My errands today took me out to Katy, so I stopped at The Children's Place Outlet to check the Monster Sale going on. Well, everything was an additional 50% off already reduced prices. I was excited to see they had a couple more items in stock in the sizes I needed as opposed to the online sale. I ended up purchasing these 11 items for just $26.12. The real kicker, is I saved an additional $4.61 just for saying the right thing........................
What is the right thing? Simple. When the cashier finished ringing my order, I simply asked if he had a 15% off he could scan for me. His answer "OF COURSE!"
One simple question saved me an additional four and a half dollars!
The moral of the story here: You have NOTHING to lose by asking, and EVERYTHING to gain!
Do not feel threatened into asking for a discount. I knew the 15% was available online, so why not ask while purchasing in the store.
Again, I have to RAVE about The Children's Place clothing. It is very sturdy and I am very happy to know I paid less than $2.50 per item that both kids should be able to wear. These clothes do hold up!

The first two, and last two, items that I purchased at Children's Place were a total disappointment. I purchased a onesie, that was loose on my child, not tight or even snug, and after one use an inch long split appeared at the seam. I purchased a woven belt at the same time and this also was a thumbs down, it also was not tight or even snug in any way at all. After maybe one or two uses, the belt came unravelled at the end. i had to return both items and haven't been back, except for "trying" to find jeans when i was returning the two items. I figured jeans should be more durable but the length range in one size was crazy just within one store, so I just left. I have also been very, very, very disappointed with just about every toddler/preschool age purchase I have made at Macy's. Even though Target prices can sometimes be pretty close, if not the same as the supposedly better "fancy" tag names, I have never had to return any toddler/preschool clothing or shoe purchase because of horrible quality.
Wow Anon, I am sorry to hear about that. I guess I have had good luck with my purchases as everything I have bought thus far from TCP has lasted through 2 kiddos.
NO WAY I so hAVE TO GO SHOPPING!!
