I buy only re-sellable items in excellent condition. Then, whenever my little one gets to the size bracket, I make sure he's got 6 pairs of jeans, two pairs of trousers, 7 tops, 7 jumpers and two coats in the next size bracket by buying from Ebay. When we have everything (will take 2/3 weeks) I wash, iron and photograph his old items either seperately or in a bundle, and I almost always recoupe my costs. It's good to have playclothes that you don't mind being stained or ripped, too. I give these to 3rd world children, or linen recylists. Ebay is amazing.

It's helped control the clutter and the family budget. Now the clothes my kids have outgrown pay for their "new" wardrobe.
