The best deals are now, right after Christmas as they’re clearing out the racks for summer stuff.

Things like underwear and socks will last a long time.

Speaking of that... Land’s End sells socks for kids that are about indestructible. They don’t pill, don’t fade, don’t get mishapen and shrink after three washes. We’ve had socks from them that have lasted years and they have worn so thin that the threads are showing because the fuzz has worn off them, but no holes yet.

In all honestly, some of the quality of some of their clothes isn’t what it was before they sold out to Sears, but they still have great stuff and at great prices if you look at their overstocks, or can get to one of their *inlet* stores.

Thank you for the suggestions, I really appreciate it.

And, thank you SO MUCH for the ping! It would’ve been really hard to deal with going into the thrift stores and finding out about these regulations by realizing there was no more children’s section!

I know Kohl’s has AWESOME clearance sales, so I’ll probably go check out their racks. Looks like I’ll just have to be a little more creative, and plan a little more so I can take advantage of the sales! It would probably help if my youngest stopped growing like a weed (bypassing her older sister), but then again she’ll probably be in Junior’s sizes before too long now! :)
