How to Find Bargain Clothes for Your Tween

Tweens outgrow their clothes quickly. If your budget does not allow for "new" designer clothes that get outgrown or worn too quickly, try finding some of the top brands for a bargain. Here's how.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Try searching for clothes on eBay. You can usually find top name brands and better quality clothing on eBay. They have made it much easier over the years to find just what you are looking for with better search functions to narrow down your pickings.

2. Clearance racks at almost any store will yield some great bargains. Stores will put in-season clothes on sale to make room for the next season's styles, so your child can be wearing his new clothes for quite a while before seasons change.

3. Don't be afraid to use consignment shops for tween clothes. Most consignment shops only accept good quality clothes, so you are sure to find styles and sizes that will make your tween happy.

4. If you have a free morning and you are up for a challenge, you might consider browsing through yard sales to find bargain clothes. There is no doubt that you will find bargains, but it takes time to find the right location that has your child's size and styles.

5. Online sales at well-known stores are a great place to find bargain clothes as well. You will usually find styles that you don't see in stores around you. A lot of online stores will also offer free shipping when you spend a certain amount of money, so it could definitely be worth your time to browse online for a while.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure your tween likes what you see before buying anything. They can be picky about their clothes at this age.

on 11/9/2008 In Santa Monica, California the coolest shop for Tweens has opened. It is called Tween Scene Boutique and it is a trendy recycled clothing shop for tween girls. They buy, sell and trade clothing, accessories, shoes and have an amazing beauty line where the tween can create their own lotion, bath goods fizzie powder mixtures or bath bombs. Very cool place. Their website is www.shoptweenscene.com. Green tween and where pink is green is their motto. The kids love this place.
