First Stop - Web Search

It is highly unlikely that you are going to find a brick and mortar store in your area that has a good selection of cheap organic baby clothes. The quickest way to see what is available is to do a web search on Google, Yahoo, or one of the other search engines.

Some keywords to search for are:

Organic baby
Organic clothes
Organic baby clothes
Affordable organic baby clothes
Used organic baby clothes

When you find sites with organic baby clothes, be sure to check the sale pages just like you would if you were shopping in the local department store.

eBay Is a Great Resource for Cheap Organic Baby Clothes

As you might exepect, eBay is a great resource for used organic baby clothing. Babies grow so fast that the clothes, especially in the smaller sizes, may only be worn once or twice. Many times you will find organic baby clothes in perfect condition with the tags still attached.

Recent auctions included:

Hanna Andersson organic outfit for less than fifteen dollars
Two Baby Gap rompers for ten dollars
Under the Nile Bunting for less than five dollars

Always take the time to read the seller's feedback and make note of complaints. Why was the buyer complaining? Does it seem like something that is likely to be repeated? Make sure you understand the sellers terms and conditions for refund, as well.

Amazon

Amazon is another resource you may want to consider. While there is not usually a large selection of organic baby clothes, the items that they do have tend to be affordable. There is also less of a risk when you are buying from Amazon because the clothing is new and comes from the retailer.

An added benefit is that some items include free shipping.

Other Resources Online

There are small websites online that carry affordable as well as gently used organic clothing. Cheap, organic baby clothes are often found on these sites:

Local Resources

It will often take a little more time but you can find local sources for organic baby clothes that are within your budget.

Garage Sales

Garage sales are a hit or miss kind of activity when you are looking for something specific. To increase your chances of finding organic baby clothes, try to find garage sales in neighborhoods where the population is made up of young, middle to upper income couples. Read the garage sale ads in the paper to see what the sellers have listed specifically. You may even find organic toys.

Thrift Store

The thrift store is an unlikely place to find organic baby clothes in a large number, but you can often pick up a piece or two if you are going anyway. Sometimes, if you get to know the owner or manager, you can let them know what you are looking for and leave your phone number. They can call you when something comes in that you may want.

Social Groups

Ask around at your church, your play groups, and day care to see about getting together a group of moms that would be willing to trade out grown items of clothing. You could arrange to get together on a quarterly basis and “shop” from each other.

You can find anything if you have enough patience. If you check all the possibilities regularly, you will be able to dress your baby in organic clothing affordably and easily.
