I capitalize on the "handmedown" brand.

HECK yeah!
Don't turn up your nose at handmedowns! Kids rarely 'wear out' clothes before they out grow them. I've gotten stuff from my brother's wife and from my husband's sister. Because of their generosity we've spent a fraction of what other people we know have spent outfitting their kids.
Also I've recently discovered an online 'classifieds' where I put up a crib for sale, and it was sold within one hour of posting. I bought a Little Tikes workbench toy that retails for $30 for $10. There's TONS of ways to save $$$ when it comes to baby stuff.
