In the last two weeks (since finding out the sex of Number Two), I've spent about $350 on baby clothes. If you want serious bulk (what I've bought would about fill one of those hampers), you're going to spend a chunk no matter what you do (even at $3-5/item, it adds up quickly).
About half of what I've spent was at a resale shop, and half at Old Navy. Resale is great for the littlest sizes because kids wear them for such a short time that they don't show significant wear. I also like it because I am picky about colors (no red and navy for my baby boys--I like Easter egg colors), and you can select from clothes spanning multiple seasons and multiple brands in one place. My favorite score yesterday was a slew of those sacks for newborns at $3 apiece.
Old Navy is great for stocking up on basics like bodysuits and socks (8 pairs for $10 at the moment). I'm also a total sucker for their cloth crib shoes, which are available in a myriad of cute color combinations (plus the more standard tan, white and navy) and are on sale right now. And it's spring, so they have a lot in my favorite Easter-eggy colors.
Good luck!
