For those of you that know me, you know I can be really thrifty or should we say darn right cheap! I work really hard at it and it becomes quite like a game or hobby for me. I manage to get both of my girls brand new clothes usually for around 2-3 dollars for each pair of pants or shirt. I have actually gotten brand new shirts as cheap as 50 cents before.
I am sure you are wondering how I do it. I have gotten to know the sales pretty well and when they typically happen. At least for seasonal clearance that is. Old Navy happens to be my favorite. My most favorite of their seasonal clearance is the one that happens in January. Typically on January 2nd they mark all of their winter apparel down 50% off. Now this is a good deal but if you have the patience to wait two more weeks--typically the Friday before Martin Luther King Jr. birthday they do a special sale where you can take an additional 50% off already clearanced merchandise. This is where my great deals truly happen. In February, typically around Presidents Day weekend both Kmart and Sears do the same thing.
I shop these sales and buy the next size up for my girls so they can have new clothes next year. Since they are out of the infant stage they are growing one size a year and it works out great!
I highly recommend it. Mark your calendars and don't be afraid to call the stores around these times and ask before making that trip!
