Author: I’m a single mom doing everything on my own. I’m looking for site that people can list items for sale or to give away. I’ve already tried criaglist and gotten a few good outfits, but my son needs more than two outfits. Can someone help me?
In the US yard sale "season" is about to begin. I can search my local paper’s listing of yard sales and flea markets for free on-line, you could see if you can search your area’s listings on-line for free.
Freecycle is a definite yes! Not only can you get clothes for free, but anything else you could possible need! Last year we got two infant swings in good condition for free. Our daughter was to small for them then, but she loves her swing now!
You can also try your local thrift stores. Our daughter has been outfitted for very little money with us visiting our local thrift store only once or twice every couple of months. Try all the local thrift stores you can find. You may find that some are not worth going to (because of prices, cleanliness of the store, good or bad choice of merchandise). Eventually, though, you will find one that you like and it could become like a second home! (Our thrift store is almost an hour away, but even with gas prices the way they are, we save money going there. There are some thrift stores closer, but we’ve found a store that we really like for many reasons so it’s worth it to us to make the trip!)
If you get into it, eBay is a wonderful place to find clothes. (Personally, I’d rather haunt the thrift stores and yard sales.)
Whatever method you choose, I would suggest keeping one important thing in mind… kids grow and they do it fast! If you see an outfit or single piece of clothing in your travels that won’t fit your son now but will fit him sometime in the future, grab it! We’ve found good, quality merchandise for our daughter that won’t fit her until she’s 2-3 years older! We picked it up because we know that she will use it eventually. If you have the space, try to stock up if you have the opportunity. It could save you a bunch of money later.
Good luck!
Posted in cheap baby clothes
freecycle.org is one option
or in Texas we have Once Upon A Child and Kid to Kid, they are both resale shops, you can buy stuff or "trade" in your old stuff, i have also found some pretty good stuff at Goodwill
also, i don’t know how old your son is but, if he is school aged, our district donates all of it’s lost and found clothes to a free clothes closet(i think they recieve private donations as well, so maybe younger children’s clothes as well) anyhow, families can "shop" for free a couple times a month,…..
(it might helpyou get more area specific answers if you add where you are living :0) )

You should try the churches in your area as will as Goodwill,Salvation Army, and the Thrift stores. They have good clothes,toys,and furniture for children.
Good luck in the future.

Check out your local thrift stores- its amazing the brand named almost new things you can find in the store. You just need to take the time to go through unorganized racks. Also if you join a MOPS or other playgroup, clothes are always handed around. You get way more than you need and pass it along when its outgrown!
