Children's Clothes - How Many Do You Buy, How Much Do You Spend?

[Nai]

I do the baby and kids markets. Last time I got 25 items for $80 including 4 pairs of shoes (seed, Zara), 6 dresses (Wayne cooper jnr, country road, milkshake), 5 tops (gap) amongst others. I never pay full price and like to buy second hand where possible. Even so, my girls have way too many clothes!

I buy too much too, just can't seem to resist!

But I'm really trying to cut back lol! Your list sounds good. The things I'd need to add to that are winter PJ's (which easter bunny is bringing), gumboots, a winter coat and tights/leggings. I also have a DD who hates jeans but thankfully she'll wear cord pants and trackies although she'd much prefer to wear dresses/skirts every day. My DD seems to have had a growth spurt lately so I also need to get her new singlets and socks. Just need to find the time to go and do it!

Five sweat tops for $40 is great, I'd love to know where you got them from.

Thanks ladies - interesting to see what other people are spending/buying.

Nai - I should get on to babies/children's markets, sounds like you got yourself a fab deal there.

So, for those who asked, I just checked the tags and got three sweat tops (no hoods) for $7 each from Best & Less. They are plain but warm (nice soft, fleecy lining) in the usual pastel colours. I also got two flowery ones for $12 each. So $45 in total (bit more than the $40 I said but you could stick to the plain and get fice for $35). I was quite pleased with this as I usually spend $20 each for them from Target or Cotton On so to save $13 on each one I thought was fab.
