Frugal Julia Roberts
Yes Julia Robert is planning to be more frugal with her new baby.
According to
Easier Lifestyles
I know I use a lot of hand me downs and when my boys were born, alot of people gave their kids old clothes as well I used my oldest sons. I spent a lot of time in my local twins resale shop.
I tend to buy higher qualify stuff for my oldest because I know 2-3 kids will be wearing the clothes.
The 'Pretty Woman' actress - who is expecting her third child with cameraman husband Danny Moder in the autumn – is determined to be more frugal after splashing out when twins Phinnaeus and Hazel were born in November 2004.
A source is quoted by Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "Julia spent a lot when the twins were born.
According to

"She kept most of what she needed from Phinnaeus and Hazel. The rest she picked up from friends and she has even been in a few charity shops

How much does clothing really cost?
Take your favorite shirt.
Do you remember how much you paid for it?
Now how often do you wear it?
A simple formula of price paid/how often you wear it equals the true cost of the clothing.
Have you ever done that? Most people don't JD at Get Rich Slowly/ did for a favorite pair of pants. I never did either, but thought I would try it out.
I have had a favorite winter jacket that cost $150 that I probably wear 5 times x 15 weeks a year. I have had the jacket for 4 years now. It is still in good condition. The cost per wear is about 40 cents. If I keep it more years, the cost will go down.
For kids, jackets. My kids get new ones each year due to them growing However I am not going to spend $150 on a winter coat for them. I think the most I have spent is $25 at consignment store since the cost would be roughly 33 cents per wear. If the jacket can be hand me down, the cost goes down even more.
The next time you pick up a nice shirt or pants that might be a little higher than what you usually spend, think of how many you will wear them and calculate the cost.
