Fun, Frugal, Finds – Back to School Clothing for Kids!

We’re approaching the end of July now and we’ve already started our back-to-school shopping for the Princess. Every school year I sit down and go through my finances and then I set a budget on what I’ll spend. I’m pretty frugal, but I like her to have nice things, so I’m always shopping for bargains and clearance deals.

Around here we have a large department store called Boscov’s. You’ll find them in several northeast locations. Every summer they put a big tent out into their parking lot and move their clearance items out into the tent & mark them down even more. I love visiting the Boscov’s tent sale and looking for bargains!

Two weeks ago I hit up their tent sale and here’s partially what I found.

1 Girl’s top with a detachable scarf (reg. $19.00) Clearance for $3.99
2 Girl’s Tops with a detachable necklace (reg. $19.00) Clearance for $3.99
20 Slim Hangers in a pack – Clearance for $5.99
Vanilla Cookie Liquid Hand Soap from Softsoap for .95 cents each (got 4 of them)
1 Child’s Backpack (reg. $24.99) Clearance for $4.99 (forgot to take photo)

I’ve been re-doing all of my closets with those slim-style hangers and have been paying a fortune for those hangers from another retailer. I swear I got back at least 50% of my closet space by switching over to them. Anyway, now I’m working on switching over to the hangers for Princess’ closet at her house.

We’re all big hand washers, so I kept 2 of the liquid hand soaps for my house and sent the other 2 over to her house. Rule #1 after she gets in the door from school? Washing your hands!!!
