I layby everything! It helps me be organised, get the sizes I need and only pay off a small amount a week! It also stops DH noticing how much I actually spend on the kids clothes

Keep checking ebay as well. It took me a couple of weeks of checking before I came across what I needed for my girls (bulk lots of summer tshirts). I actually came across 2 great listings and now I follow the sellers, and buy heaps of their stuff. It's also a busy time of year - I have bags and bags of stuff I need to list (girls stuff) and I haven't found the time with Easter hols coming up.
