Schools in most U.S. states will reopen this fall, if they aren't open already. That will be a relief in many ways for parents who can resume their own work lives once the kids are back in school. But for some, it raises a new problem: getting their kids out of their PJ's and back into some classroom-appropriate clothes. This is especially tricky in schools with uniforms, which can cost anywhere from $100 for a school wardrobe to over $100 per outfit.
However, for smart shoppers, there are ways around this cost. My latest Money Crashers article outlines several of them, including shopping secondhand, buying the minimum number of pieces, choosing cheaper stores when possible, shopping sales and clearance, sizing up, and making pieces last as long as possible.
