My kids are average size and it has been pretty easy to guess what size they will be during the next seasons. I plan ahead and buy clothes for the next year at the end of the season when everything is on great sales or clearance. My kids have always worn name brand clothing that is in style, but I have never payed full price for any of it. I can usually buy an entire seasons wardrobe for both of my children for around $50 to $75, and this is buying them more than they actually need.

Also, Old Navy is running a weekly promotion “game” at oldnavyweekly.com. There have been several great coupons available, and rumor is there are more to come. I got one coupon that was $50 off a $100 purchase. On top of the great sales at the time, I made out fantastic on this shopping trip. We are set for summer.
