New Outlook on Shopping
by Julie
When Will was a newborn, I loved spending all of our money on adorable, overpriced, incredibly soft baby clothes. (I know he really appreciated it). A few shocking credit card statements later, I (my husband) decided to change my mentality on baby clothes. My new outlook on shopping for Will is:
1) Don’t spend more on his clothes than my own. That means no more Kissy Kissy, Hannah Anderson, and Ralph Lauren.
2) I will never again save a nice outfit for a special occasion. Before you know it, that special occasion never came, and it’s too late, because he is no longer that size.
3) I will wait until items go on sale.
You are guaranteed to find a good sale at Carters, and Old Navy. Check out Will’s latest wardrobe from Old Navy. You would never know each item cost $8.00 or less! He’ll be sporting these clothes all winter!
Where do you shop to find good deals on baby clothes?

I saved some of Jason clothes that he would love
Consignment, Goodwill, Thrift stores
Our baby isn’t here yet but hen stocking up on winter goods for him I went to all the thrift stores. The most I have spent on an item was $5/6. (I got his going home outfit from target new, and we’ve received tons of new clothes as gifts). At thrift stores I can fin tons of infant/baby clothes brand new with the original tags still attached. Baby’s grow so fast and the family’s donate the clothes.. Then I get an amazing deal.
Congrats on your pregnancy! I’ve heard consignment stores are great.
Kohl’s!! On-line or in store.

And Costco. I buy all their pajamas at Costco– the rest at Kohls.
Costco is a great idea! I’ve never looked at the kid’s section before.
I have at least 2 or 3 of those outfits from Old Navy– love their stuff and great deals! I usually wait for a 40% off sale at Carter’s (which they have often) and buy basics like sleepers and white onesies.
I also lucked out with tons of hand-me-downs from my sister!
hand-me-downs are the best!
It’s fun to shop but if I am going to buy a nice outfit I make sure and get it in a size she can grow into so we can get lots of use out of it. We are wearing 2 T coats and pj’s now 🙂
Lucy is getting so big!
Keep shopping for Kissy Kissy and Hanna Andersson (and lots of other designer brands) but get it from Moxie Jean, a Chicago-based online consignment store. Prices start at $5 or $6 and shipping is always free on orders of $50 or more. You’ll love it, I guarantee it (and we back that up with a full money-back guarantee).
