I had three baby showers when I was pregnant for my son–one from each side of the family and one from my co-workers. Many of the other items I needed like cloth diapers and clothes for the baby in bigger sizes I bought from garage sales. I’ve seen friends of mine spend hundreds of dollars per season on their infants.

That means a lot of other families need to offload children’s clothing that was barely worn, so you can snag some great deals. You can find used children’s clothing at thrift stores, garage sales, or online via Facebook Marketplace or eBay. Ask Family and Friends. Buy Out of Season.

We’re fairly frugal and try to limit our expenditures. Another source of clutter with kids is gifts that well-meaning friends and relatives give. If something is cheap at a garage sale, I may buy it even if I’m not sure that I’ll use it. We loved how the apartment felt when we first moved in.

We were poor, Mom and Dad lived every day showing us what it meant to ‘make it do’ and we often ‘did without’ Here are my thoughts on frugal ways to make things do. Instead of taking the family to a movie, have a home movie night with friends and family. Buy good clothing, used. Use up your food.
