Walmart

Sales officially begin at 5am

Bargain Mama Tip:

This year you can see a map of where each of the Black Friday deals are located in the store. If you plan to be — first one in, check these out to make sure you get the bargain items you are wanting.

Another tip – if you live in a big metroplex, go to one of the less popular Walmart’s. Last year my sister and I hit Walmart after an all-night run at 8 am. She was able to still pick-up 2 TVs! 3-hours AFTER the deals started. It was because the Walmart we chose isn’t too heavily traffic’d – not off a main busy intersection.

So this whole 2nd trimester thing has totally not allowed me to wear any of my normal clothes.  The great maternity clothes that don’t make you look entirely like a whale search has begun.

Here are some discount site that i’ve found that offer maternity clothes that don’t look like something from 1980′s. By the way, I do know that the 80′s are back fashion-wise – I am just praying to sweet Jesus that maternity 80′s clothes don’t follow that trend. This mama is NOT wearing acid-washed overalls for the next 6 months.

I have found some cute things in the store – after digging. The selection is okay. I have found better luck shopping online. The good is the clothes are cheap, stylish and last a heck of a lot longer than anything I’ve found at Motherhood.

Here is a link to the maternity clothes

Even better: here is where you can find the clearance maternity clothes

Old Navy’s store collection just down right sucks. I think they carry a larger selection of underwear than they do maternity clothes in store. And to top that, not all stores carry their maternity line. Again, online seems to be the better option.

This week Old Navy is having a Maternity (and Baby) sale. I found several cute things at really good prices.

Shop Old Navy Maternity

Walmart B&M i’ve never had any luck purchasing maternity clothes. The section is limited and I’ve never found anything I really liked. In an effort to be fair – I checked out their online selection and I don’t know quality but it’s not too bad, and again priced fair.

Shop Walmart Maternity

I know several people that LOVE Kohls. It’s not that I don’t like the store, I just don’t LOVE the store. The prices are fine – as long as the items are on sale. I have learned if I like something there that isn’t on sale, I just need to wait a week because the price will drop once the item is on sale. They have totally trained their customer base to wait for the sale.  The maternity clothes are sparse in the store. They are made by Motherhood – which I am not a fan of. The clothes don’t seem to last but a few months. The sizing never seems consitent. The styles are just not that cute.

On the other hand – Kohls does have a great shoe and jewely department (but again, shop the sale!).

Shop Kohl’s Maternity

Some of my greatest B&M finds have been at Ross. Ross has a varied collection. You have to be in the mood for the hunt. Fortunately for me (and unfortunately for my husband), a Ross went in about a mile from our house. I run up there a few times a week since the stock changes frequently. Often I find nothing, but its those days when I hit the motherlode that make those trips worth it.

Finding a $9.99 pair of maternity pants is common. Shirts are often around $7.99. The jeans do go up to $24.99 but seriously designer jeans for under $30? Thank you! Another thing that I have come to adore are dresses. Ross has a great collection and though they might not be specified “MATERNITY”, they will definately work – and usually under $20!

Ross is offline only. Each store has different but simliar stock. Often they aren’t the cleanest of stores – I find the newer stores are the best ones to shop.

P.S. don’t miss the purses! Ross carries GREAT bags!

I shop Ebay for a lot of things – personally have never shopped for maternity – but I have friends that swear by it. This is also a good resource for dumping those maternity clothes once bambino is born.  Definately another stop to consider. If I am forced to attend a dreaded dress-up Christmas party – this will definately be my first stop.

Shop Ebay for Maternity

I hope this helps a little with your quest to find afforable maternity clothes. If you have any other good affordable resources – drop them in the comments! If you aren’t pregnant – pass this along to a friend that is. Believe me, finding clothes isn’t an easy task!

Happy Maternity Clothes Shopping!
