When my kids were young I went to yard sales every weekend I could. They wore all yard sale clothes. I was not spending my money on new clothes to get played in, stained, and ripped. Of course when they got older (teen) they could shop for their own clothes where ever they wanted. I stop when I see one while I'm out, but I don't plan on going. I go to estate sales when I'm looking for furniture, painting or nice rugs.
