All parents like their children to be
well-dressed. But, keeping up with your kids as they grow can be tricky.
It is
all too tempting to buy cheap clothing to help you to balance the budget.
Sometimes this works out OK. That inexpensive t-shirt you bought on the market
still looks good at the end of the summer.
Other times, those bargain leggings
you buy go to holes after just a couple of weeks.
For any parent, finding good-quality
clothing for a reasonable price is not easy. But, if you know where to look it
can be done. You just need to read on to find out how.
Tap into the experience of other
parents.
If you come across a children´s clothing
retailer that sells the kind of clothes your children like to wear, read the reviews
first. A quick search for the company name and the word reviews will take you
straight to the information you need.
It is also worth following the
recommendations of friends and family. Parents talk a lot amongst themselves
about all sorts of things including where they shop.
Consider buying second-hand items
This next suggestion is not for
everyone. Some people do not like buying used
clothing, which is a shame because you can pick up some top-quality items at
virtually no cost. This is a particularly good way to buy expensive items, like
coats and school blazers.
Paying second-hand
prices for new kid´s clothing
Occasionally, you will even find clothes
for sale that still have the labels on. Yard sales are a particularly good
place to check out. Some charity shops also sell children´s clothes.
Increasingly, mainstream retailers are giving them their leftover stock as a
way of helping these organizations out and stopping items from ending up in a landfill. As a result, once again you can
sometimes find unworn items for sale in charity shops.
Shop online
There are some great small retailers out
there that sell nice clothes at low prices.
So, next time you go online to buy your kid’s clothes dig a little deeper than
page one of Google.
Also, take a look at marketplaces like Etsy. There are quite a
few small retailers on websites like that selling their unique items of kid´s
clothing.
Tap into the power of coupons
Before you buy anything, get into the
habit of seeing whether there is a voucher available. You can find some great
deals using coupon websites. If you cannot find any, check the retailer’s
website as well. Sometimes you can get a discount simply by buying more items
at once and taking advantage of free postage deals.
Create your own kid´s clothing
If you are creative creating your own
children´s clothes can be a really good option. It is far easier than you think.
Especially, if you buy good-quality plain t-shirts, tops, and bottoms and customize them. This YT
video shows you several ways to do it.
It is relatively easy to find retailers
selling multi-packs of plain clothing. This is far cheaper than buying items
one at a time.
As you can see there are lots of ways to save money when buying children´s clothings. Many of the above suggestions work equally as well for adult´s, so you can also save money when buying your own clothes.
