Boogie got so many compliments on his rugby sweater and beanie, I thought I’d share where I got them. Remember this post from February? I dug up the order confirmation from The Children’s Place. I only paid $4.24 for that sweater! There are a few listed on Ebay in those colors as well as other combinations, just search for “tcp sweater” or “the children’s place sweater” in boy’s clothing. I was able to find two more in different color schemes for $21.98*. That shows how much I love that line of sweaters! $10.99 per sweater is pretty normal. I try to shoot for lower, but I had to have these.
When shopping for Boogie, I do a lot of end of season clearance shopping. I buy in bulk/lots and in larger sizes so that they’d fit once the appropriate time for him to wear them arrives. I also do a lot of shopping on Ebay. On Ebay, I can find items that I may have missed out on at the retail stores. I buy used or new and my goal is always to find a bargain. I was able to score all of this for only $106.42*.
At TJMaxx, I was able to find a Rocawear jogging suit for $12 and a pair of glow in the dark Halloween PJs for $7.
I know, I know. I got to rambling and completely skipped over the beanie! Well, Etsy is another one of my addictions. I purchased Boogie’s rasta beanie for $11* from Art Created by the Hands. She’s super nice and smokin’ fast! Another great seller on Etsy is CynsationalTreasure. I recently purchased two super soft winter hats for Boogie at $9.50* a piece. She uses worsted weight yarn, so they are really warm and they aren’t itchy.
There’s no doubt, I absolutely love shopping for my little man, but I don’t go broke doing it! And once he’s outgrown all of his gear, I can trade with friends or sell them to another savvy shoppin’ parent!

TJX Companies, Inc. provided me with T.J. Maxx and Marshalls gift cards to go shopping with. I only used the T.J. Maxx gift card. As crazy as I am about Marshalls, I’ve decided to offer it to one of you. Yes, I have completely lost my mind.
