How to Online Shop for Back to School Clothes Cheaply
STEP 1
Look through last year's school clothes and have the child try on anything that seems as though it may not fit anymore. Put these aside for selling or donating. Notice the gaps in the wardrobe, whether they be in the categories of long sleeve shirts, fleece jackets, turtlenecks, sweaters or corduroy pants. Also, reflect on what the child usually wears versus what he refuses to wear. Otherwise, you may invest in ten sweaters only to notice that he never wears any of them.
STEP 2
Organize or streamline your needs. Narrow down and focus on the categories and sizes you will target. Lean toward the large sizes; for example, if the child is size 10, search for size 10 to 12 rather than size 8 to10. Write these categories and sizes down or keep them in mind while shopping online.
STEP 3
Search through Ebay, using keywords that relate to your category and size, keeping in mind these tips. Favor sellers that allow you to make an offer, provide free shipping or combine shipping costs. Look for lots (can be typed in as a search term); this is usually a shipping bargain, and you don't have to buy, for example, one long sleeve shirt at a time.
STEP 4
Note the condition of the pre-owned clothing and aim for very good to excellent. Also, always note the seller's rating and make sure it is high in order to ensure a dependable transaction.
STEP 5
Realize that you can search according to location (local sellers can mean lower shipping) as well as by lowest price plus shipping. Bookmark your favorite seller's stores for future reference.
STEP 6
Google your target purchase to find other online stores that may offer free or low shipping, or simply bargain or outlet specials. These may include Target, Children's Place, Gap, REI, Altrec, Lands End, L L Bean and others; check for sales regularly. It often helps to wait to go back-to-school shopping until October or November.
STEP 7
Click through the Babies and Kids category on Craigslist for local sellers of gently used children's clothing. This can result in some great finds, especially for younger children.
