Good place in NoVA for used kids clothing?
kastle

I've searched my local Goodwill(s)---7 Corners & Rt. 50--and they barely have any clothes under 2T size.
I'm running low on hand-me-downs and I don't see the point of buying new clothes for Sprout to crawl around the dirt/grass.
Anyone have any suggestions of consignment shops, thrift stores, etc?

May 15th: 529 Kids Consign, 9:30am to 1:30pm, Mystique Jewelers, 211 The Strand, next to Chadwicks Restaurant. Get your kids wardrobe ready for the summer with designer brands. There will be activities for the kids.I do a lot of my shopping at Unique Thrift Store in Rockville. I know they have one in Merrifield and I'm not sure if there are others in NOVA as well. I believe that on Mondays, everything is 25% off. If you get their free loyalty card, you can also get 25% off on Thursdays.
I like their store because there's a big selection and it's pretty well organized by size. I think some of their prices can be a bit high for a thrift store but they are still usually cheaper than buying new. The stores usually have a pretty high turnover of stuff so I typically go every 3-4 weeks because there's new stuff coming in all the time. Also, when you sign up for their loyalty card, you'll get emails for their 50% off days. That's when you can really get the bargains.
The Annandale United Methodist Church sale is my favorite of the consignment sales. Quite possibly because it is close to where I live, but it's also big without being massive.
Craigslist - I always see lots of clothing for sale there.
Yard sales, scan the ones in your area for boys clothing - they are usually dirt cheap.
Have you gone to the new Goodwill at Annandale and 50? It's really nice. They don't have a huge kids selection but it's the nicest Goodwill I've gone too. Across 50 on Annandale, Joseph's Coat usually has a large selection of kids clothing.
I will say this, it is easy to find baby clothing in great condition, it is much harder to find toddler clothing. This year I've bough a lot more things new for DD (usually Carters when they have a big coupon weekend). I've also bought a size up on the hopes she'll get two years out of it. (She's currently 2T but I bought 3T).
have you tried craigslist, ebay and joining your local freecycle group?
I discovered Little Lords and Ladies consignment in Chantilly last week and they have a TON of clothing. From what I saw, the prices were cheap and the clothes were in great condition. It's in a business park near the intersection of 50 and 28.
