Buying summer clothes in the fall? You must think I’m crazy. I have been doing this for years. I have four children and they are always out growing their clothes so quickly, so when I see a sale I can’t resist the urge to browse (and sometimes even buy) some items. Whether it is sandals, shorts, or even t-shirts. The thing to keep in mind when buying children’s clothing on sale is to make sure it will be in style the following year. T-shirt with sayings never go out of style and neither do plain colored shorts.

This weekend I went to Walmart and the Gap and they were having great sales on their children’s clothing. I was surprised to find items at the Gap for over half off their original prices. I went there and made a killing on shorts for my boys and summer dresses for my daughter. And as for Walmart they are always putting things on sale. Their Garanimal line is priceless. It’s already reasonably priced, but then when they mark it down your paying $2-$3 for an outfit. Now that’s what I’m talking about.

Buying for your kids doesn’t have to break you if you shop smart, and by that I mean thinking ahead and getting the best deals for your buck. When you think about it, the styles of children’s clothing don’t really change that much from season to season if you are shopping for things that will last. Let me know if you find out about any other stores that are having some good sales on children’s clothing.
