Kids are growing nonstop, and as a result, always in need of new clothing.  Over time, it can start to add up to the same amount as a second mortgage! It’s in your best interest to try saving as much as you can. After all, you still need money left over to able to buy shoes and clothing for yourself too!  

Here are some of the best strategies for finding the best deals on clothing for your kids.

Shop After Holidays

Often the best deals are right after a holiday.  It doesn’t matter if it’s Christmas or Labor Day, you’ll find deals.  Sometimes stores mark their prices down as much as 80% from the original price.

Since stores want to get rid of their old inventory at the end of a season following a holiday, you’ll likely find great deals.  Don’t forget to check their online deals too which can often be exclusive to their website.

Get Crafty With Coupons

Don’t be afraid to save all those coupons you accumulate.  Each little bit that you can save adds up. Sign up for mailing lists with stores so that you have access to the latest discounts and coupon codes.

Sometimes you can combine coupons with clearance items which is when the savings really start to begin,

Be Open-Minded

Sometimes you never know what you’re to find on any given day, so it’s important to stay open-minded.  If you go in with a very specific item stuck in your mind, you may overlook a great deal.

Try to focus on scanning all of the inventory on the sales rack.  You can also think ahead with kids and buy shoes that will fill in a few years.  If you keep this up, the less you’ll have to go emergency shopping when they have a growth spurt.  You’ll always have something ready to go that fits.

Shop Online

Often the best deals are online.  Not only can you find a lower price, but you don’t have to deal with the hassle of parking or crowds or even leaving your house!

Try to shop on websites that offer free shipping and returns.  You never know if something might not fit. While some stores might offer getting cash back in a store, it may not always be possible.  It’s best having the peace of mind knowing that you can return it without any hassles.

Anticipate Sales

Try to keep up with the latest sales going on at your favorite stores.  You can either ask the store directly or do a google search. Knowing about the sale ahead of time means having the first pick on the good stuff.  With a little organization, you can arrive before the crowds and snag the best deals!
