Money Saving Tips For Buying Kids Clothing

If you’re a new parent, or having your second or third baby, one expense you never really think about in the beginning is clothing.  You want the best for your kids and there is absolutely no reason why your kids shouldn’t have it.  The trick is to be a smart shopper and find tricks to buying great clothes without breaking the bank.  Here are a few recommendations that you can use to make sure that your kids have the best clothing without having to break your bank. 

1. Unisex colors.  Because babies and toddlers grow extremely fast, you can buy them a few outfits and they are too small within months.  What I recommend here is to buy the baby and toddler clothing in yellows, greens and other unisex colors and styles so that you can not only reuse them when you have your next baby, but you can also help to move them faster with our next tip.

2. Sell them.  Not your kids of course, but the clothes they have just grown out of.  You can use popular online sites or you can try going to a used baby clothing or thrift store where they pay a good amount for quality clothing.  Not only does this help reduce the clutter in your house, but it helps you get money back so that you can get ready to buy new baby and toddler clothing. 

3. Buy mix and match clothing.  This is especially important with favorite pairs of kids pajamas.   Look at these Kids Scooby Doo pajamas for example.  Not only can you mix and match at least three of the 5 brown pairs together, but if one of the pieces gets damaged or ruined, your child won’t be upset since they still have the rest of the set that they love.  If you only buy single pieces or single outfits that cannot intermix with each other, when one piece is ruined, both parts are gone.  

4. Check the clearance section first.  Because your kids are growing fast, wait until they are older to buy the designer clothing.  Start in the clearance section because you can not only find some of the designer clothes, but you will also be able to find some amazing deals. 

5. Always look for coupons.  You don’t have to grab a newspaper or be signed up for an email blast either to get great coupons for stores.  Here are a few ways you can find coupons to use in a store or when you are shopping online.  Check some of the major coupon sites like Clever Moms.com.  Go to loyalty and review sites like SunshineRewards.com where you can earn cash back and have a coupon.  One final thing to do is to go to the store’s website and see if they have a coupon or upcoming sale section.  If they do then you can wait until the products go on sale, then find a coupon and save even more. 

Every parent wants the best of everything for their kids.  Clothing can end up being much more expensive than you had thought which is why it is important to be a smart shopper, especially when your kids are young.  By buying interchangeable pajamas for kids ,choosing colors that can be for both boys and girls and also looking for coupons or sales, you don’t have to break the bank to keep your kids in fashion when they are growing up.
