So here’s a few tips on clothes.

Sainsburys tu range is made by next. If you buy stuff from sainsburys when it’s 25% off it’s ok but even better to buy when its on sale and 25% of the sale price. I’ve done this for 4 years now.

Boots parenting club is great every £1 you spend on kids or baby you get 10 points so if you buy your car seat or something big you get money back. Their clothes are made by mothercare and most of their stuff comes from the same suppliers. Best Buys can be found online and instore at the sale rails. Buy a few sizes upto 12-18months and from then on buy the next size up.

Buy summer bits in winter and winter bits at the start of the summer.

Buying online or from primark can be risky for sizes as you might not get the size you expect and will pay for something different than you expected.

Also don’t forget charity shops and baby markets. Good condition clothes can be found and used for short periods of time.

After baby grows out of it all you can either keep it for next baby, sell it on via a baby market or fb or take it to cash for scrap fabric places usually at 50p a kilo.

That’s it for now
