I've often found Old Navy tees on sale in the $3-4 range and I try to stock up the next size then. Good to know about the Walmart tees -- will definitely check them out! I try to stay away from their clothing section when I'm with the kids because it is full of their favorite characters ;)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746777760318892646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299886129893433497.post-88306732301257918942017-07-13T07:58:42.250-05:002017-07-13T07:58:42.250-05:00I'm all about mix and match.

My toddler is so messy, and I have to change shirts/shorts frequently. I like the Garanimals line at Wal-Mart, but have noticed that sometimes the shirts are a blend, sometimes not. Garanimals is a quality brand with a good price. I'm glad to hear about those Fruit of the Loom solid tee's.<br /><br />For our 12 year old, around 2nd grade, he started wanting to wear only elasticized waist athletic pants and shorts (the polyester kind). I think it had something to do with being efficient in the restroom. Anyway, that habit has stuck, and here we are still wearing them. In the winter, he wears the same kind of pants only we get the kind that are fleece lined for warmth. As for shirts, he is picky about graphics on his shirts, so he mostly wears solid color t-shirts from JC Penney -- Arizona brand.

I also frequent Goodwill and look for clothes for future seasons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299886129893433497.post-72315073994378028962017-07-12T21:14:33.429-05:002017-07-12T21:14:33.429-05:00and thanks for the shout-out :)and thanks for the shout-out :)Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299886129893433497.post-44969834580983541052017-07-12T21:14:21.510-05:002017-07-12T21:14:21.510-05:00oh man, boys and clothes.

I buy uniforms at Old Navy, but his clothes are mostly hand-me-downs from a friend, which is such an incredible blessing because they're FREE and the choices are already made for us! Occasionally I have to supplement with Sunday clothes or outerwear. I try the thrift store first, but since boys are so hard on their clothes, I can't always find what I need. I also do eBay, looking for quality second-hand clothes from individuals, not the big commercial sellers.Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299886129893433497.post-73399752338330995652017-07-12T19:55:17.034-05:002017-07-12T19:55:17.034-05:00Kids' wardrobe is such an area of our budget t...Kids' wardrobe is such an area of our budget that needs an overhaul! I try to buy good quality clothes that will last through at least both girls, which ends up costing a small fortune twice a year. Plus, ever since my oldest was 2 she's had SUCH opinions about her clothing, and more than half of the things I buy her go unworn because it's impossible to guess what she will accept and what she'll refuse to wear. Thinking of performing an experiment this fall and finding lower cost clothing--maybe it will hold up better than I'm giving it credit for? So nice that your boys don't have an opinion! And yes to simple clothing!Kirbyhttp://www.agladhome.comnoreply@blogger.com
