Carter’s Babies & Kids

Four Stars for the Carter’s gear
You can def get some Nice gifts here, and stock up on some basics. We got baby gifts for 4 people in one hit– and stuff for our 2 kiddos
Tips & FINE print; every 50 you spend you get 10 dollars in rewards, BUT you have to keep the receipt with those bar codes at the end– ALSO don’t think your being helpful by ripping them off at the register for your next purchase– I did that and they said it voids the rewards. And treated me as if I was ripping them off or something? Apparently some people (outlet pirates) return all their purchases and try to use the rewards only. so keep in mind the Original receipt is required (makes no sense tho considering it’s a barcode system and a return should void the reward eh? But never the mind). I offered my original receipt, (showing in spite of my size exchange I still rated the 30 $ reward) — and still they still seemed miffed. Um ok.
So I use my 30 bonus bucks and then have more im addition to buy, I offer the coupon they gave me last time and was slighted for trying to use it «on rewards». Nooo I’m using it on my NEW purchase… As in buying more From your store… And using one of the endless coupons I get thrown my way. So just do a separate transaction to avoid the hassle. Anywho I know the «rules» now and so I’m not going to dink the rating. It’s an outlet mall after all! Hope this helps

I love shopping at Carter’s because there are always good discounts to be found. Clothing little ones can be very expensive and for what? An outfit they wear for a few months… maybe if you are lucky a year? It’s crazy! I have become more frugal in my spending with regards to baby/​kids clothes over the years. I do not skimp on quality, but I often shop at some really awesome local consignment events for name brand, barely or even never used, clothing. I save hundreds of dollars every year.
But what is a person to do between sales? For me it is outlets, outlets, outlets! Carters is a prime example. On my most recent visit to Carters I stocked up! When I get to the counter I tell the gal that I am bummed that I did not have a coupon. She tells me that if I have a smart phone I can access one on the Carter’s Facebook fan page. She then very patiently waits for me to log in and find the coupon and pull it up. It was a 25% off your entire purchase coupon! She saved me about $ 50! Then on top of that, I earned $ 10 off my next purchase for every $ 50 I spent. So I came in the next day and bought $ 50 worth of clothing and paid only $ 10 (using my 4 $ 10 off coupons!)
Love Carter’s! I don’t like the «Made in China» label… yes this is a repeating theme for me. I don’t like China… what can I say.
Anyway, Carters is a great place for reasonably priced clothes made for play and comfort! And the staff at this location were incredible patient and helpful. Just be careful to steer clear of items that are priced too high. Wait for them to go on sale! A pair of jeans can sell anywhere from about $ 25 to about $ 9. So shop wisely and look for the deals!

This morning I hugged my daughter and reflected that I love her pajamas.
I’m weird like that.
She’s been wearing Carter’s jammies for more than 10 years.
They’re soft, fleecy, wash well, last forever, and are great hand-​me-​down or consignment items when she outgrows them.
They don’t wear out.
Typically, I have bought them here, at this outlet store in Troutdale, usually a pile in her current or next size at once, kind of a once a year trip.
This last time I got several pairs online. They were on sale down from $ 40 (which is too much for kid’s jammies) to $ 16 or $ 18, which is fine given their quality.
Soon she will be too big for Carter’s, as their sizes for big kids go to 12 only. This makes us sad.
Sniffle.
Carter’s jammies are most importantly, adorable, with cupcakes, zebra stripes, polar bears, Santas, cats, giraffes… etc. printed on them. She may be too old (and too darn cool) to wear that stuff to school now, but at bedtime that’s what she wants.
It’s also a great place to get baby and baby shower gifts. They always have some kind of sale going on, and they typically have Carter’s cash or some such that you can bring back later to get a lot of money off something good.
The store is pretty kid friendly too, they have always had something for kids to play with while mommies and daddies shop.
Nice.
