Aug. 27, 2008 - Thrifty Fall Wardrobe for my Boys
I love Thrift store shopping for clothes, especially at the Salvation Army Thrift Stores. The week of August 11-16th our local Salvation Army Thrift Stores they had their annual Back to School Sale where all kids clothes sizes 0-16 were on sale for .47¢ each piece.
I wasn't able to get to the sale until the last day of the sale, but I still got lots of awesome stuff and all in excellent to "brand new" condition.
Here are pics of our "Treasures":
Boys Stuff:
DH's Stuff
The orange hoodie for DH still has the original tags still on and he paid $2. The gray fleece jacket is an IZOD and was $2 also. The blue coat is a London Fog and was .47¢. It is for oldest son Joshua.
My oldest DS Joshua is the only one that really needed an entire wardrobe and I did well for him. I got him about 6 outfits in each sizes 8 and 10. He is currently in an 8, but I got 10 already in case he grows into them in the middle of winter. I was able to get him 3 identical style shirts by Cherokee that are in "brand new" condition. They are long sleeved polo shirts. The only other thing I need for my boys and mainly for Joshua are PJ's. I will hit the Kids Resale in the Fall.(these are held in Schools and Churches)
Some other brands I got for the .47¢ sale are Levi's, Old Navy, Faded Glory, Sonoma, and many others. I am not a "expensive name brand" person, but at those prices I will buy them. I boys are always dressed very nice, without major expense.
Original Tagged Prices: $81.40
Sale Prices Total I paid: $26.00
Total Sale Savings: $55.40
Total Regular Retail Savings: Not sure, but probably close to $250
I am hoping that the Salvation Army Thrift stores do a 50% off all clothes over Labor Day weekend, as they sometimes do on Holiday weekends. I will be able to shop for DH and I for the fall.
