Last week I spent $260.83 on clothes for my kids. Before you freak out $250 was a gift card given to us by our daughter's school. When they told us we where going to be getting a $250 Walmart cigar card. The first thing I said was I'm going to buy our three kids some new clothes do. They can always use more clothes since they Are always growing. Each of the kid got about 12 I items each give or take one kid might have one more outfit then the other two. Already got half of their clothes in the mail the week. Everyone wasn't suppose to make it here till the 1st of March but ended up coming yesterday and the day before. I still have one more out their coming from Texas. So over all my husband and I spent $10.83 out of pocket which isn't bad at all.

It's crazy. I have two boys so the older boys clothes go to littlest boy but some of the things he likes his little brother doesn't like or not sure he will. So I keep some, give or sell the others away to make room for new clothes.

@ShyBear88 I have two girls and a boy. Some of my eldest' clothes can be passed down, but they don't necessarily have the same tastes, but it can be hard to tell as they're 4 and 2 1/2. As for my son, well we have to get him stuff, although we've been lucky as we know people who have sons a little older than mine, and who have given us stuff.

My daughter is a government runner programs called head start. All states have them for families that are low income or have children with special needs. The programs is to help those kids get a start in education to better themselves for the future. Many families do not have the money for food, clothes, pay bills. This money was a donation for, the Toyata to the head start fa,I leis to,use as med through Walmart. I choice to buy my three kids clothes that they need.
