Frugal Family: Frocks Aplenty

Thank you, savvy shoppers, for stopping to read the newest edition of Frugal Family, where we at Patch search high, low, and even between the couch cushions (ooh look, there’s that missing doll shoe) to bring you the top deals, steals and bargains.

Did you hear of a great sale in the pipeline? One going on right this minute? By all means, share the important information with us. Aw shucks, did we omit a discount? Let us of know our mistake as well. We at Patch always want to hear from you.

1.

Deal: Although we haven’t passed Halloween yet, stores are gearing up for the winter holidays (and causing confusion for me when I shop). You can score the perfect holiday frock at up to 50 percent off at this Montana Avenue boutique.

Good Through: While supplies last

2. LA KIDS CONSIGNMENT

Deal: Suddenly realize your home is sinking under the weight of toys your children no longer use? Perhaps you’re in the market for a certain type of trike. Either way, the this famed sale is sure to have someone who wants your gently used kid items or just the object you need in good working condition.

Good Through: Sunday

3. GYMBOREE

Deal: Family portraits lurking in your future? At this fall sale, you can outfit the younger members of your clan in cute sweaters, pin tuck tops and comfy pants at 60 percent off. Of course, if you want to clothe everyone in matching jumpers, you may have to go elsewhere.

Good Through: While supplies last
