number of money saving tips for kids’ clothing that should help you keep your children clothed in an affordable manner.

Yard Sales

Yard sales occur around the country year around and many of these yard sales have a variety of children’s clothing for sale.

If you are searching for a particular type of clothing for your child, it will help to make a list before you go yard shopping.

Browse the newspaper and target only the yard sales that have the items you’re looking for listed.

Even if you aren’t a fan of buying clothes at yard sales, these are truly the best places to purchase “play clothes” for the kids.

Consignment Sales/Stores

More than likely your community has a consignment store or an annual consignment sale.

These are excellent places to find gently used to brand new articles of clothing (as well as other items) for a relatively low price!

Purchase Big

It doesn’t matter if you’re shopping at a yard sale, consignment store or at your favorite department store…look for out-of-season clothing that is on sale and purchase the clothing in sizes larger than what your child wears now.

If you plan ahead and think about what sizes your children will wear next season, then you can save a bundle as your kids will grow into the clothes!

If for some reason, you’re off a little and your child doesn’t grow into it in time, you can always resell it at a garage sale or even on eBay.

Store Charge Cards

Take advantage of the special offers stores offer for opening up a store charge card, especially if you shop at the store often.

In addition to the initial savings you receive when you open an account, you’ll also continue to receive special discounts and coupons in the future too.

Repair Clothes

If you have a sewing machine and decent sewing skills, then take the time to mend damaged clothing.

There are many decorative patches that can be used to mend jeans and/or shirts with holes in them and if the stitching tears, that’s an easy fix too.

You’ll save money on clothes if you take the time to properly mend the ones your kids currently have.

Make the Clothes

If you are pretty good with a sewing machine, then why not make some of your children’s clothing yourself?

You don’t have to make everything, but if you just make their play clothes for around the house, that alone will save you a lot of money!

You are a life Saver!!

I recently discovered this site and I can tell you that my life has not been the same. I now come here EVERYDAY and spend at least 1 hour.

I used to spend that time browsing online fashion and beauty magazine which just means that I spend more. Now I have replaced that habit with coming here.

In future I will think about contributing articles as well. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! and God bless"
