This week, Kelly has asked us to share where we shop. Well, since Lauren has been born, I would say that I do about 75% of my shopping online! It's just easier than taking her with me to the store!!
If we do go shopping together, I shop at Kohl's for myself and Lauren (they carry lots of Carter's stuff) and have good sales. I sometime buy my clothes at Cato or Walmart or Target... I rarely shop for myself, so I will mostly tell where I shop for others! :)
I love Hobby Lobby and Cracker Barrel for home decor (especially seasonal!) They always have cute stuff and both stores are good places to find gifts!
Now...as far as online shopping, I LOVE etsy and Ebay. Hands down, that's where most of Lauren's clothes come from. I really like to dress Lauren in cute things from Gymboree, or cute monogrammed outfits or smocked dresses, but I just refuse to pay boutique prices! There were some good consignement sales back in TN, but I still find better deals on ebay. I bought Lauren's smocked Easter dress on ebay last year for $15. It was a $60+ dress EASILY.
If it bothers you to think of your child wearing something that someone else has worn before, you can find items on ebay that are still new with tags. They just cost a little more, but still less than boutiques! Ebay also has a "custom" clothing section for sellers who make things custom for reasonable prices. And etsy is a great place for one-of-a-kind outfits for special occasions. I had Lauren's 1st birthday outfit made by an etsy seller.
These dresses of Lauren's were also from etsy
The thing about both of these sites is that you have to pay shipping. BUT- I don't have to leave my house and if I can find something 50% or more less than I would buy it elsewhere, it is worth the $5 for shipping to me! :)
Here are some things that I found currently listed on ebay and etsy.
ebay smocked Easter dress (going for around $15-$20 right now)
(ebay pillowcase dress $15-$20)
(ebay outfit $25-$30)
etsy birthday dress $30
Sooo...those are the places I like to shop, hop over to Kelly's Korner Blog and read where everyone else shops! :)

I love etsy and eBay, too....though I've not yet seen the "custom" section on eBay. I'll have to check that out. Online shopping (even without a kid!) is the way to go :D
Do you use anything like eBates? I've earned over $100 by just going to that site first before doing my online shopping. Basically, they give you cash back (anywhere from 1-8 percent) on purchases at various sites. So, if you're going to buy something online anyways, it's a win-win. Let me know if you're interested, and I can send you a referral email, where we'll both get $5 each if you sign up and buy something online in the next few months. It kinda sounds too good to be true, but I've been really pleased with it.
