I shop my kids' closets. Clothes they've outgrown but aren't fit to pass on are jewels. Goodwill, Salvation Army store, Thrift stores, garage sales, estate sales, Craig's List, Freecycle... I'm sure all have been or will be mentioned. Sometimes you luck into a real treasure chest of fabric. It's a harder route to go, but the vigilent prosper :)
