Shopping for baby clothing can be a lot of fun, but it’s astonishing to see how quickly those tiny little items add up to a very large bill in a standard retail store. If you are hunting for a baby shower gift, shopping for your own baby, or purchasing baby clothes for charity, there are places you can go and tips you can follow to buy baby clothing at a discount.

Coupons are a shopper’s best friend. Browse through your local paper to find discounts and coupons for your favorite stores. Every time you go to the store, look for fliers that talk about special sales. Another way to get discounted prices on baby clothing is to shop online using discount coupon codes. Some websites regularly offer discounts at popular stores. They offer deals on specific items, deals according to the amount you spend, and seasonal deals. You can sign up for an RSS feed to find out when your favorite stores are having discounts on baby clothing.

Go to auction websites to find baby clothing. Since babies grow so fast, you can frequently find large quantities of baby clothing in nearly perfect condition. Look for overstock sales. If the company is going out of business or has too much inventory, it offers its excess inventory to warehouses and other mediators at deep discounts. You can purchase from these mediators and warehouses in certain retail stores or online at auction sites.

Take a trip to a local thrift shop or stock up on baby clothing at yard sales. Thrift shops often support other charities, so you get a deep discount on your baby clothing and you help you support a good cause. If you are purchasing baby clothing for a charity, tell the people who run the thrift shop. You might find that they will offer you more clothing at an even deeper discount.
