I’ve been writing lately about minimizing our closets, but just because we don’t need a lot of clothing doesn’t mean we’ll never have to shop for it, and boy do I love shopping for clothes! I especially love a great deal! A while back I decided to limit myself to spending $5 or less per clothing item. That may sound hard to do, or like it would require sacrificing quality or style, but if you know where to look you can find top quality, name brand stuff for Goodwill prices! Here are my favorite places to shop, where finding clothing for under $5 is super easy!:

Kohl’s Clearance Rack- Now, I do not like credit cards, but I have to say that the only one I do have is a Kohl’s card, and I love having it! With a Kohl’s card you get special discounts and offers only good for cardholders. They always have great clearances going on, like 60-80% off, and when I use my card I often have another 15-30% off coupon that I am able to use with my Kohl’s card, not to mention the occasional free shipping code. The key is to pay the card off right away! I love shopping online when I have a free shipping code, talk about convenience, not to mention saving gas money!

Right now Kohl’s is having a great sale going on, and I have PROMO CODES to share!! Here is an example of a deal I found:

This shirt, regularly $16.00. After promo codes and free shipping my total would be only $4.36!

There are lots of other things to chose from, so go now before they are all gone!

Here are the codes for card holders:

15% off- JULYSAVE15 [Exp. 7/22]

Free Shipping- MVC7915 [Exp. 7/21]

Limited Too- Sometimes they have awesome clearance sales, stack those with coupons (and if you’re lucky a free shipping code), and you can really score some great deals! Right now they are having an extra 40% off clearance prices, plus you can use COUPON CODE: 755 [Exp. 07/21] for an extra 25% off. They are also offering $80 in TOO BUCKS (to spend on a future purchase) for every $50 you spend. I don’t see any deals that catch my eye right now, but often they have some good ones, for CUTE stuff too!

I have been fortunate in finding many adorable tops and bottoms on clearance for less than $5 shipped when using codes on clearance deals, so check back often!

The Children’s Place- I love shopping this store online when the clearance deals are good! They usually have a coupon code out, and shipping is a flat rate of $5. So, if you find a lot of stuff on sale, $5 bucks for shipping is worth it compared to the savings in time and gas!

Right now they are having a Monster Sale through the Outlet store online. For example:

This shirt is only $1.99 on sale! Add an extra 15% off to make the deal even sweeter!

Use code: FA78 for 15% off.

Find a lot of stuff on sale and the $5 shipping is so worth it!

So, do you get my point? Are you catching on? This isn’t so hard, is it?! Shopping is fun, and I especially love doing it from the comforts of home! Some other places to find great deals on clothing are:

TJ Maxx

Ross

Rugged Warehouse

Consignment Stores

Yard Sales

Goodwill

ebay (though make sure to consider the shipping charges!)

Craigslist

Freecycle

Notice I didn’t mention Walmart or K-mart. I don’t usually shop for clothing there. Sometimes you can find a good clearance deal, but what I have found is that the prices are still pretty high, the quality isn’t that good, and the style isn’t that great. Nothing against these stores, I just don’t like their clothing.

So, does anybody have any better coupon codes that they can share with us? Do you have a favorite place to shop for inexpensive clothing?? I’d love to hear how you save money on your family’s clothes!

So here’s the skinny on how to get a $40 portrait package for $5. Let me just say, I love the Picture People !

If you follow these instructions, the portrait package that you would get consists of one 8×10 ($20 value) and four 4×6 ($20 value) pictures. Of course, you could always scan the free 8×10 into your computer and print off tons of pictures, but there are copyright laws against doing that (oh well), so I’m going to show you how you can still get those photos that you really wanted to get while you were in the studio that you didn’t buy because you…uh…sort of still wanted to buy groceries for your family that week.

1. How to get the FREE 8×10

• Get your FREE 8×10 or 10×13 COUPON here
• Go to your nearest Picture People and have your child’s portraits taken
• Hand over your coupon
• Walk away with your FREE 8×10!

2. How to get four 4×6’s for $5

• After the portrait session, Picture People will send you an e-mail with a link to the pictures from your latest sitting
• From there, you will be directed to Picture People’s Smile Store which is hosted by Zazzle
• You will then create a POST CARD ($0.99 cents each) for each of the pictures that you choose (I chose four).
• Save your post card creations and then submit your order

And there you have it. The post cards are beautifully printed and fit in any 4×6 frame. You could always get more than four pictures since they are only $0.99 cents.

Here are my son’s recent pictures…

Another tip…
Instead of buying wallet size pictures every time you get your child’s picture taken to give to your entire family, simply e-mail them the link to the recent portrait sitting so that they can check them out online. Of course, grammie and grampie may want a printed copy every month, so go ahead and make them a postcard!

Oriental Trading has their Christmas stuff clearanced, including lots of kids (12 ct.) craft kits for $.97!

*PLUS I have a FREE SHIPPING code: ASP824 (good till 5/15/08). Just type this in where it asks for the KEY CODE during checkout.

Go HERE while there is still a lot to choose from!

I ordered several of these. I love having my 4 yr. old daughter make something for her loved ones at Christmas time to give as gifts. It makes her feel good, and proud that she was able to give. And with these kits, she can give 12 gifts for under $1! That’s an awesome deal!

A great gift idea: Here are sterling silver jewelry pieces for free, you only pay the $5.99 for shipping. And for $1 off shipping use coupon code SALE at checkout (thanks to freelancebyu.com), not sure how long this coupon will be good for though. The jewelry choices change every 15 minutes, and include rings, earrings, and pendants. I’ve ordered a couple of these before and have been very pleased, and impressed with how beautiful they really are! Fashionable, and frugal. Love it!
