| Most of Alex's clothes comes from Wal-Mart or Zellers. She goes through shirts so fast that it's really not worth spending $18 on a t-shirt I could get for $3 at Zellers. I will sometimes buy Old Navy if it is on sale. I think the only Gap clothes she has was a gift, and when I used a gift card. I don't go out intentionally to buy something at the Gap for her. Sears is another good place for her clothes.

| Our shopping options are very limited (like, to Wal-mart and Cdn Wholesale Club). We don't have a second-hand clothing store either. So, if we get a gift, we wear it on the kids. But even if labels were available locally, I couldn't justify paying for them. I don't for myself, either. The budget doesn't allow for it...but even if it did, I still wouldn't, just on principle!

i don't think i'll be buying brand name stuff once my baby is born but when i get hand-me-downs the only things i tend to keep are the brand names as they are the only ones that don't look used and raggedy. you have to admit many brand name clothes are better quality and tend to last longer than Walmart or Zellers brand... if you plan on using them for just one kid they are great otherwise they're kind of icky..IMO

| I buy a little bit of everything for Danica (Katelyn gets all hand me downs for now), but I do find that the brand name stuff seems to last longer and fit better. That's something that will depend on each child, but the stuff from Zellers/Wal Mart often is ok around the waist, but too long. Or the shirts fit ok around the torso, but the sleeves are too short. Shopping consignment is good too, but I'm finding it harder now that Danica is bigger. I guess cause they wear stuff for longer and it gets stained and worn out more.

I have to admit...I am a sucker...
Both my babes are dressed to the nines in labled clothing...
I keep an eye on sales but I don't bat an eye at regular priced clothes either...
They are only small once and right now I get to choose ehat they wear so I want to take ful advantage. I am sure when they are old enough to choose they will go a totaly differnt way.
And I am a self admitted shop-o-holic
