This is a good time to check out the thrift stores; people are cleaning out their closets. We brought a load of outgrown clothes and toys to a local thrift yesterday, and decided to do some shopping as well. I was able to find some light jackets, girl's winter pajamas(for next year), new-with-tags tops(Target and The Children's Place, long sleeved for next year) for my daughter, and a few summer T-shirts and Khaki shorts for my teenage son. I spent about $45.00 for 27 items(20% off with frequent donate card).
Sometimes I find next to nothing at the thrift stores, and other times it seems I've hit the mother load. To be successful, I have to check frequently. In the end, I save quite a bit of money on clothing and household goods. This goes a long way toward creating a savings cushion and extra money for vacations.

We looked for a pair of pants for Charlotte in a consignment store yesterday and found a brand new pair for $2.00! That was a good bargain!
Love finding those items with tags still on! But even without the tags, gently used is great. If you buy something new at a regular store and wash it a couple of times, you end up with the same result, so why not l pay less.
I've always shopped at thrift stores. My daughter loves to look for clothing there, she's got her own unique sense of style and can find some amazing deals.
