Cost of Baby Gap clothes

I love Baby Gap for my DS. I think the clothing holds up well. We were fortunate enough to get some great hand me downs from this brand and I try to shop their sale racks. When I go consignment shopping I end up paying $5 for a Tshirt/long sleeved shirt. I am guessing this is reasonable considering the brand. Just out of curiosity, does anyone get their stuff cheaper than that on sale at the store,etc.? I am trying to be practical and make sure I am not spending too much in the big picture. TIA

    I buy most of DD's clothes from Baby Gap and have gotten shirts for $5 or so brand new. I think they have good prices, anywhere from $4-5 to maybe $10 for clothing on clearance/sales. Have you tried The Children's Place? I love their clothes too and have gotten pants for LO for around $2. Check out the clearance racks at BRU too. Koala Baby brand stuff goes on clearance for around the same price and is good quality.

    Most of my son's wardrobe is Baby Gap. I always get it on sale (30 or 40% off) but it can still be spendy. I don't try too hard, though, I have absolutely no patience for clearance racks or consignment stores.

    $5 gap shirts brand new??? Wow! I havent seen that. Yes, I do shop around. I like some Koala baby but at our BRU most of the clearance is usually really picked through. We do Children's Place and I do like their stuff. I do find deals here and there was just more curious on the Gap stuff since I like it so much.

    Watch the sales, and store to store the prices can vary. DS has lots from there, and I hit t right last year and got zip u fleece hoodies for $1.98 at a particular store trying to get rid of them.

    I was just there yesterday. The store near me is has a lot of long sleeves on clearance for $3 and winter accessories for $2 or less. I know that usually in June or July they start bringing out a lot of leftover winter stuff and you can get great deals even coats for $10. It does depend on the store. I would start going weekly now if possible to scope out the deals and of course the jackpot is when they have the clearance with and additional 40%. Be nice to the salespeople and ask, sometimes they will tell you when they are going to be bringing the stuff in the back our for further clearance.

    I think $5 per shirt is very reasonable and I'm pretty frugal, though, I don't think I'd ever be able to pay so much for a shirt when it's been used.  I know that sounds bratty, but if I'm paying $5 per shirt used, I am just going to keep going to the stores and checking the clearance racks and buying things with coupons and what not to get it as low as possible instead.  

    I know what you mean by liking baby gap clothes, though.  I totally agree that they hold up well, are well made, and use great fabrics.

    I think the only place you're going to find them cheaper are at garage sales. You might occasionally stumble across something on the sales rack marked down to a few dollars, but not consistently enough to count on, IME.

    In my area, consignment stores buy that kind of stuff for like $1-2 a piece (most often $1) and then sell for $5-8 depending on the item (shirt, pants, dress, etc.). 

    I have a ton of Baby Gap clothes from my two girls and I agree that it holds up well.
