Do you guys shop yardsales and consignment sales? Especially now that I have a little one I have discovered that they are a really great way to save money on her clothes and toys and lots of times you get really great stuff!
My sister was the yard/garage sale queen. She loved going from place to place on the weekends and always managed to find some great things. Who can beat $5 for a pair of kids Levi's jeans.
I shop at yard sales, discount malls, and any place where I can get really great bargains. I buy my clothing at them mainly, but look around for other bargains, too.
Does anyone shop at the flea market types of malls? Sometimes, you can find some really good deals at them.
The wife and I will go yard saleing once in a while. We used to go more, but have not been lately. Flea markets and Goodwill shops we also go to once in a while. We really have not done much shopping other then things like grocery though.
Who doesn't have to save money in this day and age. I would rather have two pair of pants for $10 than pay $20 for one pair. I usually don't buy anything from stores anymore except for groceries. If they have a deep discount I consider it but it has to be a super deal.
I went to a kids shop called Once Upon A Child and sold my kids clothes. They also take gently used toys! I would rather make money off the clothes and toys they don't play with or give them to charity rather than throw them away. I've never bought them clothes at a garage sale though.
You really have to be careful that things aren't full of "bugs". With the lice and bed bug resurgence we always wash everything in extremely warm water and dry it before we even try it on. I hate to think of those "ickies" getting in my house.

My wife washes any clothes several times usually when we get something. She washes down everything else with warm soapy water.
We'll keep buying our daughter discounted, but nice, clothes until she stops growing so fast. We can't afford brand new name brand clothes every month or two.
I try to stop into the Salvation Army and Goodwill at least once a week to see if anything new comes in. I get quite a bit of free clothing for my family from my church clothing closet.
