We have a Goodwill, Salvation Army, and a store called New to You…
between the three of those, and freecycle and craigslist, I can always
find something that will work for my 4 children. Clearance shopping at
Walmart is also usually very friendly to the budget.
I also have a wonderful friend who has 2 children who are a couple
sizes bigger then my two preschoolers, her hand me downs have saved me
hundreds of dollars so far.
