Looking for Gently Used School Uniforms

You may check with the school. My kids school requests that used, but still usable, uniforms be brought to the school for other students to use. They offer them to the student's families for $1 per piece. It helps the school raise a little bit of money but also helps the families A LOT. If the school doesn't have a program like this it's always a great idea to suggest it.

Also, Walmart and Meijer both sell school uniforms in navy blue and tan. They run between $7 and $12 per piece. Usually they're French Toast brand, but I think there's one other. I always buy my daughter's uniforms there and they do great. The uniforms hold up very well to her active lifestyle and thanks to the adjustable straps on the uniform dresses, they even last through most of her growth spurts througout the year. Both also sell uniform shirts in white, light and dark blue, and sometimes burgandy. (I think it depends on the schools near by because my sister lives in KY and her Meijer and Walmart also carried yellow... which went with a local private school.)

i dont know where ur at but every town has a uniform shop or the next town over if ur in ah small one. Plus go to the pta meetings and c if anyone wants to sell there childs outgrown ones or ask the school office about it. sure if ur requried to wear em they hv resources.

There is a place in Westerville at the corner of Shrock & Rt. 3. By the hardware store. It is in that little strip. You can't see it from the street. I don't know the name anymore. I took some of my scrubs there to sell. They have all kinds of uniforms.
Hopefully what you need.
PS- I just got home from errands & happened to see a place called School Days Uniforms (I think that's right). It's in Gahanna. On the corner of Stygler & Agler. Advanced Auto is the anchor of the strip mall. I have no idea of their prices, I just passed it & remembered your request.

Hi K., I know it has been a long time since you posted this request but I wanted to tell you that I just heard of this thing a few days ago and I just checked it out today. It is called freecycle.org, it is a place where you can post things that you want to get rid of or things you are looking for. It is stuff in or near your area, and completely free...plus it keeps all those things from just being thrown away and ending up in landfills!!

So, maybe when they start to outgrow the last ones you got them you can try this out!?!?

Good Luck and Happy Trading!! :)

K.,

Yes, definitely try the re-sale shops by where you live - I've seen some for our area parochial schools at the Once Upon a Child by me - so check out the ones near where you kids go to school. Also, like the other Mom said, most schools offer some sort of used uniform sale - our school does it in June, right after school gets out - so check in to that too. There was a place in Dublin - in the plaza where the Dublin AMC theatre is - that sold used unforms (like scrubs, school unforms, etc). Don't know if it's still there, but that might be another option depending on where you live.

My SIL finds school uniforms for her son at the local thrift stores. I don't know where you live or what your uniforms are, but it is an idea. Also, the uniforms the kids wear where I live are available at K-Mart and they have the "end of the season sales". Best of Luck :)
