You can find quality clothing in excellent preowned condition for a fraction of what these items would cost new at a retail store. My own children had wardrobes which included brands I would never have been able to afford except at consignment clothing stores! This is also an excellent way to get a little money back when your children outgrow clothes long before they are worn out. There are many consignment clothing stores in existence today, most of which require you to make an appointment in advance so they can look over the clothing you would like to sell and help you decide on pricing. The store keeps a percentage of the items which sell, and you get the rest. We made a trip to the consignment store every month when my children were young, and it was always something they looked forward to. I never spent more than $5 on anything and I saved a fortune! Many consignment stores also carry toys - another opportunity to recycle and earn a little cash back, especially on those baby items which are used for only a brief time period.
Another great source for quality used clothing are the stores run by donation centers like Goodwill, Salvation Army, Thrift Stores, and others. Stores which collect from more expensive neighborhoods often have very high quality merchandise, some of it may never have even been used. The money you spend goes to helping people in need, so there is double value in shopping in these stores.You can find local listings online - go visit one and see what treasures you might find!
