So, here is my secret for shopping for baby clothes for two toddlers without breaking the bank: shop between seasons. It sounds like a strange thing to do, to wait until the end of summer before buying summer clothes, but I promise you you'll save a lot of money, and here's why: stores push the season merchandise before the season begins. This means that by the time summer is nearing an end, the retailers need to get the fall and winter clothes out on the floor. So they clearance all of the summer merchandise to get it out of the way.
Shopping between seasons for baby clothes and childrens clothes works with retail stores, specialty boutiques, and online stores like sandboxcouture.com. They key is waiting for the right time. For spring and summer clothes, check out stores in July and August. For winter clothing, check out stores in March and April.
By shopping between seasons, you'll save as much as 75% on clothes! Here's an example of what I picked up last week: four pairs of toddler girls' shorts, four tank tops, and two pairs of toddler boys' shorts. Guess how much I spent? Ready for it? $30. That's right. $30! Thanks to the items being on clearance, I spent an average of $3 per item. These clothes are normally priced anywhere from $3.99 to $12.99 each. :)

I have three kids of my own...so when I SHOP for them or any baby cloth, trust me online shopping is best. However, I do it with a purpose! One way is to clearly read the terms and conditions of the site...not just click "agree". I always make a point to read not only the terms and conditions, but the return, shipping, privacy, and security policies. It takes 20 minutes but its well worth the time. One amazing site is www.goodwillmall.com (online shopping based on donations). They are focused on security (very evident with https (128 bits encryption certificate) and hacker proof) and their terms and conditions are straight forward. Never had a problem! Plus, a portion of all purchases you make goes towards any of your charities (up to five). Win win for all! Check out their stores and click under children or baby for all their affiliations! Amazing...I always get deals!
