How do you save money on clothes and shoes for your family?
I speak as a person without kids, but I'll give this a shot anyway, using my memory of the perspective I had when I was a kid.  My advice is, if the kids are young enough to not care much, don't be afraid of the thrift store.  My parents got a bunch of clothes from the thrift store as I was growing up (around elementary school age) and I didn't care at all.  When I got to be older, (middle school age) shopping at Target and K-mart didn't seem bad either.  By the time the kids are old enough to really care beyond, they are probably old enough to get their own part-time jobs and get their own clothing. I however, am probably naive, as I still care little for such things, and judging from popular culture, most care about them a great deal.
