My kids grow like weeds, and while I am a dedicated bargain shopper and coupon clipper, I sometimes find it difficult to justify spending money on clothing my girls will only wear a few times. So I’ve recently added a new list of stores to my shopping rotation — children’s resale shops and consignment stores in Greater Boston!
Many of these stores have super cute, high quality clothes and shoes for a fraction of the price. And there are so many that sell only kids’ clothing! Here are some fantastic kids’ resale shops and consignment stores in the Boston area for the next time you need a new outfit for your littles.
