    I always buy clothes at the end of the season for the following year. Summer clearance items are good for the first couple months of school. I am a TJ Maxx addict, so I hope I win!

    I find a store with the best deals and get as many items as I can for a low price, and use coupons to go with it.

    Right now t-shirts are on sale. So I buy the next size up that my daughter is currently wearing. So that it is a little loose over a long sleeve shirt with jeans or pants for that layered look in the fall. By spring, she fits in the t-shirt. Buying the t-shirts when they are cheap and you are able to use them all year long. You can also do this with a spagetti strap sleeveless shirt over a long sleeve shirt with leggings.

    I shop the clearance racks and take advantage of the tax free shopping weekend. I’m also lucky that I can move my older daughter’s clothes directly into my younger daughter’s drawer so we get 2 years of wear on most things.

    I layer long sleeve shirts under t-shirts and I shop the clearance rack after each season is over.

    I shop clearance racks all year long and I never buy anything that isn’t usually at least 75% off. It is possible to dress great for not much.

  16. Mendy

    i usually shop at outlet stores when they have good sales then use coupons and shop the clearance: I can usually find enough clothes for my son’s next size for under $100 (he’s still in 0-3 month clothes and he’s seven months)

    How I stretch wardrobes? I have 2 daughters and the younger one is still young enough to enjoy getting her sister’s hand me downs :-)

    We also do a lot of layering … short sleeved shirts over long sleeved shirts… capri’s under skirts…. capri’s under shorts…

    My family had 3 girls, so everything got handed down; and my mom shopped at garage sales. For my kids, I GLADLY accept any hand-me-downs from friends and family. Thanks!

  23. Jennifer

    I get out of bed early, early, early on Saturday mornings and truck it to the garage sales and then go to the consignment shops to get clothes for both my firls who are constantly growing!

  27. Allison

    I stretch my clothes money buy shopping a lot of yard sales and I consign all of my kids clothes that don’t fit and use that money to buy the clothes that they need for the next season.

    My daughter is very tall & thin so we always take her jeans that are too short, cut them off & hem them to make capris or shorts. And we always shop the clearance rack or resale shops.
