School Clothes Shopping

I would call the stores and ask them what sales they have going on. Also ask what day they do their markdowns. If you go on a Thursday and Tuesday is markdown day, you could save more by waiting a few days. I ALWAYS shop clearance and sale merchandise. If you have time, which is key, you can look through the racks carefully and come up with some great deals! I went to Gap the other day and got 14 items for 38 bucks! It took some time to sort through what I didn't need/want and to find the right sizes, but was well worth it! You can also ask if they have any current coupons/sales ads and how to go about getting them. Good luck!

If you text "TV" to "famous" it will send you right back a 20% off in-store coupon for Famous Fottwear. I did it, it works!

I saw a commercial for Old Navy and their uniforms (Kakhis and Polos). I think the polo's were $5 and kakhis $10. Not sure when that sale ends.

Sign up for the Children's place's weekly emails and you'll get their ads which sometimes have coupons on them too. I needed a dress-up shirt for my son and googled "Children's Place Coupons" and got a 15% off coupon that I printed offline. So try that with all the stores you plan to go to.

I just got an email coupon for The Children's Place that is good in-store only. Its good Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Justice For Girls also has 40% off coupon out right now that is good online or instores. Make sure all of the stores have your email address and home address. I never was comfortable giving out this info, but once I did, the coupons started flooding in.

Just Google the store name on on-line with the word "coupon" and see what comes up that is current. For the younger children you may ck out Gymboree too. I heard this week from a Mom they are having and incredible sale right now and of course I would ck out Target for the young ones too.
Have fun and good luck finding the coupons, they always help.

The last thing you probably need is another credit card. However, I applied for one at Old Navy to get the 15% off, and now they send me all kinds of coupons.

Check the flyers in the Sunday paper. J C Penney frequently has ads with coupons attached.

It's been a few years, but when the girls were younger Target was always a great place to find decent quality clothes at a reasonable price (of course some of their stuff wasn't of quality - I had the same problem at JCP)
