How many of you buy clothes in advance?

 I buy clothes way in advance for my son. When they are on sale, garage sales, etc. I hate paying full price for something he isn't going to wear for very long..He currently wears 24mo/2T but I have clothes up to 4T for him already. Does anyone else do this and where do you find the best deals?

I don't bc I never know what size to buy for which season. I but the majority of their clothes at once upon a child anyway so the prices are pretty good.

I have next years winter jacket, pair of pants and Halloween pajamas. We keep our eye out for sales and clearence at Carter's, children's place and old navy. Last year I found a few tanks at old navy for 1.00$ each. They make great sleep tanks.

I quit doing that for them ehen they wete little bc its so hard to predict what size they will be and i had 1 too many items that werent the right size for the season. Now that they are bigger its easier bc they arent growing as fast.

I buy at the beginning of the season. I never know what size my oldest is going to be in, in a particular season. For this spring I have had to buy her 4t/5t clothing due to her being to tall and she is only 3-1/2! So buying ahead for us would be a huge waste of money!

I cant wit my son he grows at such a strange rate lol its hard to plan what size he will be in the next season ..but i do try and get somethings like shoes in larger sizes when they go on sale since things like sneakers can be worn all seasons.
