WFMW (bargain shopping tips)
It's time to post yet another WFMW tip.
I can’t remember which parenting magazine I saw this article in (I cut it out some time ago), but these bargain tips come from Kimberly Danger, author of 1000 Best Baby Bargains.
Shop at Gap and Old Navy midweek, when items usually go on sale. Their final markdowns end in “.97,” so if the price tag reads “.99,” you know the item will go lower. Some Targets mark down kids’ clothes on Mondays and start with 30% off. (Wait two weeks and those clothes will be half price).
For the best prices at The Children’s Place, visit its online outlet (go to childrensplace.com and click on Shop Outlet), where clearance prices go as low as $3.99.
Sign up at Gymboree mailing list online and have a chance to earn and redeem Gymbucks for deeper discounts.
Here’s a tip that I learned from a warehouse worker at Toys R Us.:
Start watching the sales at Toys R Us as they should have massive clearances in August/September. Don’t just rely on the flyer that comes in the paper, go in and look for great bargains!
These bargain shopping tips for me, maybe they'll work for you. To see what works for others, be sure to check out the other links at Shannon's, the creator of Works-For-Me Wednesday!

love all the pictures on your blog. it's just beautiful.
Very clever you are!!!
Great tips.
And now I'm going to head over and see what ended up happening with the adoption...I hope it worked out.
Thanks for the tips!
That Old Navy tip is brilliant! I love shopping there for nice, affordable clothes and now I will when to buy for the lowest price. Thanks!
Wow.. great thank you for the tips.. I am alway lookig for deals and those are the places i shop!!! Thanks!
Thanks for the great heads-up!!!
Awesome tips! I'm always looking for deals!!
for adult clothing at reasonable prices watch Cato for womens clothes...their markdown schedule is for 3 mondays a month the first and last are clothing and the mid one is accessories.
Also for target, they mark down some of the weirdest things... i got a 300 l laundry detergent on clearance for 6$ (regular around 12 or 13) because they changed the lid color on them. i got infant tylenol on clearance for 1.38 a bottle for the larger baby tylenol bottle it wasnt out of date or anything only thing i could figure was it was a diff flavor.
i have even gotten ziploc bags on clearance there. watch the end caps in the pharmacy and cleaning areas....those little red stickers can be HUGE bargains
