Ugh. Why do the kids need to keep GROWING?!
Lol I miss the days when I could pick out DD's clothes and she would just wear them without question. Now at 13 she insists on picking out her own clothes.
If you stop feeding them, they stop growing. But then you have a whole new set of problems! We had to buy a whole lot of new pants for DD since she is potty training. Preschool is going through many a day. We go through about 2 accidents on weekends.
Well, I guess I can be grateful that those days are far behind me, LOL. :)

Wow. I've never been at that stage. I've attempted thrift stores and find lots of girl stuff, but very limited boy stuff (just like in regular stores - grrr) and what I do find is either awful or the wrong sizes.
We don't have access to consignment stores (we live in a rather rural area). I suppose I could try garage sales this summer...
Quoting Nighttiger:
Luckily I'm still at the consignment andgarage sale age. I dont pay more than $1 per clothing item right now. Not looking forward to when he cares!
Clothes are so expensive!!! Then when you get to add football cleats, basketball shoes, track shoes, track spikes, baseball cleats, basketball socks, track socks, baseball pants.....WOW! Hold on to your checkbook! And that's just the boys.
Yup! So true!!
We spent a FORTUNE on my oldest son for all of his baseball gear - and then he quit after his first season. ARG. He's now a cross-country runner and track, so it's only the shoes we need to worry about as the school provides the uniforms, etc. Whew!
My middle son plans on joining baseball this Spring and Football in the fall, so that will be a lot of money.
Youngest does soccer, but at his age he doesn't need anything special - they just run around in circles, LOL.

Huh
I spend that much just buying clothes for my 14 yo at the low end dept stores! But then again he's in mens sizes so .... *shrug*
Yeah, my 13 year old also buys from men's dept. This was Target - and a lot of clearance racks. Believe me - at the beginning of school I spent at least double that amount on everyone.
