Sometimes brand loyalty and a preference for trendy baby clothes is a drain on the budget. However, good taste does not have to mean spending too much money for cute baby clothes. Luckily, the Gap outlet stores are fun to shop at and a source for great deals. Shopping at Gap outlet stores and watching for sales are the first steps to getting bargains on Baby Gap clothing.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Shop the Gap online, paying close attention to the Gap outlet store section and sales. Sign up for email newsletters form the Gap to keep informed of upcoming sales and discounts. Sign up to the mailing list for percentage-off coupons.
Step 2

Go to the Gap stores on Wednesday mornings to catch the latest markdowns. Prices are marked down Tuesday evenings, effective Wednesday morning, at most Gap stores. Look for prices that end .97, the lowest price the company gives the stores, known as the kill price.
Step 3

Check out the Gap outlet stores. Find the Gap outlet store nearest you by searching online or asking at your local Gap store. Ask Gap outlet store employees when they receive new stock and when the big sales are.
Step 4

Browse clearance racks at the end of each season in Gap stores. Purchase for the size your kids will likely be in the next year. Buy extras of basics such as khakis, jeans, and tee shirts. Splurging on a cute toddler Gap dress in-season will not be as big a drain on the budget if you have gotten great deals on everything else.
Step 5

Shop at annual kids' consignment sales to find baby Gap couture and clothes from the Gap outlet stores. You will be able to buy Baby Gap items for about $1 to $5 a piece in most places.
Step 6

Browse thrift outlets and yard sales in affluent areas. Look for classic baby GAP clothing items that are in excellent condition, sometimes new with tags, and at rock-bottom prices.
