I must admit I got pretty much all of the big stuff new 'cause they were gifts. But I still frequented the thrift store for clothes. I figured I could reuse anything if I had more children and, hey, they were paying. ;) I was a teacher at the time and I borrowed my hubby's polo shirts and paired them with basic maternity pants and skirts to save some money. We also didn't push the solids so I only had to make baby food purees for like a month before he started eating finger foods. And breastfeeding and cloth diapering are both easier than people would like you to think. Great article!
