Happy Memorial Day!
If you need to stock up on summer clothes for kids before school’s out and summer activities are in full swing, the Memorial Day Sales may be a great opportunity to pick up last minute bathing suits, flip flops, and other every day basics.
In addition to the sales below, check your local newspaper ads for specials in your area. Many stores are offering 15 – 30% off your purchase (some including both original and sale-priced items). As an alternative, wait a few weeks, and the same merchandise will be discounted to clear out Summer and make room for Fall (already!).
Specials and sales to consider this week include: Mini Boden. Buy 3, Get 1 Free sale; Pumpkin-Patch Mid-Season sale and clearance 40-60% off; Gymboree Memorial Day Sale; Garnet Hill $10 and under sale; Nordstrom Women & Children’s Sale; Strasburg Children’s Memorial Day Sale; Naartjie extra 30% off Sale; Talbots extra 25% off sale; and Gap’s new 4-in-1 shopping!
