If there’s any lesson I learned REALLY quickly after having my first baby, it was those cute 36$ sleepers in newborn size fit for about 26 days. (And baby only got to wear them 6 times in that 26 days period, because let’s face it – I wasn’t doing laundry every other day postpartum. I was busy enjoying my new baby.)

I’m a pretty frugal person, so saving money comes naturally to me, but even I didn’t realize just how many ways there are to get kids + baby clothes cheap (or free) until I started looking.

They’re only gonna be large for a short time, and then they’re gonna fit – and you got DOUBLE time out of them. Learn more

Even if this is your first baby, unless you know without a doubt that you will never have another, go for some gender-neutral things (especially for the more expensive items). My daughter wore my son’s black wither coat (hello 45$), and his black running shoes (hello, ALSO, 45$).

The clothes actually became overwhelming! There was SO MUCH STUFF that my kids never even wore once, and honestly, I could have saved even more money by having less. Learn more
