5 Tips for Buying Kids’ Clothes on a Budget

5 Tips for Buying Kids’ Clothes on a Budget

Buying clothes for your kids can be one of the most expensive parts of parenting. Just when you think you have your child’s wardrobe sorted out for the season, you find that they’ve outgrown everything you purchased so carefully. If you’re hoping to save money on your kids’ clothes this year, however, these tips will make it easier.

1. Buy Ahead

Kids’ clothes go on clearance at the end of the season just like adult clothes–and often for even lower prices. If your child grows fairly predictably and you have a good idea of what size they’ll be in next year, take the leap and purchase clothes for the next year while they’re on sale.

2. Use Coupons

Coupons can help you save a substantial amount on your children’s clothes, especially if you use them carefully. This coupon from Buy Buy Baby, for example, will allow you to save 50% on your children’s clothes purchases, while this one from Babies R Us offers a 60% discount on your total purchase–and 20% more off on clothes and shoes.

3. Buy What You Need

When your kids are small, it’s especially tempting to buy all the adorable little outfits you see. That precious sleeper embroidered with teddy bears or that beautiful little dress are hard to resist! Take care, however, to only purchase the clothing your child will actually need. Those adorable t-shirts don’t help anyone if they spend the entire season hanging in the closet!

4. Share With Friends

If you have friends with kids a little older or a little younger than yours, get in the habit of sharing clothes. Pass down clothes your kids have outgrown and receive clothes that their kids no longer fit in return. In many cases, kids outgrow clothes long before they wear them out, so why not take advantage of the opportunity to share?

5. Wait for Sales

When your child has a sudden growth spurt in the middle of a season, waiting for sales might not be an option. The rest of the time, however, checking out sales is the best way to increase the number of clothes you can get for your available budget. Train yourself to wait for sales before you jump in and buy more than your child needs.

Finding ways to save money on children’s clothes will help you make a big difference in your overall budget. By utilizing these simple tips, you can drop your clothing budget for the year substantially. That means that it’s easier to dress your kids in style without breaking the bank–a welcome change for every parent.
