I have so many fond memories of BabyBargain’s tiny Trumpette socks.  He wore his little tennis-shoe-socks 24/7 his first year and we got compliments on them all the time!  Honestly, the purpose of shoes in the first 6 months is really only entertainment for us bystanders- why not entertain in something a little more comfortable?  Amazon has a few Trumpette sets(6 pairs) on sale for 35% off!  Pick up my favorite Pixies above for $19.23, the adorable unisex “Made in Heaven” set for $19.51, a Princess set for $19.19, or a “Fore” set for your little golfer for $19.43- all originally $30!

Argh. I’d like to blame my recent truancy on a technical glitch, but I believe it’s more likely due to operator error.  I’ll attempt to correct it with copious amounts of coffee.  In the meantime, please enjoy yet another installment of super-cheap supa-fly shoes courtesy of our friends at Amazon.  As in most (all) cases, you will find 10 times more girls shoes than boys shoes on sale, but such is the burden of mothering a baby boy.  Well, that and occasionally finding a toy car in your cup of coffee.  The adorable mary janes are Pediped, usually $46 and now $20.87 (55% off!) and the ruggedly handsome sandals are Jumping Jacks, usually $63 and now $20.14 (68% off!)  Find the whole sale lineup here!

Dear Amazon, I love you. Love, Me  There’s a shoe-tacular savings event on baby and toddler shoes going on right now at Amazon, with plenty of shoes 50% or more off.  Take these ridiculously adorable toddler Crocs.  They’re regularly $35, and now just $13.52- 62% off, amazing!  Check out the whole roster of sale shoes here, which include Keds, Robeez, umi, pediped, Etnies, Puma, and soo many more!  I love shoe sales for lots of reasons, but mostly because you’re pretty much guaranteed you’re going to need that next size in the future.  Mama hates paying full price for shoes and loves stocking up.  Especially when they deliver them for free to my door (orders over $25, of course!) and I don’t have to drag everyone out in the snow.  Dear Online Shopping, I love you. Love, Me

Sales on Robeez shoes are hard to come by, but Mama will bring you the goods!  Plenty of styles are up to 50% off at Robeez‘ own online store, but like all good shoe sales, the sizes won’t last long!  (Perhaps now is the right time for me to confess to squishing my feet into size 7s to save $80 on the cutest little boots you’ve ever seen?  No?)  Anyhow, the adorable Tredz sandals above are regularly $40 and now just $19.99- and if you buy two pairs you’ll get free shipping!

I really like the quality of the clothes we’ve bought at The Children’s Place and there is no arguing with their value, especially when they run sales like this one!  A bunch of corduroy pants (for girls and boys) and polo and other cute shirts that are regularly $10.50-$14.50 are now just $4.99!  That’s as much as 66% off!  Picking up a whole cute outfit for $10 is likely something you won’t be able to replicate when they’re teenagers (although I would totally wear those ruffly cords if they came in my size!), so Mama says take advantage while the gettin’ is good!  The “monster sale” is also still on, you can shop whole sale here!

While browsing The Children’s Place website a few months ago, I had a vision for the BargainFamily’s Christmas card in 2009.  And it involved all of us wearing these matching pajamas.  PapaBargain was not on board.  The reason he gave (aloud) was that he couldn’t possibly see paying $30 apiece for a matching set of pajamas “we” may never wear again.  Oh boy, I can’t wait to see the look on his face when I tell him I just bought them for $4.99 each!  PJ Christmas 2010 here we come!  (Oh yes, and there are some great deals on kids clothes during the monster sale too!)

Sorry I’m late today, kids!  BabyBargain refused to nap and is sadly still unaware of the timeliness of bargain hunting.  No matter, I’ve got a bargain today that will keep you going for a while!  If you happened to miss the super deal on PJs at Kohl’s a few days ago, you’re in luck!  The January clearance season is here in full force, particularly online at Kohl’s, where you can still get 80% off pajamas (check out these Curious George cuties!), a 2-pack of Carter’s bodysuits for just $6.80, or 60% off the mega-adorable Chaps velour dress above that I wish came in my size.  Bargains abound, check out their whole clearance page here and be sure to use code NOCHARGE for free shipping on any size order!

I hope everyone had the merriest of Christmases!  I thought we’d ease back into regular ol’ winter with a comfy cozy bargain.  I’m pretty sure BabyBargain would wear his footed pajamas all day, every day if I’d let him.  Alright, I’m not pretty sure- I know.  The PJ standoff happens quite often.  It’s hard to argue when I’d prefer to wear footed pajamas all day too.  Luckily, Kohl’s has heard our cry.  Most of regularly $20 Carter’s footed pajamas are on sale for just $6 (!) and you can also use coupon codes EXTRA20 for another 20% off and/or code NOCHARGE for free shipping.  I haven’t placed my order yet, so I can’t guarantee they both work, but I’ll keep you updated!  I’m pretty sure $4.80 is the cheapest I’ve ever seen these!

MORE UPDATE: Both promo codes worked!  And the pjs were another 10% off when I added them to my cart?  I’ve learned not to question, and just ordered 4 pairs of pajamas for $18 shipped to my door!  Yeay Winter!

I swear I’ve been meaning to take a knitting class since before BabyBargain was born, but bargains like this one provide me with absolutely NO motivation.  For this week only, The Children’s Place has their rugby sweaters (for girls, boys, and babies) on sale for just $5.  Five dollars!  The knitting class alone is like 10 times that price!  I’m not sure if this is online only or also in stores, but their shipping prices are pretty reasonable- just $5 for any order.  I’d pay that to avoid shoveling the snow currently piling up in my driveway…

Winter’s winds may rattle the doors and acres of snow may surround you, but no princess (or Mama) should have to sleep without a tutu.  That’s why I’m filing these in my “things I wish came in adult size” folder.  Kohl’s is offering 50% off a large selection of Carter’s sleepwear (for girls and boys!), including these adorable duds- originally $22, now just $11!  You don’t even have to brave the cold!  Although I have been meaning to try out my fleece-lined tiara…

Who wouldn’t love snuggling up in one of these?  I think a Halo SleepSack makes it onto everyone’s baby registry- it’s a crowd pleaser!  Tough to find a bargain, though…but that’s why you have me!  Perfect for the “surprise gender” baby, the yellow SleepSacks are half-off at Babies R Us!  Even more spectacular, if you buy 2, you can take an additional $10 off- that’s 2 for $12, almost 75% off!  Amazing!

I really like Stride Rite.  It’s hard to find a quality, supportive shoe for those hard-working toddler feet, and I’m a little sheepish to admit that I’ve paid full price for these babies.  But oh, they were worth it!  Now had I planned ahead, I certainly could have found a bargain.  Learn from my mistakes and pick up one of the dozens of Stride Rite shoes on sale at KidSurplus!  The adorable two above were regularly $44 a piece, but are now 48% off, just $22.99!  If you spend $50+, you can ever get another $5 off with code CEDAR until 10/20!
