Trying to stay under $150 for fall and winter which around here goes from September to April!
I only shop on stupid clearance / sales new. And buy used off FB groups and HB classifieds.
LO 2 won't need much even though they're 4 months apart. Maybe a few special occasion stuff and a thickets one piece footed coat thing. What are those called?!
-
@locavore_mama: a snowsuit?

We have 4 season weather, but I buy like we have 2 seasons, warm and cold. I do mostly play clothing and then have a few things for dressing up, which is really rare.
The killer for us is shoes, I buy two pairs of $35 sneakers at at time. This year, I am not doing boots, but need a waterproof, weather proof shoe and am struggling. I know those are going to be pricey, which kills me.

I spend too much on clothes even though I only buy on sale. One of my favourite things to do is dress her. I have just finished her summer wardrobe in the gap/zara sales but still spent a lot of $. And summer stuff is just coming out here and it is so cute!! I am in trouble

@looch: can you find shoes at a childrens consignment store? I got lo two pairs of stride rite shoes for $5 each at our once upon a child.
-
@Mrs. Lion: I prefer not to for shoes...it's the only thing I am really picky about. My son is almost 4, he's really hard on his shoes and most of the stuff in bigger sizes is also very worn out...it's part of the reason I think you see so much less variety in the bigger sizes!
-
@looch: I love prowling 6pm.com for shoes. Sign up for for their emails and they routinely send out 10% off coupons.
Last year I got M a pair of Sorel for under $20! -
I literally never pay full price for anything. So, either clearance or consignment. She just went up in shoe sizes, but I only anticipate needing boots for winter (snow and ugh type). I dress her in leggings and long sleeve shirts with a sweatshirt 90% of the time. I might get her a quarter zip fleece from LL Bean because they are thin and warm and last years doesn't fit. I expect to pay about $100+ for winter assuming she doesn't go up a size in the middle of the year like last year.
-
@looch: oh that definitely makes sense. I hadnt thought about losing my cheap options as lo gets bigger. Booo.... But at least you dont have to buy them as often because they grow slower, right?
-
@Mrs. Lion: Yep! I figure we buy shoes twice a year, and eventually that will slow to once a year. I could probably squeak out another few months on these current pairs, but they are really shabby looking!
@locavore_mama: thanks for the tip, i am not subscribed!

Right now, about $50. That's just supplemental to hand-me-downs and frivolous shopping though. We've been really fortunate with clothing! L is only 18 months, so I imagine it will start to increase as hand-me-down quantity and quality start dwindling
-
@Bao: That's good you are planning ahead. I need to sort through her clothes and see what she needs for winter.
