Of course you want to send the kids back to school with new shoes, clothes and school supplies, but what can you do if the funds are just not as avail- able as they once were? Get creative! Here are some ideas to get your cre- ative juices flowing. • ThredUP. With this amazing website, America's busy families are exchanging their kids' clothing online. Here's how it works: Go to http://www.thredUP.com to register. The company will send 10 empty boxes to you. While you're waiting for them to arrive, start browsing the website for boxes of clothing that interest you. Once you find a box of clothes you want, you will pay $13 for shipping and the person who post- ed that box will send it to you. Then you list a box of clothing you want to swap. Once your box is chosen, you are notified, and you ship it for free. ThredUP even will arrange for UPS to pick up the box from your home at the time you specify. Membership at thredUP is free; premium is $29.99 per year. There are thousands of boxes full of clothing just waiting for kids like yours to wear to school this fall. • Consignment stores. Most areas have specialty consignment shops just for children's clothing. Once Upon a Child, a national chain, offers once-loved items, many with tags still attached because they never have been worn. You can find locations at http://www.Once- UponAChild.com/loca- tions.aspx. Mary Hunt • Uniforms. More and more schools are moving to school uniforms.

More and more stores are stocking them, including Costco. Be sure to check clearance racks in late September and early Octo- ber, after school has started. You also can buy uniforms used. Check children's con- signment stores frequently. If your school doesn't have a uniform resale night already, organize one yourself. Have parents bring outgrown uni- forms to swap or sell. • Neighborhood swap. Everyday Cheapskate You could have a neighbor- hood swap organized by next weekend. Consider the clothes you have to swap, and multiply that by all the hous- es in your neighborhood. Get the neighbors together. Serve some wine and cheese and just see how creative you will be. It'll be good for your pocketbook and fun for everyone. Golf class tees off Wednesday at Wilcox Oaks Director of Golf Bill DeWildt.
