Froggy Frugal Tip: Spread out your family’s clothing, shoes and household expenses.
It’s funny how you sometimes don’t realize that you have a great tip because it happens to be every day life for you…well, this is one of those times.
Welcome to A Frog In My Soup! My name is Shera and I am the mom behind the "Soup" or the "Frogs" whichever you happen to be reading about. My hubby and I have been married for 18 years. We have 6 sons that frequent these pages: CJ (16), Salesman (13), Tater (12), J-Man (8) & The TwinkyDinks (or Tweebs depending on their mood) - Bugs & Monkey (6 & 6).

Great tips! I shop all year round too. I mostly utilize second hand stores and yard sales. I have two girls, most of my friends with boys say that it is more difficult to find used clothing for boys.
Regardless where they come from, I kind of set this standard for myself when I’m shopping at a place with great deals. It has to either be something I would have had to buy anyway or something that can replace something that I would buy anyway. And I do buy ahead to try to keep myself from getting in a situation where I have an emergency and have to spend more money than I normally would but I only buy one size ahead (for storage purposes). I also sell their clothes at one of the children’s consignment sales and usually make more than I spend on their whole seasons wardrobe. There closets are full of little gap dresses that I paid less than two dollars for.
Anyway, thanks so much for this post. It is right up my alley!
Blessings,
