Baby and toddler clothes are super expensive!

DS is nearly a year old and is growing like a weed. Obviously I want to clothe my child. We don't have friends with children and family with children live overseas, so hand-me-downs is not an option.

Everywhere I look for clothes is so expensive! Surely children's clothing should be cheaper, given that it will only fit for a few months? I've tried supermarkets, but a a pair of trousers is like £10! The only affordable things I have found are the likes of PatPat, and I don't like the thought of using what I can only assume is fast fashion and child labour. It's horrible for the environment and human rights.

DS loves messy play and will typically wear 2 outfits per day (there is mud, paint, and food on everything...I don't mind stains, but draw the line if he's wet and sticky!), and we haven't got a tumble dryer, so need to line dry everything.

Where do you buy clothing for your kids?

Nutmeg in Morrison’s is pretty good - got three pairs of shorts for a fiver for DS recently. And the Asda bumper packs of clothes for kids are great value and not bad quality at all
