I got a 35% off coupon code for Gap.com. (If you go to their website, they are having a "surprise sale" with a random amount off each time you visit.) But 35% off a $20 onesie is still way too much money for something my kid is going to poop on in a week. I am always shocked at these designer baby clothes that cost $20 and up for a single item. Then again, both of my kids were champion spitter-uppers, and maybe if you have a sweet little girl who sits quietly and isn't constantly emitting bodily fluids and trying to shove her dress in her mouth, it makes more sense to buy nice clothes.
I went to the consignment store last week to buy X some pants. (Consignment store and yard sales: $3 and under per item of clothing. If a $1 onesie gets hopelessly stained, I throw it out.) I was surprised that a basic pair of printed cotton pants cost the same as a pair of nice khakis, but the owner informed me, "They're ZUTANO." The store only had two pairs of pants in his size, so X is now the proud owner of designer baby pants. Which he will poop on.
I love how practical you are. I intend to be the same way when I have kids.
ReplyDeleteI know what you're talking about! It's crazy how much some baby clothes cost. I'm all about the $1-$3 baby clothes. She outgrows them so quickly, poops them up, spits up on them, so why spend $20 on something. A friend bought one $16 onesie for her and promptly outgrew it in one wear and wash!
ReplyDeleteYay consignment pants ... for him to poop on.
ReplyDelete@Butterflyfish: I didn't want to date my humor. But you know while I was writing this post I was thinking, Designer pants are great... FOR ME TO POOP ON.
ReplyDelete@CM date yourself!?! has it really been so long since Triumph the Insult Comic Dog had us all in stitches?
ReplyDeleteYeah seriously, I can go to the local Salvation ARmy and buy like thirty outfits for 20 bucks. And the clothes will still look awesome. :-P
