Sarah's sis in Texas here. I just wanted to share my favorite Earth-saving tip--thrift stores. My son is almost 8 (yes, it FLIES by!) and I shop the thrift stores for nearly all of his clothes (mine, too!). the only things I do not buy thrift are underwear and shoes (unless I can tell they are brand new). I save mucho bucks and keep lots of clothes from ending up in land fills. Also, it is such a great adventure to search out the really great finds. My last one was a pair of brand new Emu Ridge Sherpa boots (retail $130) that I got at a thrift store for $3 (yes, single digit). It's really fun, plus I keep Harper in clothes for low cost that he can use and abuse. Once he outgrows them, I donate them back to the thrift stores. Most of ours around here go to support great causes.

WELCOME! Glad to have you here :)
Yeah, thrift store shopping is one thing I need to work on. I don't have the patience to sift through the items, but I'll work on it. I even have a thrift store within walking distance!
Welcome aboard, Liz! I admit my thrift store shopping came to a halt once Avery was out of the carrier. It gets too hard with him. But, I do plan to start back up once he's in preschool! Garage sales and thrift stores used to be a Sunday morning thing for me (and a few of us in my family growing up.)
And I have to add for everyone, Liz has sent us some awesome things she has found at thrift stores. Avery has had quite the wardrobe as a result, especially when he was a baby!
Welcome Liz!
I love thrift stores too. Especially since I banned myself from Target. I think they are a lot of fun to just poke around. It's something different every time. And I always feel good after a thrift store shopping trip- guilt free.
Welcome Liz!
Hi! And Welcome of course :)
I just started shopping at second hand children's clothes stores and its really fun. We have a couple close by, "Wee Three" and "New 2 You". Just today Ellie wore the sweetest little summer dress that I got for 2 bucks! I need to check out the Salvation Army or the Goodwill to get a feel for what types of things they have...
Anyway, nice to have you here!
