[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you shop at tea, boden, etc.  HHI 275k, different genders so no hand me downs.  Thanks![/quote]

We have a HHI of $400k+, but buy nearly 100% of all items used from thrift stores.  The max I'd pay for an item would be maybe $4-$5 for a coat.  Everything else would be $1 and nothing more.  My son looks as cute as can be in his $.80 Gymboree skeleton pjs that were brand new at the thrift store with their 75% off Halloween items as he would if he were wearing Xmas pjs.  I figure one day they will HAVE to have this or that shoe/brand, but for now (age 6.5 for boy and 9 for girl) it works for us.  So no budget per se but rather we don't buy any piece of non outerwear clothing that is more than $1 an item.  I don't buy what I don't need - so cute or not I won't be getting shirts if we have shirts.   [/quote]

Oh - and we also try to resell our clothing for dirt cheap when we outgrow it (so maybe $.50/item) or $20 for an entire wardrobe and put it towards the next things we need.  I just spend $5 on a brand new (tag on) ski suit for my 9 year old and I didn't even want to spend that on it for something used just on occasion.  I figured if I didn't buy it now, however, if I waited until I needed it, I'd be spending $50+.[/quote]
