Online Sources for Children's Clothing/Accessories: Where to Find Great Deals

It's no secret that children can be expensive. As a parent, I'm always trying to find the best bargain out there for clothing for my children. After years of searching, I have finally found a few websites that truly offer great values.

Old Navy
Old Navy is always having great sales. You will want to check in often at this website to ensure you don't miss out on anything. Their everyday prices are pretty good too. They offer clothing from newborn to adult, so you can shop for your whole family on one site. They offer the everyday low price of only $5 to ship, no matter how much you order. If you sign up for their newsletter, you will receive email notifications of sales and special promotions that they frequently have.

Target
One of the things I love about Target on-line, is that they offer a rating system on their products. You can see people's opinions on an item before you put out your hard earned money to try it. Target has great everyday prices and are surprisingly fashionable. They always offer low cost holiday t-shirts that my daughter loves. Their clearance section is worth looking into, too.

JC Penney's
I will admit that I prefer JC Penney's in person. They seem to have much better hidden clearance items. However, their on-line site is good too. They offer familiar brands of clothing at affordable prices. Of course, they also have a nice clearance section, as well as a final closeout section. Check back regularly for new discounts and sales. They also offer newsletters with coupons and early tips on upcoming sales.

Ebay-sometimes
The reason why I say sometimes, is because ebay is not what it used to be. The people who sale things now have become somewhat greedy. In order to make up for selling their items at a good price, they have to mark up shipping, and even handling sometimes. I find it very hard to pay ten to twelve dollars to ship a small article of clothing. So, if you order from ebay, make sure you check the shipping and handling amounts first. You would be unpleasantly surprised to find your $3 item totaling $15 after high shipping mark ups. However, ebay does still offer some great deals. You just have to search for them. If you are looking for a flower girl dress for an upcoming wedding, ebay seems to be the place to get it. You can get beautiful dresses everyday for much less than you would find in a bridal shop. Even when you add the ridiculous $15 shipping tag to a winning bid of say $20, paying only $35 for a dress worth over $100 is a great deal. With ebay, you just have to search back often, as new auctions are constantly ending and beginning.

The Children's Place
The Children's Place is a great clothing store for your little one. They have clothing that range in sizes newborn up to size 12. If you sign up for their newsletter, you will receive emails containing great sales and coupons. They also offer special birthday coupons if you add your children's birth dates to your information. If you have a child that is a little big for regular sized clothing, this is the place to shop. When my son turned three, he went from a scrawny little fella, to a big boy with a belly. He lived in sweat and track pants until I discovered The Children's Place. They offer husky sizes starting at size four. They even have hard to find odd husky sizes too like husky sevens. An additional perk to this site is that shipping is a flat $5 everyday. If you are ever unsatisfied with something you buy from this store, you can even return it in person to a Children's Place near you.

Gap
Gap is another great store of husky clothing. They are a big pricier, but their clothing is adorable. There are always items in their clearance section that make your trip to gap on-line worthwhile. While you're there, don't forget to browse through the adult clothing too. You never know what kind of deals you might find.
