They always rode up which didn't work for my little winter babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affordable-layette-sets#post-2588377 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 11:29:15 +0000 MamaG 2588377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: If you haven't already, sign up for Carter's emails (or search retailmenot.com) for coupons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affordable-layette-sets#post-2588376 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 11:28:27 +0000 Mrsbells 2588376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone... I'll keep checking the Carters site to see if their deals beat what I already get at Kohls. I'll take a look at Old Navy too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affordable-layette-sets#post-2588375 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 11:28:23 +0000 MamaG 2588375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, and I personally didn't like those gown things, I re-gifted every one of them that I received to another mom who liked them. They just didn't work for me and my kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affordable-layette-sets#post-2588374 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 11:26:09 +0000 MamaG 2588374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have any sets like that. But generally I really like Carters and Old Navy for onesies. I really liked Old Navy for soft pants (bought a few from the boys section for my girls, I liked the banded ankles). I really like the sleepers from Old Navy for newborns/infants. Once we moved past ON sizes in the sleepers, I really like TCP.</p> <p>A lot of my Carters pieces were either from Carters or Kohls. You have to work both the sales/coupons on them. Likewise for Old Navy and TCP, sales!</p> <p>Oh, and for my second I got a fair number of solid onesies from Target.com (weren't available in the store) and they might have been Circo branded (and they still seem to have some! <a href="http://www.target.com/p/circo-baby-girls-5-pack-bodysuit-pink/-/A-50360424)" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/circo-baby-girls-5-pack-bodysuit-pink/-/A-50360424)</a>. I liked that they were fairly plain and I could pair them or layer them easily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affordable-layette-sets#post-2588363 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 11:10:18 +0000 caterw 2588363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most definitely Carter's (or Carter's at Target). The Carter's website has 50% off sales all the time and will frequently send out 20% off coupons that stack, plus you get $10 off for every $75 that you spend. I saved a lot from DD1 and it all washed well and is very soft. You won't find a single big set like that, but most of their stuff from a particular season matches or coordinates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affordable-layette-sets#post-2588254 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 09:31:37 +0000 runnerd 2588254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: and I stop at gap every time I go to the mall because there are always sales going on where clearance is also 30-50% off of clearance price! i can always get better baby gap prices in store than online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affordable-layette-sets#post-2588244 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 09:08:57 +0000 Truth Bombs 2588244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the Baby Gap "favorite" pieces for layette. Basics that are high quality and easy to mix and match. I buy when they are having a 40% off sale and don't think the prices are bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affordable-layette-sets#post-2588230 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 08:50:05 +0000 krispi 2588230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get any full sets. I pieced things together from consignment sales, gifts, and places like Target or the outlet mall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affordable-layette-sets#post-2588207 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 08:12:30 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2588207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, they grow SO fast we did a lot of consignment stores where I could look for higher end brands at similar prices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affordable-layette-sets#post-2588203 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 07:58:36 +0000 Mrsbells 2588203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: maybe its because I have a card at kohls (up to 30% off) and get tons of coupons but everything works out to much cheaper. I typically only buy sets that come out to be in the $10 range each </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affordable-layette-sets#post-2588064 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 20:13:53 +0000 ShootingStar 2588064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Kohls seems like a lot more. At Kohls a 5 pack of short sleeve onesies is $26, buy one get one half off. So if you got 2 packs to qualify for the sale it would be $39 or $3.90/ piece. </p> <p>The same set is at Carters for $15.60. If you spend $50 you can use a 20% coupon. (Or you can use 15% off any amount.). I like to buy a bunch of things at once so I'd use the 20% and make the total for the onesies $12.48 or ~$2.50/piece. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affordable-layette-sets#post-2588051 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 19:52:13 +0000 mfa_lady 2588051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Look for Burt's Bees on Zulily! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affordable-layette-sets#post-2588048 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 19:49:31 +0000 catlady 2588048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't bother buying sets. Better to mix and match so you get only the stuff you really need. As others have mentioned, Carters has extremely good sales, you just need to wait for them. They frequently put everything on sale, and then there is usually a coupon to stack on top of that. I would never pay more than 50% retail on anything from them directly (and often you can do even better). Old Navy and Gap also have very frequent sales of 40% off, which can usually stack with sale prices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affordable-layette-sets#post-2588019 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 19:05:58 +0000 Cole 2588019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Carter's is one of those weird places where you have to know how the sales work. I'd never ever buy so much as a sock at full price. You can typically get a sale and then layer a coupon to bring the price right around Target pricing or better. </p> <p>I've seen sets like that on Amazon, particularly in the deals section. You might also be able to put together a similar set for a good price at a mom to mom sale or consignment shop. Newborn stuff doesn't typically take much of a beating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affordable-layette-sets#post-2588011 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 18:57:42 +0000 Mrsbells 2588011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks I've never bought Carters directly because they are always much cheaper from places like kohls or TJ maxx </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affordable-layette-sets#post-2588006 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 18:55:48 +0000 ShootingStar 2588006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never gotten a full set like that. But I get those types of things at Carters. They always have coupons and sales. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affordable-layette-sets#post-2588005 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 18:54:50 +0000 autumnlove 2588005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never bought any but I was gifted a few sets from Carter's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affordable-layette-sets#post-2587999 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 18:45:33 +0000 Mrsbells 2587999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>where do you get good infant layette sets? They all see so expensive! Last time I got this Garanimals set from walmart, its good value although the quality isnt the softest. My only hesitation is that there are so many long sleeved pieces in the set and it will be really warm so I'd rather buy a set with more short sleeves. </p> [attach=1326/16/oajbbx.600x600.5dddd5cc34347bc93324a426ec6147d9.jpg]
