Clothing

When I started to purchase clothing for Malia while I was pregnant I realized that baby clothes are way more expensive than they should be. I mean some stores charge $20.o0 for a little baby shirt! Ridiculous! I have found ways to save money while still dressing your baby cute!

Ross: Ross has some good deals on things but you have to know what you are looking for. You can get great deals on Carter clothes. DO NOT try to find cute dress's at ross. I mostly go to ross for onsies or pants.

Gymboree: Twice a year gymboree has a grab sale where you can get dress's for only $5.00. I bought a bunch of summer things at this sale in December. I got 6 hats, one dress, a matching shirt and pant set, and a swim suit. The end total was only $20.00

Buy off Season: The key to getting really cute stuff that is normally expensive is to buy off season. Recently I decided to start looking for Malia's winter coats for next year. I got her a purple coat that is adorable. Normally $100.00 it was at an upscale boutique I got this adorable coat for only $20.00. I also bought a snow coat for only $5.00. Normally I wouldn't have been able to afford both coats together I would have had to choose between the two.

Just a little advice from a mom on a budget.
