JK kids is pretty good stuff. Often they have sales, or buy 2 deals.
Pinny_Mum ... yeh, Milkshake i think is only from size 3 onwards (sorry everyone i should have mentioned that before)
Tink ... yeh, i became a member of the Pumpkin Patch online about a month ago ... though i do pop into the factory outlet of PP when in Melb but find not many sizes avail in the shop whereas the online have most sizes from what i have seen (thanks Tink for reminding me & letting others know too)
Mak ... thanks a million for making me aware of the ' others ' stores too !!
Charm ... yeh, i will be looking in Myers from now on when there are big sales on the kids clothes as i just can't justify the prices of Target garments anymore !!! (A bigger choice at Melb Myer than in Ballarat Myer i have noticed, clearly cause being a bigger store & also more sizes avail i have also noticed at the Melb Myer)
Storm ... so funny as the word trashy came to mind when i was writing this thread but didn't want to insult any Target lovers, not meaning ALL there garments BUT there certainly are quite a few to be questioned about the design, fabric & workmanship in making.
Astrid ... my MIL gave DD a jacket from there recently, it was the 1st i have heard of the JK shop ... so will look there too (none in Ballarat, will head to Melb).
I forgot to mention i too purchased heaps of items for DD off eBay when a bub. These days i buy from OZtion (cause the Sellers sell a lot of items cheaper cause their overhead there are not as high as eBay) and on the rare occasion i buy off eBay if it's something particular i'm after. Also i purchase from Kmart when they have the buy one get the 2nd item 60% off but i have found the same items i bought DD there last year are now heaps dearer$ just cause it's now the next range of size up for NOT much more fabric

Pumpkin patch online like someone else mentioned. Every year when the new spring stuff comes out I've found huge discounts on stuff, recently bought 12 items for $130, and this included thick warm cardigans that were $15 from $40. Colors and sizes vary to whats left cause its just end stock they are clearing out.
I so know what you mean bout Target, I made the mistake going there start year spent alot money on next to nothing stuff.
Best and less I don't mind, haven't had much of a problem there.
Milkshake stuff I have bought a few things, when there is a sale its quite good and yes the stuff is quite nice.
I actually have some coles myer vouchers that need spending, you've put me in a shopping mood.....
Wow Shell that's an absolute bargain$$ ... i think i'm gonna have to have more of a look online at PP too
Anney ... i would buy DD's shoes from a factory outlet in Altona (Clark's shoes seriously sooo cheap) BUT i'm sad to say cause of all the Pacific Brands Company staff cuts early in the year they closed this shop down ... we were told that the shoes can be purchased from the Holeproof factory outlet in Brunswick BUT were advice it most likely wouldn't be much stock, we are still not sure if they are there as we haven't gone there yet. (DP works for Pacific brands so will let you know if i find out ' if ' there is ever anywhere else !!!)

most the deals are on the e-sale part so make sure you click there.
ETA: Having a look myself there doesn't seem as much as when I looked last was prolly 6 weeks ago or something. Guess it depends on when you look.

thanks for the tips ladies. I used to do most of dds shopping at target but I am soooo over it. I had to return a coat on which the stitching around every single button hole came undone the first time she wore it and it was difficult to find one on the rack that did not have the same problem. but what I dislike most is shoes. Dd loves thongs and we usually by the decorative type ie. not just the rubber ones and the sole comes away from the thong in the first few months. same thing on shoes.
so if anyone can recommend a good but not too expensive place to buy shoes or brand that would be great.
Off to check out online PP now. ta

bit off topic (sorta) but the clothes for adults at target/kmart are ridiculously priced also. if i had the money to spend 60-90 on a dress/coat etc then i sure as heck wouldnt go to target to buy it! those are the places where you are supposed to be able to afford to buy the stuff.

I agree, JK kids is comparable to pumpkin patch but a bit cheaper in price. Quality has always been brilliant - lasts and lasts. And I think there designs are a bit more less run of the mill. One of my favourites for kiddies.

Lots of the kids brands at Myer are nice, especially when they are on sale.
I like Sprout.
Target so seem to be a lot more expensive that they used to be, comparable to PP in price when I think the quality of some items (particularly snpas on onesies) are from from the same.
I think we have a pac brands outlet ( I know its bonds at least) locally I will have a look for shoes..I doubt it though..
... might wanna check as i know a few have closed (my DP works IT for Pac B), we use to get DD's Clarks shoes at their Altona outlet (with DP staff discount too) but that's now gone
