I'm not sure if you have Savers in your area. You can check online at www.savers.com for the closest location to you. I buy pretty much all of the clothes for our family there. School uniforms, casual clothes, jeans for my husband, etc. It is a second hand store with great prices. You will want to do a quick check to be sure there are no stains or areas starting to come unsewed, but for the most part all of the clothes are in great condition! Hello!

Firstly Consignment Sales! Around our community these sales go on in the spring and fall. People sell their gently used items for pennies on the dollar. Secondly the Goodwill Store!! I especially have great luck for myself at this store. I recently bought four tops, three skirts, and a denim jacket for less than $40, all top quality, and near-perfect condition.

I have a card with them and I can count on some really good deals. Around Mother's and Father's Day they send me $10 off of any $10 purchase and for my birthday this year (June, so around the same time as the other coupons) they sent me a coupon for $15 off any purchase as long as I used my Penney's card. I was able to get new shirts for $3.49 each! That's cheaper than used shirts at Goodwill! I love the deals at JC Penney!

Their clearance section usually has an additional discount. I bought my son an adidas shirt there for $2.40. They also offer additional discounts to cardholders, but the same discount can be used by all with a coupon from their sales ad. Macy’s is a good place to also find clothing for $5 and under.

A few weeks ago I picked up long-sleeved t-shirts and dress shirts, some short-sleeved t-shirts, pants, shorts, and a bathing suit for $3.99-$6.99 each. They will definitely last through both boys and then I can sell them on ebay and recoup my costs as Gymboree holds its value.

She will give you a CP business card with a free shipping code good for 1 use. It's the best way to me b/c I can then go home and order after the kids go to bed plus they have free returns to the store.

And the good thing about name brand clothing is that it holds it's resell value a lot better than generic brands, so you can make more money off of it when it comes time to sell it. You know what I mean? Nothin' wrong with shopping at Walmart though! AmyG-
