So I'm not usually a fan of Marshall's and Ross. I think their stores smell funny and the people shopping around me are generally...well, annoying. However, I am begging forgiveness to the shopping gods. I am now fan. I will deal with the smell...and the annoying people.
I've been keeping my eye open for a great deal on backpacks for the kids. In the past when I haven't forked over $50 bucks a piece for school backpacks, I find myself replacing them by Christmas break. Hoping that won't be the case this year!
Marshalls:
Drew fell head over heels for a trendy black and white backpack that was only $16.99 and Mak B. found an awesome pink/black/white Under Armour backpack for $19.99!!! Both look super durable and the kids love them. I also purchased a 2-pack of Calvin Klein boxer briefs for Little Dawg which were $5.99. Total was $43 and change...which is less than what I would have spent on one backpack! The pics are kinda crummy....busy and lazy aren't a good combo :)
Ross
I found this super cute persimmon orange dress for Makenzie (not for school) and the price was incredible! Are you ready? $4.99! I repeat "four ninety-nine!"
And picked up this dress for me (if it fits...)
FOR ONE DOLLAR AND NINETY NINE CENTS....NO KIDDING!
For Macy, I found this hoody for the fall. It was priced at $2.99! I thought it would be great for football weather!
Also, if you are having to buy several pair of shoes like we do, I recommend Rack Room Shoes! You can take advantage of their "Buy One get One Half Price" and it works on clearance zone shoes as well! I bought 2 pair of women's Fila's and 2 pair of youth Nike's for around $80. I thought that was great for name brand athletic shoes!
Hope this helps:)
