A great way to keep the kids and yourself in name brand clothes for almost nothing is to shop eBay. You can really get some great deals for the cost of shipping sometimes!! If you are unsure about using ebay, check out our ebay subforum in the online deals forum.

Craig's list is always a great deal, its mostly local pick up items. People advertise thier things online with the price and if you check often enough, you'll find everything you need within driving distance, OR as far as you are willing to drive.

Freecycle is FREE! There are freecycles in most areas that people will post thier unwanted goods and you can pick them up for free!! I got my daughter a pair of ice skates for free last winter. LLBean ice skates!! Its also a great way to pay it forward and get rid of unwanted stuff from your house as well!

Using ebay and Craig's list is also a great way to make some extra cash as well. Sell your unwanted goods, or your kids outgrown clothes to make a bit of income for yourself, or recycle it to buy what you really need!
