[quote=Anonymous]We have three kids and buy a combination of new and used at pop-up kid consignment sales that specialize in nicer/higher quality clothes. This consignment sale happens maybe two or three times a year, and I purchase a ticket to go before it’s open to the public and often I find brand new clothes with tags. I have gotten new Lands’ End, L.L. Bean, Patagonia and North Face jackets at $8-$15 each - and this ranges from young kid to teen sizes. I am fairly particular about what I purchase, but if I can buy a nicer quality item that is new or almost new, I am thrilled. We could afford all new, but I love finding a bargain, and because I have not spent much money, I do not feel guilty if it’s an item that my kid does not love or wear very often (though usually they are happy with what I find). To the PP’s point about bedbugs, I hear you. That is a huge fear of mine, so, as soon as I purchase anything from the sales, I wash it and blast it on high heat for a few minutes.  In terms of what we spend annually, it is hard to really calculate, but typically, we buy on an as-needed basis, and I feel good about the amounts we spend. [/quote]
