I shop on clearance and stock up for next year. Buy super cheap basics and combine them with nice sweaters or shoes.
Nikki
I shop the clearance racks! These stores have great discounts.

I let them continue to wear any summer clothing that hasn’t been stained or torn until the weather mandates a change. We only by basics at the beginning of the school year (undies, socks, maybe a pair of shorts if they’re low). Typically, their summer items last until the beginning of October with maybe just a hoodie or two thrown into the mix for the cooler mornings.
Same goes for Fall/Winter. We supplement what they already have instead of buying into the “replace everything just because” ideal.

I don’t use fabric softener and dry clothes using the delicate cycle only …this extends the life of fabrics.

My best scret is to shop out of season for my child’s clothes and shop off the clearance rack.
Also to read this blog, I’ve saved soooooo much money since finding it, honestly!
Barbara P
I shop between Monday and Wednesday, start with clearance then work my way to the higher prices if its worth buying.

The best way we stretch our wardrobe is hand me downs and yard sales.

We’d love some free clothes!
Holly
I shop armed with coupons and only buy what’s on sale. I also head to consignment shops to buy gently “used” clothing (sometimes I cannot tell that it HAS been used!)

I layer plain termal shirts under short sleeved shirts for fall and winter.

I love leggings under shorter summer skirts.

I think a lot of people do this, but I buy a lot of clothes at the end of season in a size or two larger to be used in the next year. That way, I get them on clearance. It is a bit risky as far as sizing goes because my sons grow like crazy, but i have two that are 14 months apart so I know someone will fit it eventually!!
