Hello Friend,

As a mom of 8 kids, I go through the kids clothing before I intentionally go to rummage sales looking for clothes. This is how I do it. A few days to a week before rummaging, I hand each older kid a printed out Seasonal Clothing Tracker.

They use a pencil to write how many they have of each Type of clothing or accessories they Have and write how many they have of each in the correct sections.

I go through the younger kids' clothing at the same time as the older kids are going through their own. I use a pencil to write what the younger kids have.

When I have all the papers, I look at the pages and write how many of each item we Need. My older kids wash their clothing once a week, so I like them to have at least seven or eight shirts, for example.

This Seasonal Clothing Tracker is available in my Etsy shop. It has instructions at the top of the page that says,

"Instructions for use: write person’s name, sizes and date. Get a pencil, go through all clothing (clean, dirty and in storage) and find items in this person’s size. Write down how many of each type in the “Have” section. Next write how many you need to get in the “Need” section."

As purchases are made, use a pencil to add that quantity to the “Have” section and erase that quantity from the “Need” section.

This helps me to plan what to buy at large kids clothing consignment sales or neighborhood rummage sales. I hope it will help you too.

Save time writing it out and get my Seasonal Clothing Tracker.
