Shopping for babies

Lately I have been trying to search for some good sales on baby items (i.e. clothes and diapers). Is it just me or is everything rising at an alarming rate?  Inflation at its finest, folks.

So I have been shopping for baby B.  We decided to name him Broderick.  I can’t remember whether or not I remembered to mentioned that.  Anyway, I have yet to find a good sale.  You know, the kind where you can stock up to your heart’s content and know that you will be pleasantly rewarded with a discounted bill once everything has been rung up.

No such luck here.  I’m thinking of trying a store called Once Upon a Child.  It is a children’s clothing and accessories consignment shop.  They only take gently used items so you are sure to end up with great clothes at bargain prices.  I am addicted to that store.  I’ll admit it and with no shame.  I plunked down some change a few months ago to outfit my daughter and son for the short spring season.  Now, i’m quite ready to do it again!  Hee!

My friends have been extremely generous in giving me any clothes that their babies have outgrown!  I am so thankful for that!  I seriously have rocking mom friends!

Rambling here… it is amazing to me how frugal I am now as compared to the days when Owiebear was just a little cub.   Of course, the outrageous gas prices don’t help any.

I am forever looking for ways to save money, so here is a question for moms of more than one….

How do you save money when buying clothes, accessories, etc. for your children?

Enlighten me please! :)

There is a yahoo group thing called freecycle and there is one for each area. My mom told me about it. People put things up there to donate, like boxes of baby clothes as well as other stuff. I have gotten some great things from there including a free piano!

Once Upon a Child rocks!! I got a pair of sandals for Maggie last week for $2.50!
