Saving money on kids’ clothes is one of our favorite frugal living wins \u2014 as a debt free living family of 3, about 70%-80% of our daughter’s clothes come from the two big sales we shop each year, with yard sales filling in the rest. This is our winter sale trip.<\/p>\n
We hit the 50% off day and spent $65 total on clothes, shoes, and coloring pencils \u2014 plus about $5 in little toys. In this video, we break down exactly what we bought, why the 50% off day is the only retail day we shop, and how yard sales cover the rest of the year for next to nothing.<\/p>\n
Full honesty: we struck out on stocking up on princess dresses this time. But between the shoes, the everyday basics, and the sale pricing, we did okay \u2014 and we show you the math on why twice-a-year sales plus yard sales beat chasing clearance racks every month.<\/p>\n
This is what frugal living looks like in real life \u2014 not extreme deprivation, just a system that keeps kids’ clothing costs near nothing. If you’re saving money for a big goal (we’re a debt-free family paying off over $250,000), building a wardrobe system like this is one of the easiest wins there is.<\/p>\n\n\n
