Childrens Place brag

[Zonny]

My four year old DS needed a new winter jacket. The last couple of jackets came from Kijiji, in a bag with a bunch of other stuff that I paid only $15 for! Fabulous deal.

But this time I left it too long before I realized his stuff from last year was too small. It's cold out now, and his jacket BARELY fits, not enough room to put on a sweater underneath. I put an ad on Kijiji the other day, but no bites. I had to go shopping!

I tried Superstore for their tax-free deal this weekend. But there's NO way I'm paying $50 for a kid's jacket, tax free or no! But some friends pointed me to CP, telling me that folks on here had posted about 40% off outerwear. It was too short notice to try to trade for one of the $25 coupons. So off we went!

We browsed, found a jacket for about $55, and saw a sign that said something about buying $40 in GCs and get a $10 off coupon. I asked about it, asked if I could use it right away, and was told I could.

Bought $40 in GCs, then bought my jacket. Unfortunately (??) it only came to $32.70 after the 40% discount, so I had to go find something else. DS really liked a hat that was there ($12.50, more than I'd normally pay, but I was wanting to get finished). Turns out that was discounted too, only $7.50 for it (and it is a very nice hat). That brought me over the $40 mark. After tax and discount, I only paid $31.71 for both hat and jacket, still have $8.29 left on my GC. More than I normally would have paid, but still a deal I thought on a new winter jacket! They had 3 in 1 jackets that I was tempted by too, for $65, but was a bit too cheap to splurge - although it would have only been probably $10 more than what I got in the end!

Good tip!
I went with my DS on Friday, but there was NOTHING in his size, called 2 other stores as well, nothing!!!
Asked my sister from out of town to check there… It's only November!!!

So glad we got ours today! I won't be waiting next time - I'm buying on clearance at the end of the winter! We still don't have boots for this year, and I refuse to pay $40 for boots for a four year old. Last year I got $65 boots for $10 at Sears Clearance after winter was over. Who pays $60 for little kids boots?

glad you got a good deal
and i hear you on the boots!

[oddduck]

Wow, good to know. I am thinking of heading to TCP tomorrow to look for winterwear for my youngest.

For boots, you might want to check out the payless BOGO..ofcourse if you desperately need the shoes right now only! I needed them so had to!!

[Rinstah]

Great deal. Kids stuff can be so pricey.

I just bought the winter coat, scarf and a hat for $34.64(including tax), I bought gift card and used 15% off survey coupon from previous purchase.

[user-id]

That is Awesome!

[blackpup]

I wonder until when the gc promo is on? I hope I can dip into it. Great deals!

[savess]

Okay, I've called at least 10 stores in various cities - cannot find a 3-in-1 winter coat in a boys size small (5/6).
Has anyone seen one??? REALLY want one. Will pay shipping if I can get someone to do it!!!!
Prefer the orange, the taupe/grey okay, not crazy about the camoue (can't spell it either!!!)
Help!! Anyone!

[sweetsmom]

Savess - ask CP to check around for you....I know that a few years back they offered to contact another store for me, but I either had to pick it up or have it shipped. I declined, just 'cause I wouldn't pay the shipping. As well, have you checked their website? I think they ship to Canada now (think).

Good luck!
