[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One kid. We get no hand-me-downs- well, very few. $600 on clothing and $300 on shoes. Will prob need to increase the shoe budget when he gets a little older and take from the clothing budget a bit? Basically, 150 per quarter on clothing includes any specialty stuff, winter gear, swimming gear, etc. 90% of his clothing is Target and the other 10% is Primary or Hanna Anderson PJs. The shorts from Primary are fantastic and not heavy. Hanna Anderson PJs are super soft and we find that he wont wear the thin scratchy PJs. I resell the Plae shoes (most of our shoe purchases) and get 25-40% of what I paid back. I do give our clothes as hand-me-downs to a friend so don't resell those.

[b]I have tried secondhand or thrift and just don't find good deals. Im not buying Childrens Place thin joggers for $6 when I can buy new Target ones on sale for $8 that have reinforced knees and a 1 year return policy.[/b] [/quote]

I hear you- the most success I've had second hand shopping is actually buying "lots"- either through our neighborhood listserv or on Mercari/FB marketplace.  Real thrifting requires more time and effort than I have because the good stuff gets scooped up by resellers that are there constantly.[/quote]

And people online inflate the crap out of the status of the item. Nope great/like new- even good- condition is NOT scuffed, pilling, stains, visible loss of color, or particularly for shoes me being able to tell if your kid pronates or supinates when they walk/run based on the wear of the bottom tread or worse, the shoe leaning into/out of the base of the shoe.  :shock: [/quote]
