Anyone who knows me well most likely knows that my favorite store for kids clothes is The Children's Place ... with their awesome sales paired with awesome coupons, you can usually get some really great deals! They also have an outlet store nearby (in Williamsburg, VA), though their regular stores usually have the same great deals! The exception is that the outlet often has several $0.99 racks to hit up! I also always try to by at the end of this season for next season (i.e. I buy next summer's shorts when they are on clearance at the end of this summer, I pair the clearance sale with an awesome coupon and get a really great deal!).
If you have a Children's Place credit card and use it regularly (I pay it off immediately each time I use it!), you automatically get a 10% off sticker to place on your card that is good until the following year. I usually spend enough at Christmas time to qualify for my sticker for the next year ... you can "stack" their coupons with this sticker, so when I do my "TAX FREE" shopping tomorrow, I will be getting 20% off + 10% off + 5% sales tax savings on top of their already great sales!! WOW! I can't wait!
So, with all that said and shared, here is a link to an awesome coupon for 20% off good through 9/1/10! Happy back to school shopping!

This is quite possibly our biggest money saving triumph ... and definitely my favorite! But warning ... it CAN be addictive!
You can easily spend around $2,000 on disposable diapers during the time that a baby spends in them, but did you know that there is a better (in my opinion) alternatve to throwing your hard earned money in the trash!?!? CLOTH DIAPERS!!
The average baby will use close to 10,000 disposable diapers in the first 3 or so years of life ... think of what that would look like in a landfill all stacked up ... gross! Now imagine all of the kids on your street, and all of those dipers in the landfill too, oh my goodness how they add up!! Thousands upon thousands of dirty, stinking diapers clogging our earth! Think of all the tens of thousands of dollars those disposable diapers cost as well ... might as well have just thrown that money right there in the landfill too!
For an investment of as little as $300 you could diaper your baby (multiple baby's for that matter) for that whole period of time, and avoid all that trash! Today's "modern" cloth diapers offer lots of different alternatives, from the old fashioned prefold type diapers and covers to waterproof all in one cloth diapers with velcro or snap closures.
With this first post on cloth diapering I wanted to plant the seed and get you thinking about it. There will be future posts about my adventures in cloth diapering where I will disuss the different alternatives, my favorites and what has worked best for us. I encourage you to look into it and please ask questions if you have them. There is a button here on my blog for kelly's closet ... she has a wealth of information on her site and she is also a retailer of some of my favorite brands of cloth diapers.
Stay tuned for future cloth diapering posts!
