Baby Clothes on the Cheap

We are leaning toward short term emergency care for infants.  We're researching cribs this weekend, and, doing the same thing we were doing when we were expecting our daughter...hitting the thrift stores.

Yesterday, we picked up a number of baby clothing items, and wash cloths, for a grand total of $6.15.  A day soaking in a drop or two of detergent and color-safe bleach, and they're good as new.  A weekly visit to the thrift shop should do the trick.

  1. What a wonderful thing you do to care for these infants whose families are in crisis. You never know where these small ripples will lead and whose shores they will touch.

    Great idea to hit the thrift shop, too. Don't you just love all the deals available there? :-)

    Thanks for sharing at NOBH!
