oh forgot to add handmedowns are awesome expecally from friends you are shopaholics
my youngest son is set til his 5 (2t-6) because of one friend and 90% of the clothes were never worn. Also check for freecycling in your area OMG i just love freecycle. They helped me clean out my closets and help me get a newer washer(working), a double stroller(i babysit this helps me be able to leave the house), computer parts(this was a life saver if we would not have gotten these I would not be online today), carseat for my youngest dd, and alot more.
