You will have better luck looking in your local neighbourhood. There are large charities that run shops, selling very cheaply good quality clothing that has been donated. (Where I am these are Salvation Army, St Vincent de Paul and Smith Family). Many churches also run Opportunity Shops or occasional fairs, to recycle good donated clothing to those who need them. You do not have to belong to the church to go to these.
In addition, many communities have commercial shops selling recycled goods, including clothing, furniture, prams etc. These might be around the same price as the charity ones.
Pre-owned clothing is a good choice for small babies, as they always outgrow them long before wearing them out. Once they get to crawl it is a bit harder, as the clothes suffer more wear and tear; by school age there is less damage being done but they are still outgrowing them fast. Until very recent times, all children wore clothes handed down from older siblings; it is only in today’s world of smaller families and only children that this tradition has gone out of fashion. It is still a great idea.
You can help your friend paint and re-line a bassinet or cot, to make it special for her baby; encourage her to pass on the things as her bub outgrows them. This may also help her feel better about her situation. (Some charities will probably be happy to help her out for free, too, but she might not feel good about that).
Good luck to both of you and the new little one.
