  • It is decent, but packed full of stuff. I had some luck getting shoes there, but I lose patience with the racks stuffed with clothes.

  • I thought the prices there were high. I did get a few cute things. But the isles are narrow and the clothes are packed onto the bars. I have found some toys there for a good deal. I think it's worth it, burlington is right down from there and they have a great clearance going on right now:)

  • I hate it....more than once I pulled a pair of shoes out of the bin and they were dirty/muddy. I can't believe they buy those from someone and not even clean them up for resale. The place is chocked full. They toys seem junky and $$$ too. You can get better deals by shopping sales/end of season and get things new.
  • I can't stand that store.  I tried it twice.  Can't do it anymore.  The stuff is packed full of stuff and the aisles are sooo tiny.  It has to be a fire hazard!

    Bumbos for $18?  Not a deal.

    Ratty Target clothes for $5?  Not a deal.

    Dirty shoes or overpriced Stride Rites?  Not a deal.

    I bought a Ergo in there two weeks ago thinking I could give it to a friend.  Upon inspection, it was a FAKE!  I took it back.

    I find better deals on gear and clothing on clearance at stores.

  • Burlington is hit or miss on the clothing. Coat selection is great. They tend to sell brand names and buy them cheaper. I usually get really good deals on carters clothing there. All were last seasons. We just bought B nice winter coat, snow pants, boots, gloves, hat and a scarf for $30.00. We also got her a lot of shorts and tee-shirts for 1.00 a peice. It's gotten much better over the past couple of years in regards to organization and cleanliness. They have coupons for 15% off an item in several of the parenting magazines and they always let me use several in one transaction.

  • I was just there a couple weeks ago to sell clothes. I brought in 10 boxes of name brand clothes from 0-2T and a trash bag of shoes, all in fantastic shape, a lot never worn or only once. They only took 1 recycle bin full of clothes. I was shocked at what they passed up. 

    I did buy stuff too, 2 Christmas dresses, a Halloween costume, and about 6 more articles of clothing. I paid just over $50. Some stuff was way overpriced!

     All in all, it was successful. I'd go again.

  • It is worth is on some things.  They have an every day value of 10 onesies for $10.  This is for short sleeve or long sleeve and any brand.

    I also will get non-sneakers there.  So for instance - dress shoes, rain boots, winter boots.  Basically stuff that they don't wear enough to warrent spending $$$ and that probably don't already have some other kid's foot imprint in.

    Bathing suits and rash guard shirts are good deals too - but hit and miss on quality and price.

    Seasonal things too - halloween costumes, christmas dresses, easter dresses - all the things that are wear-one-time type stuff is usually a good price and in great shape.

    I do feel like it is crowded, tiny, and suuuuucks if you have your kid with you.  For some reason the price on pants is high in general - $4-5 for cotton pants?  I get that they are brand name, but I can buy walmart brand new for $3 or watch for sales at carters and get to that price anyway.

    I feel like in general I can find used clothes cheaper via garage sales or craigslist.  But it is more convenient to all be in 1 place.
