I love consignment and thrift stores, especially for kid clothing....they grow so quickly, that I have a hard time justifying buying new clothes. Usually, every season, I buy 2-3 brand new outfits, and depend on hand-me-downs and thrift stores for the rest.

However, the city that we live in, isn't umm the best ....and the thrift stores near us, are severely sad. I've been to a few of them, and 80% of what is for sale, really belongs in the trash (stained, pilled, obviously very worn) So, my plan is to drive 45 minutes to some of the nicer cities, because I suspect the thrift stores will be nicer, even if they are a little pricier, the value will be better, kwim?
