Back To School: Stock Up With Sustainable Clothing Choices
My kids keep outgrowing EVERYTHING. I hear this is normal, but sheesh… would someone slow them down so my wallet can keep up with their clothing needs? With five children (16G, 9B, 9G, 7G, 4G) to dress, it becomes even more important that I choose clothing which will last and is cost effective. My Fall clothing budget is around $100-$150 per child (with the older ones taking a larger chunk of the overall spending because the younger girls get lots of hand-downs). When nine pair of undies can run $20.00 (or more!), I have to be very careful with our funds. I also want to purchase items which will hold up well to kid wear and tear so that it can be saved for the next child (or passed on to a friend). If you are looking for a new backpack, check out Wenona’s post. Here’s how we do it.
