Entry FeedShopping was OK, though I got nothing for myself.
I went to the Premier Outlets. Daughter got a pair of pink running shoes from Geox, and the boys each got Converse All Stars, all three pairs for less than $60 total! I also bought some clothes for a friend who just had a baby. I spent less than $83 total.
Kids are now at the age where all of them really have to be present when I purchase something for them, or they may not like it.
Nana bought two dresses for Daughter. She was awake for the first, but had fallen asleep in the stroller for the second. I loved it. Daughter was not as impressed.
"That is not my dress."
"Yes, Nana bought one for you and one for your cousin."
"But I hate it!"
With Daughter, you can usually convince her to wear something if it was purchased by her Nana, and her cousin has the same one. I really hope that we can get her into the dress.
Honestly, the shopping is not that great. I don't know if it is because we are at the outlets, and they assume that tourists are doing the shopping so we are dumb enough just to buy it because it is the outlet.
There was a Tod's outlet; it was disgusting. The purses started at over $350, but the outlet was dirty and grubby looking, with really poor selection.
Coach was a mad house. Some of the purses there were nice, but the ones that I really liked were still over $200.
Tomorrow I am going to try the Prime Outlets. They seem to have the same stores, but we'll see what the prices look like there.
Still staying away from Walmart. Though there is something called "Bells" here that I may check out, along with Kohls.
