GAP was my first stop and they were busy marking down some items. The salesperson told me all sales items were an additional 40% off. Sweet! I started grabbing everything I liked. The store was quite busy-busier than I'd ever seen it. I checked out with what I thought was a pretty good deal and decided to skip the other stores.
Friday I had to go back because a shirt and pair of jeans I got for Will were too tight. I decided to go to GAP in the mall. I found a few more good deals but was disappointed because their prices were higher than the first one. I then headed to GYMBOREE where they were having a huge sale also.
Today I had to risk my husband taking away my debit card to make one more trip to the original store. I picked out a few more items and went to check out. The first 2 items didn't ring up as low as they should so I asked and found out they were only 25% off. I told the lady I thought it was 40% off because that's what it was Thursday and I needed to rethink my selection. She kept ringing me up and said "OK we'll see". I was getting uncomfortable as she kept ringing things up and I thought she didn't undetrstand so I said again "I'm not sure I want all this." She said "It's ok,I will honor it." And then she made my balance go from $77 to $44. The 25% had already been taken off then she did an additional 40%!
So here is my loot from 3 GAP trips and 1 GYMBOREE trip:
5 Jackets
1 Anorak
1 hat
3 pairs of socks
3 pairs of underwear
2 pairs linen pants
2 linen shirts
2 swimsuits
2 t-shirts
1 polo
1 long sleeved shirt
5 sets of pajamas
1 romper
1 pair of jeans
1 pair of shorts
Total spent: $167.64
Total retail value if bought at full price: about $575 before tax.
I did good!

Very good!! Way to go bargain shopper :)
And mostly, you had fun doing it :)
I kinda miss hunting for kids clothes. My kids outgrow them much slower now that they're older, and Pearl has all Winter's hand-me-downs and doesn't need anything. So it's kinda boring now.
My game is to divide how much I spent by how many items I got (even if it's a pair of socks) and see what my average cost per item was. That's how I tell myself it was a good job or not ;)
