Prepping for First Day of School

Hi D.!
There is a great ON LINE place that you can go to buy, sell, etc. It is called ____@____.com and you can sell your items, place a post of "looking for" and people will respond straight to you with items that they have that they are looking to get rid of that you want (i.e. your children's clothes) etc. I have a 10yo girl & 4yo boy & use the site on a regular basis. It reminds me of this group, many people just want to help others! Hope this helps....oh, yes, I almost forgot....the garage sale place...is FREE!!!!

I went to the outlets in San Marcos yesterday. They were having some really great sales all over the place...I know Old Navy ALWAYS has great stuff for super cheap.

If I were you, I would go to Wal-Mart and purchase from the clearance racks and the shelves that have the Garanimals and the Hanes printed shirts and shorts. We went yesterday to get some things for my 9 yr old who is getting ready for camp, and got a lot for a little. Many of the tee shirts were less than 5 dollars.
A few weeks ago I went to the salvation Army out @ 281 and Stone oak with my friends' teenage daughter. We were looking for vintage but i skimmed thru the kids area just to see, and just like the other Salvation Army's they were very picked over, and the clothes were faded and stained.
If you are still inclined to go the second-hand route, there are some kids resale shops that buy and sell. (buy by appointment only) and their prices are discounted, but not impressive. Kid's Junction and Kid's Kingdom, or King's kids, something like that. My mom would buy a whole "lot" of items on ebay for my daughter for just a few bucks, and the things were very well preserved. You know what?? If your daughter is smaller than mine then chances are good that my very "big for her age" daughter will have outgrown half of her new things in just a few weeks time. Email me during the last 2 weeks of summer and I can put together a bag of her small things, some which will probaby still be new, since she is so darn picky...

Kid2Kid and Kid's Junction are te best. Kid's Junction is located in the Castle hill area everything is clean and they even buy your old stuff ( if it looks in good condition for store credit)

D., I shop for my kids, my husband and myself at the Texas Thrift Store. It's great! Most of their clothes look brand new and some even have the tags still on them. I did a quick Google search and found that there are four locations. Here they are:
