It can run into a lot of money but my friends found some ways to save money on sports equipment for their kids over the years that I would like to share with you.

Buy in the Off Season. It makes sense to buy summer clothes in summer, right? One of the best ways to find summer office shirts and slacks at a deep discount is to buy them in fall when stores are unloading stock they didn’t sell in summer. In winter, make an effort to buy a new fall wardrobe. Buy second-hand.
