I always have my eye out for good prices on kid’s clothes because every time I turn around Desmond needs a new wardrobe. By “good” I mean $2 or so. Yes, I am cheap. Every now and then I go into my favorite consignment shop Once Upon a Child and now is the time for their winter clearance. They have a huge bag sale twice a year where you can get all the clearance clothes you can stuff in a bag for $15, but it’s a crazy busy event and you have to go in with lots of patience to wrestle the crowd, plus last time I didn’t find any worthwhile 3T stuff. This sale is better for infant clothes where you can make quite a haul.
Before this huge sale they mark down all their clearance to $1 so that’s when I like to shop. I went the other day to look for shirts for Desmond. Almost all his 3T stuff is getting too short in the torso and arms. I found a few things for him, but there’s just not much clearance in his size. Then I moved on to peruse the baby girl clothes and they have tons of it! I was especially excited about a cute embroidered jacket and a red velvet dress I got for only a dollar each! I had to limit myself to only the really cute things because I can always go back and get lots of girl stuff at the bag sale on February 5th. I ended up leaving with a bag full of clothes for both Desmond and baby and I saved $50 off the regular consignment prices which are considerably lower than retail to begin with. Hurray for good deals!
