Reduce, Re-use, and Recycle Clothing

Children outgrow their clothes so quickly that they often have outgrown them before they show any wear. Do your part for the environment and help lighten the financial burden of keeping your children properly attired, and bring your clothes to kiddie consignment stores. Always have the clothes you want to consign freshly laundered and on hangers. You may receive anything from 30% to 50% of the selling price of the items, or even further discounts on clothes you wish to purchase at the store. It is a great way to reduce the cost of your kids' clothing budget. You could also join some of the sites online to give away or trade your children's toys or clothes. It's nice to know you can help others and keep our environment healthy!
