There are a lot of options for inexpensive kids clothes these days, but not all of it lasts very long. \u00a0Many brands don’t hold up for the length of the time where my kid will wear it, let alone being in good enough condition for hand-me-downs for friends. \u00a0But at the same time, it’s hard to justify spending a lot of money at pricier clothing stores.<\/p>\n

I’m always on the lookout for brands that offer both high quality and high value. \u00a0Here are some places to buy children’s clothes that will last without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n

Sears<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

When I need to replenish my son’s wardrobe, often the first place I hit up is Sears. \u00a0They have good sales, excellent discounts if you join their rewards program, and a variety of brands. \u00a0They sell the ubiquitous Carters brand which is definitely budget-friendly. \u00a0Sears also sells their signature Toughskins brand. \u00a0Toughskins has been around for a long time and specifically promotes their durability. \u00a0The prices are good to begin with, but the deals are amazing when there\u2019s a sale.<\/p>\n

For slightly more expensive options, Sears carries Land\u2019s End. While not as inexpensive as the other brands they carry, Land\u2019s End has a great return policy, so if your childrens\u2019 outfits start to wear and tear before they should you can return them easily, making them a solid option.<\/p>\n

Old Navy<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

We do a bit of shopping at Old Navy, especially for pants. We love the fleece pants for the winter. \u00a0Old Navy has some fantastic sales and most recently we stocked up on those fleece pants for only $3.99 a piece. Their clearance section is usually filled with lots of goodies if you have the patience to sift through it. I\u2019ve found shirts for less than a dollar.<\/p>\n

Crazy 8<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

I always thought Gymboree had adorable clothes, but it was always a bit more than I was willing to spend for children\u2019s clothes. \u00a0When I stumbled upon Gymboree\u2019s sister store, Crazy 8, I was thrilled. \u00a0Crazy 8 is to Gymboree as Old Navy is to the Gap. The quality is a little below Gymboree, but it seems better than Carter\u2019s.<\/p>\n

There aren\u2019t a ton of Crazy 8 locations right now, but they they seem to be popping up a little more. \u00a0Otherwise, their website has flat rate $5 for orders under $75 and free standard shipping on orders of $75 or more. \u00a0Crazy 8 has lots of good sales and coupons, so you can find even better deals.<\/p>\n

The Children\u2019s Place<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Children\u2019s Place has nice jeans at a nice price! They\u2019re adjustable, so if you have a slender kid you don\u2019t have to worry about them sliding off. The regular prices for their jeans usually run at about $20, but they\u2019re almost always on sale.<\/p>\n

The Children\u2019s Place is also great for underwear and pajamas. Their underwear prices are better than what I\u2019ve seen elsewhere, even better than Walmart, and they hold up well – even through multiple accidents.<\/p>\n

Costco<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m a huge Costco fan and I use our membership there regularly. While they don\u2019t have a huge selection of clothes in general, what I\u2019ve found there is usually a great deal. I\u2019ve gotten 3-piece outfits there for only about $12. You can find name brand attire, like Adidas track suits. In the fall, they have high quality outerwear, ranging from heavy winter coats to sturdy snow bibs. My whole family loves the socks they sell at Costco! \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I love shopping for children\u2019s clothes for my son, friends, and extended family, but I definitely don\u2019t like the price tags I see at some stores. Luckily, by shopping at the stores I listed above, I\u2019ve been able to find plenty of long-lasting kidswear without it impacting our finances too much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
