It’s great that you have the time to do that and a quality thrift store near by. I just looked up the closest thrift store, goodwill, etc near me, and it’s 40 minutes away in a bad neighborhood. I can’t be bothered with that to *maybe* save a few thousand a year.

If a child is wearing through pants fast enough that you constantly have to replace them why on earth would you keep buying NEW clothing? It's horrible for the environment and your bank account.
You can see my response to OOF about thrift stores in my area.

We actually always recycle our Patagonia and North Face gear when it’s too ragged to donate (the stores actually take it), and I’m betting the environmental impact of my veganism more than offsets tossing some children’s clothing.

I had it delivered to my door without doing much of anything, and my time is pretty valuable.

The mall closest to me has two department stores - Nordstrom and Bloomingdales. And I’m awful about looking at prices before I bring things to the register.

164 is not a bad price for the items. Im not completely crazy about any of the items...nothing really stands out. You get a box once a month?

This was our first box for YDS. Any chance your mall rat teen would like to style him 😂?

ETA: I generally would spend $140 or so on a pair of shoes and a fleece, so my feeling was I got the other 8 items for $24.

Facebook marketplace, craigslist, ebay, etc. are also good options for good quality clothes at really cheap prices.

My 14 year old would be ecstatic about those items. But he likes shopping and picking out his stuff.
Honey, I'm the original one-eyed chicklet in the kingdom of the blind, 'cause at least I admit the world makes me nuts.
