It's a new school year so it's that time again to shop for new clothes (new styles or new sizes!), shoes and gear...Back to school can be so expensive, but it doesn't have to be. Most stores have to be competitive this time of year and the results are great deals, sales and special promos. There are many places online to get children's clothes for a lot less whether it is through a daily deal site or using promo codes - I can usually find much better deals online than in the actual stores.
Here are my top 5 picks to save this school year:
I discovered Thredup last year as a way to get rid of all the out-grown but still in great condition kids clothes that were piling up in the closet. It was a very quick and easy way to give a box of clothes away (and my boxes went really fast!). Then I decided to try picking a few boxes for myself and found a few boxes that sounded great - when they arrived I was so excited! And so was my 2-year old who jumped for joy then proceeded to try everything on... all at once! This was WAY more fun than going to the thrift shop and digging through tables and racks covered with not-so-exciting used clothes.
Thredup is super easy to use... and it's FREE to sign up - and if you sign up with my link here (http://www.thredup.com/CarmichaelNitzky69564) you will get a $10 credit. All you'll ever pay for basic swapping is $5 + ($10.95) shipping per box of kids clothes. At more than ten items per box, that's like $1.50 per item. No hidden charges. No recurring fees. And they will arrive in about 2-3 days!
2. Cookie's Kids - the #1 source for school uniformsIf your kids go to a school that requires a uniform or a set dress code, then Cookie's Kids Department Store is the best place to find incredible deals! They even make it easy for you to get the right uniforms with their School Locator Link
