What’s On Sale

The most notable trend in children’s apparel sales and promotions this week is that many sites already have great deals on Holiday lines. Try the Hanna Andersson dress sale, 40% dressy styles at Crazy 8, 40% off Uptown Holiday at Janie & Jack, or take advantage of the upcoming Circle of Friends sale at Gymboree and get at least 30% off.

Late fall and early winter lines are also 50 - 75% off at most sites. Although it hasn’t even snowed yet in most parts of the country, you can easily outfit your children for the entire winter at deep discounts right now.

Summer and swimwear can still be found for unbelievable prices, e.g. 80% off.

So, don’t be lured by “new” lines. Stick to the sales, buy quality, plan to re-sell, and “outfit your kids for virtually free”.
