You get a whole row/pew (or two!!) to yourselves Sunday morning. That way, if you have to get up, your behind doesn't have to go in a non-related person's face. 
No leftovers!
As has already been mentioned, it's cheaper to buy a membership if you plan on going somewhere more than once.
Bigger kids buckle the smaller, so you don't have to contort yourself to reach the back of the van. (Then again, in a smaller family, you probably don't have to put little kids in the back of the van...)
Passing on socks and undies happen naturally. It's not gross.
You can make a whole cake or other dessert and not have to worry about eating too much of it yourself.
Always someone to read to or to read to you, and also always someone to play with.

It is much easier to take advantage of sales at clothing stores as the more kids we have the more likely it is that we will have a child that can fit into one the sizes that are left on sale.
Of course that works - but only when it's the child that actually NEEDS the clothes is the one that gets them! We typically never have any problems finding clothes for our 7 yo dd and 14 yo ds, but the 9 yo ds and 10 yo dd are a different story. Sure the 14 yo can pass clothes down to his younger brother and that would be great, but eldest child wears regular sizes and youngest ds wears huskies and is shorter.
More pictures for the scrapbook!
Blessings,
Garsy

I usually buy ahead a bit. That way between the new clothes set aside and the hand-me-downs they usually have enough to hold them over until I can find a good price. Although, my 9 year old is currently down to one good pair of jeans (he has nice khaki cargo pants for going out). I need to buy him more jeans and soon! I also need to buy new jeans for my eldest boy and soon eldest girl too. The other two are doing fine right now. Last year I bought the boys all these shirt sets for 3 and 7 dollars a set and cargo pants for all three boys for 5 dollars a piece. I was so thrilled!

This creeps me out when Poppa is sorting clothes. 
LOL, That is funny.
