TCP Monster Sale

My sister in law and I have gone together again for a Childrens Place Monster Sale, after getting 50% off the sale prices, and then having web codes for additional discounts, we came out rEaLly good.

This shopping order covers, baby gifts, 4th of July outfits, Christmas, Easter, and some clothes that just are needed.

I was really dissappointed, because a top that I ordered for the Liv to wear for the 4th was short shipped and I am out of luck there. bUmMEr. Oh well, win some, lose some.

Here is the break down: ( if no note, then they were for daily wear)

Item Orig. Retail Sale Price Our Price
boys fleece zip up (Christmas) $12.50 $3.99 $3.39
toddler cuff socks $2.50 $.74 $.63
toddler pajamas $16.50 $4.99 $4.24
infant stretchies (baby gifts) $10.50 (we bought 13) $3.49 $2.97
2 girls tee's $9.50 $2.99 $2.54
3 boys tee's (one a birthday pres) $8.50 $2.99 $2.54
girls sunglasses (July 4th) 2/$5.00 not on sale $2.15
boys fleece pullover $14.50 $4.99 $4.24
2 girls sweaters (Easter/family pics) $ 14.50 $4.99 $4.24
fleece pants $12.50 $3.99 $3.39
2 velour tops $9.50 $2.49 $2.12
big girls striped tee (4th of July) $9.50 $6.99 $5.94
boys tie (Easter/family pics) $7.50 not on sale $6.38

of course then, there is shipping $5.00 and tax $5.73......grand total spent......104.26 retail would have been 309.50 before tax and ship....so we SAVED $205.24 off of retail. And get this it could have been better because my Place Points havent' recharged for the year yet, or it would have been another $10.42 off of that. PLUS I am a perks member...for every $75 I spend, I get a $10.00 gift card to TCP back. Not to shabby.


Ok so the real reason I post this is to answer those that doubt that buying ahead can save you money. Buy Christmas EARLY, buy ahead for holidays ALWAYS, and keep people in mind when you are in a sale, you might find a really fun birthday gift that you might not otherwise be able to afford. The baby stretchies are an example.....my sis in law knows 12 people who are having babies in the next few months. She isn't particularly close to any of them, but she can give them all a thoughtful gift without breaking the bank. NICE! And she gets to have the fun of giving it too!
