Default Does anyone buy their kids clothes at expensive places like Limited Too or Kids Gap?

I go in these kind of places and see the prices and just cringe. I mean, $30-40 dollars for a pair of jeans, and the same or more for some shirts. I do like to hit the $9.99 clearance racks at Limited Too, but come on, I just refuse to pay their regular prices or even some of their sale prices. I have seen people in there spend $350.00 on just 2 or 3 outfits. I just can't see spending money that foolishly. What do you think? I'm not saying their clothes aren't good quality, because I think that they are, but they are so ridiculously priced.

My girls like Limited Too, but we shop mostly the clearance racks and when they get 20% off coupons in the mail. I agree it is ridiculously expensive at full price!
Gap kids I love. I think they have the best sales. We used to live right near a Gap clearance store- I miss it.

I used to buy my oldest alot of clothes at Limited Too when she was younger. She is extrememly thin and they were the only ones that really fit well.

I buy clothes in these stores, but I shop the clearance racks. I never pay regular price for clothes in stores like that.. I'm broke the way it is.. I'd really be hurting if I paid full price!!

I don't think Gap is all that good quality, esp for $40 for jeans or whatever. I do buy there, but I usually wait til it's on sale. I'm happy to pay full price if I really want something but I want it to be good quality, so there are only certain places or brands that I do that with and Gap is definately not one of them.

I did buy baby ds some pants once, I went to The Childrens Place, macys and baby gap..all out of frustration that we could not find any jeans that fit him! But I got them home and tried them on him and none of them fit, so I returned them all, so I didn't really spend any money. I do love the gap outlet store and do get some things there, like last time I got some sweat-shirts for 4.99. Sometimes I'll go in and browse, mabye I'll get something at the Gap off the clearance rack if its under 5 bucks cause I'm too cheap! lol

I buy all my kids clothes at gymboree. it's not expensive if you know how to shop it. I have never paid full price, actually the most I've paid was 40% off, normally I wait until it's 60% or more off retail. I buy some Gap but the quality is not as good. When my kids have outgrown Gymbo I will buy Gap and Limited Too. They have great sales too

The best part about people who do shop at those places and DO pay full price,they eventually donate it or have rummage sales , and i love finding their cast offs for maybe 1/8 of what they paid for it!!!

I'll shop at Limited Too when as the kids gets big enough. They certainly won't get all there clothes from there but I will get them some things. I remember that my mom was great about getting me some special pieces when I will younger (Guess jeans were the coolest!) and I'll do the same whether it is Limited Too or Holister or whatever they want, in moderation. I certainly wouldn't go in to debt to do it though.
