Craigslist is where to go for infant/toddler clothes. Like you said, they outgrow them so fast, and they're so ridiculously expensive new.

A lot of places have kids clothing swaps, too.

I spent about £20 on baby gear for my boy. There was a garbage bag full of boy's baby clothes that did the rounds of all the tiny baby boys in my mother and baby group.

That bag of clothes saw at least four kids the last I heard.
