Earn money from kids' clothes instead of throwing them away
Children outgrow clothes long before they wear out. The clothes taking up space in the cupboard can become money in your account and make another family happy.

Find what can be sold
Go through drawers and boxes and set aside everything that is whole and clean. Outerwear, shoes, quality brands and sets often sell well, but everyday trousers and bodysuits are in demand too.
Make it a small habit
List a few items every time your child changes size. Selling becomes a manageable routine rather than a big project, and clothes sell while they still match the season.
Spend it on the next size
Many parents use what they earn to pay for the next size. Over time that makes kids' clothes cheaper, and the clothes are used instead of becoming waste.
