    I love Marshalls. I was just there tonight and could have really used the $25 gift card : ) Thanks for the contest. I try to shop sales throughout the year. Marshalls really does have the best prices on kids’ clothes and Children’s Place has amazing sales.

    I shop clearance….Kohl’s has some nice things on clearance..some of my kids are still young enough thatI can buy a size or two ahead..

    thanks

    I use some of my daughters dresses for shirts as she grows too tall for them, but they still fit around her stomach. That way, I she gets to wear them longer.

  8. Heather

    I buy on clearance for her clothing. I have clothes for this winter that I bought at the start of the year that were way on clearance!!

    We layer clothes, and I pick a pallet for each girl, so that they can mix and match themselves, but I know they will always be close to matching.

    clearance, clearance, clearance. I never pay full price for anything. And I also use gift cards from all the survey sites I learned about from various blogs like this one!

    With a little organization and patience, I shop TJMaxx clearance racks to dress designer for a fraction of the cost:
    1. The best prices for clothing are usually found end of season, or off season. Shop for sweaters 75% off in the summer, and snag name-brand collared polo shirts and tees in the winter. So shop now and store for later. Just remember to do the growth and season “math” if you’ve got little ones that’ll outgrow a size by a season.
    2. Dig! Have the patience to go through every rack, even the circular rounders that I tend to miss when making my way down the clearance line. Don’t forget other size sections, too. I know I’m guilty of nestling a size 6 dress for later in the woman’s size 12 section and vice versa.

    Although my kids love TJMAXX, we’ve recently started shopping at the new Platos Closet (resale shop for teens). You can not only buy name brand designer clothes, purses, shoes and belts. You can SELL your items too!

    I love to shop the clearance racks ad use the Old Navy Weekly copons for some really inexpensive school clothes.

    Long-sleeve t-shirts are cute under t-shirts for boys and girls. Also spaghetti-strap tanks are cute over snug t-shirts and/or long-sleeve t-shirts. This creates creative styles and gets the most out of clothes before children outgrow them!

    I enjoy stretching my clothes budget so much I opened my own consignment store!! I love to “up-cycle” jeans and overalls with appliques and embroidery.

    I always receive gift cards for my birthday to Kohls from my in-laws. This year I didn’t really need anything for myself, so I ordered a bunch of stuff for my son in July. I used GC’s, free shipping codes and a 30% off code. I got 6 T-shirts and 3 pair of shorts. Then I went in to Kohls to get some nearly free underwear and socks.
