"When you find a great bargain, it's like you've accomplished something tremendous." — Joanne
Joanne is a nursery school teacher and a mother of two with an unusual passion—she's a wizard at shopping for her children's clothes on a limited budget! She's so good at it, she's even found a way to make the clothes she buys pay for themselves!
Joanne's Top Tips and Secret Sources

Get acquainted with your local consignment store...name brands often sell for fractions of what they cost in most stores.

Many stores, even consignment and thrift shops, have sales twice a year. You can find lots of items for under $10.

One of Joanne's staples for her kids is white sneakers—keep them looking new with white shoe polish. It won't cake off, and their shoes will look brand new!

Kids R Us is one of Joanne's favorite spots for great bargains on clothes, as is bidding for items on eBay!
