It is all marketing, people! You can shop all year and then clean out the dressers and try on the newer stuff and make it fun without being sucked into the big marketing ploy of "back to school" sales.Deannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3450568642061923643.post-76366073698218839602008-08-17T17:31:00.000-04:002008-08-17T17:31:00.000-04:00Yard sales are also a great way to save money. Just yesterday I picked up and almost new outfit for my 4 year old DD for 50 cents! If you have the time, I highly suggest sales at churches, too. More things in one spot, so you don't have to go all over town.Stephanie(axpo23)http://www.blogger.com/profile/13897862331124397921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3450568642061923643.post-9330731114809601092008-08-17T09:46:00.000-04:002008-08-17T09:46:00.000-04:00I am lucky enough to live by the gap outlet in Hebron, Ky. You really have to check things for damages, stains, etc. However I find some really great things there! On friday I got a pair of Old Navy jeans for $1.99! Now that is an unusual price( and they were perfect!) , they are usually $9.99 .. Still a bargain, and sometimes $4.99. You never know what you will find! I also got uniform shirts for .99 one day! They usually have them <BR/>4 for $10. I love it there!delahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10343108653358592543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3450568642061923643.post-79209156733660613462008-08-15T09:00:00.000-04:002008-08-15T09:00:00.000-04:00I am surprised no one has mentioned Goodwill. They have new clothes given to them on a weekly basis from retailers and if you go on the day they are delivered you can get new clothes for CHEAP! Check out my blog www.pennywisepayload.blogspot.com to see what I got. I usually go there first and then do the clearance racks at stores if I can't find what I am looking for. There are a lot of Goodwills in Texas.Brendanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3450568642061923643.post-7110618574328952102008-08-13T18:01:00.000-04:002008-08-13T18:01:00.000-04:00I shop the clearance racks! We live in Texas, so the weather never gets really cold so my kids can wear a lot of the "summer" clothes for most of the year. We also will layer just in case the weather does turn cold for a day or two :)In Christ's Armshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04543288016506226946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3450568642061923643.post-30336035094054694002008-08-12T12:24:00.000-04:002008-08-12T12:24:00.000-04:00The only other thing I do is buy the clearance for the upcoming year. I went through clothes for my oldest son and realized he needed nothing but shoes for school. I was so excited that I didn't have to spend any now because I had already taken care of the shopping!Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11038851025691438482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3450568642061923643.post-9788074227704426452008-08-12T09:37:00.000-04:002008-08-12T09:37:00.000-04:00Thanks for the rebate info on Zout.
