Hello all,
One of the funnest parts about being a mom is shopping for your little one. I shop for Jellybean A LOT, but I donèt spend a lot of money, as I only shop during sales and promotions. So if you have a little one, are expecting, or planning to shop for someone else who is. Here is a list of the best places to shop for clothes for kids and babies: (the list is based on quality for price, so the top shops on the list may not necessarily be the cheapest, but have the best quality for value)
Their quality for the price is great, especially when it comes to babies, they don't have a lot of sales going on but their prices are already low as is, the garments are well made, although I wish the selection was bigger but usually it isn't a challenge to find cute and fashionable styles for little boys and girls.
Sales and promotions:

I love how they have a huge baby and kids sections. Their prices are great and so is the quality of the clothes, if you are looking for cute casual clothing for little ones at a good price, Old Navy is a great place to shop. Their price range is between $5-$20 and they always seem to be having good deals.
Sales and promotions:
- 15% off your entire purchase online with coupon code: ONSHOP
- Earn $10 for every $25 you spend in SuperCash coupons to redeem between 4/27-5/3 in stores and online.
3. The Children's Place
This store has a huge selection of lovely kids and baby clothes (although I think they have a little too many printed tops with tacky glittery prints for girls, but that's a matter for preference) and they have sales ALL THE TIME so you're never really paying full price for anything. Their end of season sales are amazing! I got a snowsuit for next winter for Jellybean for only $15 dollars. It's always best to shop for next year or even years ahead during their crazy end of season sales.
Sales and promotions:
- 20% of everything or 25% off when you spend $60 or more or 30% off when you spend $75 or more + free shipping. Use coupon code DISCOUNT3
- Up to 20% off swimwear and accessories on selected styles.
- Extra 40% off select spring clearance styles.
4. Target
I only shop at Target for baby basics: Onesies and socks. The one-pieces come in packs of 2, 3, or 4. They have a big variety of long and short sleeve onesies all year long, from a variety of brands. Note: The Gerber onesie packs run VERY small and shrink when you wash them, I recommend going a size up. All onesie packs cost no more than $12 which is an amazing deal especially if you get a pack of 4 one-piece bodysuits. Socks come in packs of 6 pairs and are super cute! Cost no more than $10. Target is the way to go for onesies, socks, undershirts, and underwear for babies and kids!
Sales and promotions:
- None, the prices are already reduced to the floor.
5. The Gap
I love gap's kids and baby collections, the quality of their clothes is over the top, the prices are on the higher side but it's totally worth your money, they also have frequent sales. I bought a beautiful velvet dress for my daughter, I didn't see anything like it anywhere and it was 40% off so I got it for a great price. I like shopping at the gap once in a while when I want something more a little more dressy and unique.
Sales and promotions: - 30% off your entire purchase online only use code GAPSPRING
6. Gymboree
Gymboree carry super cute clothes for the little ones, they tend towards the dressy style but also carry basics and accessories, I like how they constantly come out with new collections however they are quite pricy. I only shop at Gymboree when they have sales. Once or twice a year they have a 12.99 and under sale on everything in the store. But usually when these sales happen their most popular styles are sold out and finding sizes can be quite a pain.
Sales and promotions:
- Currently EVERYTHING on their website and in stores is 14.99 and under. I believe it will drop to 12.99 eventually but now is a good time to stock up on pretty suits and dresses because sizes go fast !
7. Wal-Mart
Wal-mart is actually pricy for baby clothes. At wal mart you will be spending up to $15 per onesie or top/bottoms. I only bought one Hello Kitty onesie only because it was super cute (and I am a huge HK junkie!) so if you like licensed clothing for your kids Wal Mart is the best for that, however its quite pricy compared to the Children's place or Target.
Sales and promotions:
- None.
Zara's clothing is very trendy and absolutely adorable if you want to have a little fashionista! They always have the trendiest styles for both children and adults and are inspired but the runways of the biggest designers (often accused of ripping them off), but recently Zara's quality went down while their prices are still up there. (I used to work at a Zara store, so heartbreaking to see it go downhill). But if you have some extra cash to spare on a luxury kids outfit for a formal occasion, go for it! Their sales are very rare as well (even when Men's and Women's clothing is on sale the baby and kids sections are still at regular price) and when they do happen it still doesn't feel like you're getting a good deal. Don't get me wrong I love their designs but the price for quality value is just too much, and being on mat leave I definitely won't spend that much on items my daughter will only wear once or twice before she grows out of it.
Sales and promotions:
- None at the moment
Ebay/Kijiji lots:
Personally I'm not into these but I know many moms who are! If you don't mind used baby and children's clothes I highly recommend Kijiji or Ebay lots. The good thing about those is that you can get LOTS of clothes for very cheap, the downside is that sometimes they don't show all the items so it's like buying a cat in a bag, also some things might be stained, damaged, or look very worn so I personally try to avoid lots and used clothes, it all depends on where and who you buy from and how detailed the description is, I suggest asking the seller many questions about the items and ask for more pictures. And if you end up with items you don't like or need you can always donate them :)Thank you all for reading,
Em
