Budget Parenting- When & Where to buy Kids Stuff?

For example, assuming all previous clothings have been acquired before birth, in Nov of his/her birth year, parents should be shopping for Size 18-24 months during Black Friday Sales. Move the Month Bar on the chart to suit your child’s birth month. Kids grow so fast! Their need for new clothes and stuff is relentless.
