Ok, so it is no big secret I have a love affair with Old Navy. Their clothes last forever, are priced really well, and are really cute! I have clothes from Old Navy I bought back in Middle School that are still holding strong!

Their jeans are my absolute favorite. They are comfy and fit me perfectly. And best part is they are only 30 bucks! I have bought jeans from JCP, AE, and other high priced places that cost 50 or 60 dollars. They didn't last more than a year. The AE jeans lasted a whole week. I was sooo mad! I paid all that money to wear them a week before they got a huge rip in them all the way up the inside leg! Old Navy however, I have had the same jeans for years, since at least freshman year of college, which although was only 4 years ago, thats a pretty long time in jean years!

Ok, so why am I loving on Old Navy today you ask? Well, first of all, they have OldNavyWeekly.com This website has great deals on it once a week. From coupons for $75 off $100 on down. You can't get better than that. Especially since you can get sooo much at Old Navy for 100 buckaroos.

Secondly, there is a blog called From Dates to Diapers that is giving away 9 coupons that are $65 off $100. You should go to : http://www.fromdatestodiapers.com/ and enter!!

And because the picture didn't show up on my last post, I will try again

So, the blog I follow, Kelly's Korner is talking about how to dress for less. I thought I would write about how to dress your kids for less.

First there is the Just Between Friends Consignment Sales. They are amazing, well the larger ones are. They have toys, clothes, halloween costumes, books, nursery decor, maternity clothes, baby gear, everything you can think of. Sadly, they are not everywhere, but they are in a lot of states. To find out if there is one near you, go to http://www.jbfsale.com/home/

Here are a couple outfits I have bought at the JBF sale:

This Santa outfit was $2

This snowsuit was $1.50, the dog was not included ha!

They have them twice a year, in the spring and fall. I have gotten a lot of clothes for my son there, and my niece and nephew have gotten a lot of their clothes there as well. I can spend $100 and get 4 giant Ikea bags full of clothes and toys. I have never spent over $20 on a whole outfit for my son yet. You have to look at the clothes because although everything is supposed to be gently used, there are always a few things that have stains or rips on them. But most everything is in really good condition! I bought my son's electric swing there on half off day for $15!!! Originally it had been $75!

Then there is Goodwill. Still used clothes, but at my son's age, nothing is worn that long anyway. Again you have to look for stains, but Goodwill is pretty good at sorting through things. You can also sometimes find good clothes for yourself as well. My sister got a really nice wool peacoat from Goodwill this past winter for $20, originally it had been $120, thats $100 off.

This outfit came from Goodwill, it was $0.25!! There were 3 like this, with differernt designs. I spent less than a dollar and got 3 outfits! Yeah buddy!

Now, if second hand clothes aren't your style, then there are always good sales going on at Old Navy. I love this store, right now until well, tomorrow, their jeans are only $19, normally they are $30, which still isn't bad. In high school, silver tabs were the rage, and those suckers were almost $50! Crazy!

Also there is always JCPenneys. That store is always having sales, you should never have to pay full price on anything there! And they also send out $15 dollar off coupons. If you are a cardholder, which I am not, but my grandma is, they also have great perks. For example, you want a family picture done? Well, with the card you can avoid those dumb sitting fees. And they also always have coupons for portrait sheets too, just look in one of those parenting magazines.

Well, these are my tips for cheap shopping. Hope this helps a few of you save a buck or two!!
