Happy Monday, friends!
With back to school upon us we know many parents are looking forward to a reprieve and renewed routine!
But… it also means back to school shopping.
School supplies, teacher gifts, and new outfits can put a strain on the wallet this time of year, but with the right tools, these items don’t have to break the bank!
Below, we dive into our favorite freebies & deals for school clothes to help save big $$$ this time of year! 💯
👚 Shop secondhand and get 45% off + free shipping with ThredUp! There are subsections of the website dedicated to children’s clothing & shoes, which makes finding sustainable outfits a breeze. **
🔄 Do you have friends with kids, or are you a member of the PTA? Consider hosting a clothing swap! Children outgrow their clothes in the blink of an eye. Chances are, someone you know has clothing that will fit your little one. You could exchange clothes with them or provide other services – like lawn care or babysitting – for free back-to-school outfits.
🛍️ Check out your local consignment shop. Many of these stores offer children’s clothing for $5 or under, and some even offer onesies for babies for $0.50 or $1.
🗓 Join the FREE virtual Get Organized summit the week of September 9 and hear from over 100 speakers on all things organization, simplification, and decreasing stress. It’s the free event we ALL need as the school year begins!
