Has your child been busy outgrowing his clothing at an alarming rate, despite the bricks you desperately heap on his head? (Who started that brick thing? It definitely doesn’t work!)

Don’t despair—today’s the day to stock up at Children’s Place on the cheap. For one day only—today, January 12th, 2010—you can use coupon code FSSNOW for free shipping on any size order. That’s on top of their already-reduced Monster Sale prices, plus you can also stack coupon code DNEWS1C for another 15% off.

So you can replenish his winter wardrobe on the cheap. Or start working on what he’ll need for spring. Either way, it’s a great deal.

It’s the best of all possible worlds: Today the Amazon Gold Box is filled with a variety of EMU Australia boots and slippers for you and the kids priced at 70% off. So you get to enjoy low prices and great variety for yourself, as well as extreme cuteness for the little ones (love this monster boot, pictured here). A pair for them, a pair for you… hey, at these prices, it’s still cheaper than just one pair, anyway.

Choose from everything from the ubiquitous suede/sheepskin combo to leather to lace-up styles suitable for hitting the slopes to slippers for those lazy days.

Happy shopping, and enjoy having warm feet this winter!

Today’s a great day to shop at Old Navy; they’ve unveiled some of their “Holi-deals” (get it? get it??), plus there’s markdowns throughout the store.

Even better, for one day only—today, November 3rd, 2010—you can use coupon code ONWINTER to save an additional 30%. Some restrictions apply, but overall, that’s a great deal.

These hefty hooded towels are for bigger kids, not babies. The preschool set will love the cool designs; in addition to the standard duckie and dinosaur are a plane, a caterpillar, a superhero, a monster, an angel, a fireman, a fairy, and an alien. Parents will love the fact that the 50-inch by 30-inch towels are actually big enough for their bundle of joy to bundle up in.

$29.95 at The Company Store.

If you love Hanna Andersson style, but aren’t wild about Hanna’s regular prices, now’s the time to gear up for Winter. (Oh, I know it seems early. But believe me, the cold weather will be here before you know it!)

Right now you can shop the Hanna Andersson Cold Snap Sale and scoop up those indestructible (not to mention adorable) parkas, snowpants, and other cold-weather goodies at prices that they usually reserve for the end of the season. And then you’ve not only saved money, you’re ready when that first frost hits. That’s a great deal!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… time to send the kids back into the wonderful world of staying out of trouble learning! But what’s this? Your children have seemingly grown an entire foot over the summer? No worries! It’s stock-up time at Children’s Place, with plenty of $10, $7, and even $5 deals (and that’s aside from their clearance sale savings, where it’s a great time to put away clothes for next summer).

Shipping is always just a flat $5, and to make it all even better, through September 1st, 2010, use coupon code C9AG9MP98A to save an additional 15% on your order. Your kids will be stylin’, and you’ll have money left over.

Money is tight, but junior’s clothes are even tighter. If listing on eBay is too much trouble — and heading to the mall for an entire wardrobe is out of the question — thrifty parents are turning to ThredUp.com, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based online community where parents swap gently-worn clothing a box full at a time. Basic membership is free; for more information, visit ThredUp.com.

Back to school is looming on the horizon, and it’s a great time to go shop at Gap! Through Sunday, July 25th, 2010, use code GAPBTS25 to take 25% off your kids and baby clothing purchases.

And the best part? Right now women’s clearance is up to 60% off, so you can pick up a little something for you on the cheap while you’re shopping for the kids. That’s my kind of deal!

Campers and lovers of the great outdoors rejoice: The latest in insect-repelling technology is built right into your clothes. Insect Shield’s products are treated with permethrin (a man-made version of a natural insect repellant) and protects the wearer against a variety of pesky critters, including flies, chiggers, ants, mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. You can wash the clothes about 70 times before protection starts to wane — more than long enough to get you through camping season. Unlike most sprays and transdermal patches, Insect Shield’s EPA-registered clothing is safe for babies and pregnant and nursing women. And unlike candles and foggers, the repelling powers of Insect Sheild keeps bugs away from you in particular, instead of the area around you in general.

Bandannas cost $12, adult-size clothing $36-$90 at REI stores and online at REI. (You can find the children’s line ($26-$34) at Buggiesclothing.com)

This clever wrap is part coverup, part towel, and all adorable. Made of durable but soft poly-blend terry cloth, the wrap has two comfy straps and a velcro closure at the top. My 5-year-old girl likes to wear this after her bath, but it’s perfect for the pool or the beach as well. Comes in pink, blue, lavender, or yellow.

$20 at Sears.
