If you need to stock up on summer clothes for kids before school’s out, the Memorial Day Sales may be a great opportunity. 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!
