After giving birth, most first-time mums would agree that next to raising a child, saving money wherever possible becomes their top priority.
While you can’t skimp on childcare, medical bills, and food, there’s one aspect of raising a child where you can—at the least—trim down your expenses: clothing.
Here, an online baby clothes store in Singapore, OETEO shares some practical tips to save money on baby clothes.
7 Ways to Save on Baby Clothes
- Don’t buy clothes far in advance. It’s a common woe among mums that babies grow up way too fast. So, as any practical mum would, avoid buying baby clothes far in advance. You might forget about it and remember it only when they have already outgrown it.
- Shop in white. In terms of staples such as t-shirts, all-in-ones, socks, and underwears, buy them in plain white. Aside from the ease of bleaching them when stained, they can be passed down to the next baby, regardless of the gender.
- Don’t forget the neutrals. Having said this, you might as well shop in neutral colours and styles. Here, you’ll not be guilty as much if you buy more expensive clothes because you know it can serve its purpose even long after the first baby.
- Buy end-of-month. When you have to purchase big-ticket baby items—dresses, shoes, and polos—you might want to wait until end-of-month when stores have to meet their quotas. You never know, you might score great finds for as much as 50% off.
- Plan in advance. This may sound contradicting to the first point, but because you’re trying to get the most out of promos and sales, you’ll want to buy a size or two up to make sure that your baby will have enough clothes until another sale comes up.
- Shop online. Bookmark this site: www.oeteo.co. This online baby store in Singapore offers a wide range of apparels from dresses and rompers to onesies at discounted prices. Visit their outlet section for sale items and discounted bundles.
- Re-use Clothes. On top of all these, don’t ignore the power of hand-me-downs in terms of saving money. Save your first baby’s clothes for the next one. Your future self will thank you for storing all those clothes in the future.
