[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll be the outlier here. I love clothes and dressing my kids brings me joy. I have two boys and a girl all under 5. I probably spend $1k per year on the boys (mostly for the older one since they younger one gets lots of hand me downs except for shoe) and another $1-1.5k on the girl. I know it’s dumb but we easily afford it and it makes me happy. I have a few friends who have the same taste and kids slightly younger than mine so pretty much everything gets continued use after my kids outgrow it.[/quote]

You're only an outlier in that you know what you're spending. A lot of these other posts are totally unrealistic. I posted on the first page (9:39) and I work my butt off to keep the numbers that low. People saying prob $600 a year and listing places like Primary just have no idea what they're spending. Even if you're careful about shopping you'd prob still be in the 4 figures per year per kid if you're buying all new. [/quote]

Agreed DCUM is funny. Everyone has 400K+ HHIs yet only spends $200 a year on clothes? [/quote]

I agree with the poster above that the main reason my kids wear secondhand is because I’m trying to reduce waste, be green, so on. I also don’t like wasting money. Once my kids are older and can wear clothes for more than one season I’ll be more likely to buy new but right now they are growing so fast, stain, tear, or lose their stuff, and don’t care much about what they wear.
