Last week we had to go have new tires put on the car and have it inspected. We had it done near the mall, so we went walking around. We packed snacks and sandwiches, just in case we got hungry. This kept us from spending money on food while we were there.

I found some really great deals. I try to buy larger sizes for the kids when I find things on clearance. The most I will spend on the little ones’ clothing is $3 a piece. For my older son, I won’t pay more than $15 for pants, $10 for long-sleeved shirts and $5 for t-shirts. Well we went to Sears first and they had an extra 30% off clearance prices, plus a coupon for an additional 15% off. My husband got a new pair of sneakers on clearance for $35 (originally over $70) and I bought 2 pairs of pants for my son at $4.19 each. I also got my little girl a beautiful spring dress for $7. When they rang up, I also saved an additional $8. At JC Penney, I bought 3 long sleeved shirts for my little guy (2 were size 2T and the other was 4T) that were $1.97 each. I also got him an outfit in size 3T for $4.97. I’m not sure how much we saved exactly because I didn’t look at the original price. I just knew that they were below my max price so I grabbed them.

Shopping like this saves us so much money. When the season comes around or school starts I only have to buy a couple things, sometimes nothing. How do you save money on clothes for kids?
