[quote=Anonymous]There's a large element of luck in thrifting.  I'd advise you to choose the two Value Village stores closest to your house, as well as at least one non-VV store, and visit each one of them to look for what you want.  Make sure your kids are OK with whatever color you bring home.

Also, try to familiarize yourself with a variety of brand sizes.  I know that my son is a S/5-6 in most clothing, but Land's End runs large and I can't go above 4 in that brand, for example.

My other piece of advice is to put your new purchases in the dryer for at least 30 minutes on high heat immediately after you get them home, before any washing and even before trying on.  The vast majority of purchases won't have moth or carpet beetle eggs, but you need to protect yourself against the .001% that do.

One more thing:  Have you looked at Children's Place & Target, particularly online?  Winter coats are at least 50% off at this point.  You might get something closer to what you need for only a bit more $ and a lot less work.  [/quote]
