Looking Good Resale Shops/Thrift Stores for Purchasing Children's Clothes.

Good morning! I am a long time reader and 1st time poster. I am wondering if any of you moms out there know of any good resale shops or thrift stores to purchase clothes for my 5 year old and my 8 year old. With $ being a little tight around my house, I could use all the help I can get. Any input would be so greatly appreciated!! ***OOPS*** I forgot to mention I am in the East Houston/Pasadena are, but I can get anywhere.

L.,

One good one I've found is Young & Restless off of 610 and Ella. They have clothes, books and toys and the people who run it are really nice and helpful.
Hope this helps,

I found a place located at Memorial / Tully Road - I believe it's called Second Chances. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!

I started shopping there when our daughter was 18 months and have continued shopping there. Because of the area of town it's located in you get a lot of designer clothes for nothing - some with the tags still on them.

You can also put your clothes in resale and any monies made can either be paid to you or put on account and used against any purchases.

You can also locate other children's resale shops via www.starsresale.com

You didn't mention what part of town you're in... I use Once Upon a Child at Willowbrook and I know of another similar place near Champions (I think, haven't been there yet). I just now Googled "children resale clothing houston, tx" and several came up. There are always lots of garage sales this time of year, too.

I go to Pennywise in Stafford--clothes are 1.50. Also there is Super Saving Thrift Store on Dashwood by Sharpstown Mall. It is a huge store and they have deals where certain color tags are on sale. Lots of clothes so you need time to dig if you go. They're open 10am-8pm everyday.
