Shopping ahead really does pay off.
I have never been one to hit the clearance rack and find something for the girls for the next year. Well, Old Navy had a ton of things on clearance today and I kid you not they were....75% OFF. I bought the girls: ~2 shorts for next summer ~Lauren a dress for next summer ~Hailey a skirt and Katelyn a skirt for next summer ~and me a pair of pajama pants all for $20 I could not believe it. and it would have only been $10 if I wouldn't have thrown in something for me..lol Just had to share! And just think how I missed out, all those years without Old Navy..now I am 10 minutes from it. ahh, life is good.
Oooh, I'm jealous!! I buy the kids' clothes online from The Children's Place, and they usually have great sales at the end of the season! We don't have an Old Navy nearby (I actually had to tell my mom not to send me an ON gift card for my birthday, I can't believe there isn't one here!!) but I got adorable hats last winter for a couple dollars.
I LOVE clearance rack shopping! I hit the clearance racks first wherever I go, whether they are having a sale or not.
Good for you! That's my favorite thing to do! In fact, I've been shopping away for next Summer! I found a bunch of cute things at Kohls for next Summer for $2.00! Love a deal! Also, Gymboree has had great Summer clearance. I love a good deal!
Lucky you! We have to drive almost an hour to get to Old Navy!
I just went to TjMaxx and we bought a ton of stuff all marked $1-$2! We bought tops and skirts and skorts for next year. I have never had that great a deal. Even the cashier couldn't believe it. We even bought some things for my daughter's friend and my neice. Check out TjMaxx---I guess they are unloading the summer stuff to make way for fall.
Macys! They had everything for $4.99 + a percentage off. I got Helen aobut 7 or 8 outfits and a suit for my son four a little over 49 bucks! You really can't beat a sale a Macys ... Our TJ Maxx had nothing worthwhile . Ame
That's awesome!! What sizes are you buying Lauren for next summer? I want buy some stuff for Raya but I really have no clue what size to buy. Right now she's wearing mostly 3-6 months stuff, but most of her cotton pants are 12 months and are almost too small.
well, I am going by what both the other girls were wearing when they were 1. I am buying 18 month clothes. Lauren is still in mostly 0-3 month clothes right now and some 3-6 months.
That's great! End of season/clearance prices are awesome, especially when you have four kids!
