@dirtybee has lost her orgasm: I WISH I had hand-me-downs when I was a kid! No siblings at all or cousins (cousins came way later). So my mom would buy designer stuff for herself and I was lucky to get her to take me to K-mart. And since I was a little overweight as a kid she would buy me ugly boys jeans since it was easier than shopping for short/fat girls jeans. Thank goodness for the times grandma took me shopping!
I actually now enjoy 2nd hand and thrift stores. Amazing, the brands you can sometimes find super-cheap!
If I had a kid, I think I would at least try to hit outlet mall sales for some decent name-brand deals. I do a lot of shopping there for myself now.
