Clothing from bubs to teenagers. You can still set a trend on a budget. Also win a wardrobe see below.

Anonymous Author (August 2006)

My advice is do not spend much they are not in them for long enough to wear them out.

I have never paid full price for any of my childrens clothes.  Even for designer clothes.  I recently even bought some straight from the Warehouse and save quite a

lot.

My favourite shopping is ebay.  www.ebay.com.au

Otherwise www.pumpkinpatch.com.au or www.jkonline.com.au

These online sites have a clearence tab.

The other money saver try to buy at least last sesons clothes for next year.

I am a shopping nut so I'm nearly 2years ahead in clothes for my baby Ella.  Only because it is so much fun buying girls clothes.

The next big tip is Factory outlets such as www.dfo.com.au

When you want play clothes you cannot go past the local Op shops like http://www.lifeline.com.au/ .  I found a Thomas the Tank engine t-shirt at Salvo's for my son Ty for $2.50 I wont cry if he gets paint or wreaked. www.salvos.org.au/  http://www.vinnies.org.au/home.cfm?CFID=959500&CFTOKEN=19619818

For out sisterly Americans which us Aussies can buy from now as well.  Even a bargin yo can WIN A WARDROBE. www.gymboree.com

i agree totally
I have seven kids and of those 7 4 teenagers I went to the dfo a couple of months ago and bought ripcurl jeans with the button missing for one of the boys for 4 dollars and a pair of board shorts for one of the boys for 4 dollars and heaps of girls clothes too all for 4 dollars some had buttons missing and one pair of jeans had a diamontee missing from the decorative bow on the back. then one of the best bargains ever I went with blackwidowkate a minti mum to  the gold coast and went to supre there they have a clearance part of the shop everything is 2.50. I also buy the younger kids clothes on ebay but I re sell them when they grow out of them to fund the never ending clothing bill in this house hehe.

great advice
Great advice for little ones but my almost teenager thinks that only the best will do to fit in and sometimes I agree with the way teenage girls can be.

This sounds like what I do
Good advice. I agree you can put your kids in the best for less! I know cos I do. Sometimes you just need a little time especially when scouring clearance and op shops to get bargains.
