I feel really good because I didn't get carried away and stayed right on budget for clothes for my girls. I also found some equipment that we really needed and easily saved us over $100 on those items alone!
Here are the clothes I got for my girls. I paid right around $100 for everything pictured here.
This is close to an entire summer wardrobe for my 2 year old, plus a number of items the baby needed to fill in her hand me downs. It also included 3 pairs of shoes! Here are a couple of my best bargains:
The flowered Baby Gap Sunday dress was $5, and the Janie and Jack capri set was $7. On Janie and Jack's website I found similar pants for $34 and similar tops for $28! And this set was in perfect condition.
The equipment that I got included two Kidco hardware mountable stair gates for $20 each and edge guards for our hearth for just $2!
I also bought a little scooter for my two year old. It was just five dollars, and I thought it would be the perfect thing for when the weather gets warm. I didn't even think she knew what a scooter was, but she immediately put her foot on and started scooting! Then she said, "Mommy, you can try," and instructed me to, "put my foot like this . . . ." :-) She was so excited.

Awesome, Liz! I went to the consignment sale in Manassas last weekend and got some great deals, too! Also, thanks for the heads up on the Gap/Old Navy 30% off coupon. I was able to get some great deals at Old Navy this weekend. I'm not sure I'm satisfied w/ the quality of Old Navy's clothing, but I'm going to give them one more try.
