Dressing Kids for Less - Nearly New Consignment Sale


My haul from the Nearly New Consignment Sale

Our clothing budget is a whopping $25 a month.  Keeping three growing kids clothed on said budget takes some prudent and savvy shopping!  While I buy most of my clothes at the Goodwill, I've found clearance racks, yard sales and consignments sales to be a better buy for kids clothing.  At those places, I can typically find childrens clothing in better condition and for less money than at Goodwill.  


Girls clothing for Ashleigh

For the past few years, I managed to find some great buys at a local church yard sale.  Sadly, the church decided to no longer hold the seasonal sales.  So I've been on the look out for new sales.  Recently, I received a flyer in the mail for a consignment sale being held at a church near our house.  I wasn't able to make it out for the first day of the sale because of work.  So, I anxiously awaited for the last day of the sale, when most items were 50 - 75% off!   


Boys clothing for Clayton & Reed

Even on the last day, I was still able to find some great name brand items for $1 - $1.50 a piece.  In total, I bought 20 items and paid $20.28 for everything.  Not too shabby!

Where do you find the best deals on kids clothing?

  1. I love a good bargain when clothes shopping. I buy most (about 80%) of my daughters clothes at the end of the season and keep them for next, I just buy a bigger size. You can get jeans for $1.97 and shirts for $1. or $2. I don't usually stop at yard sales or Goodwill (my local one is crammed and smelly). Growing kids go through clothes so fast and I refuse to spend more than what I can afford for clothing for anyone, including myself.

    Love your blog and all the cute outfits you find to wear to work...makes me almost (not quite though) want to start wearing dresses to work again.

  3. My days of looking for cheap children`s clothing are long gone. I have only me and DB to worry about now. But I did get most of my kids stuff from our local charity shops, even years ago. I still buy most of my clothe from the same shops, now. I hardly ever buy anything new, when I can often find good quality and label wear in the charity shops.

  4. You did so good! I buy my kids clothes used too. Sometimes I do splurge on special outfits. But overall I buy 95% used! I love shopping that way!
