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 !!!)

[shellbell3]

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.

I love the Milkshake brand! I also just bought a gorgeous dress for my 2 year old dd - it was from Origami at Myer. It's a little more expensive than Milkshake, but for a special occasion they've got gorgeous stuff.

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.

Hollo- ikwym, years ago target was great but there prices have risen dramatically. I find k-mart and Big W in my price range but only for your basics. Anything nice I don't know where to look, prolly explains why I don't really have any nice dresses/ skirts!

I also buy a lot of the girls clothes from Pumpkin Patch online store.

Also at the moment Rivers online has kids clothes at 75% off!! I bought 15 items for $90. They have jeans for under $8 reduced from $40 and t-shirts for $3 and $5.

Rivers clearance outlets have some nice stuff sometimes & fairly cheap too. Last time I ws there I got 2 long sleeve Ts for $7 each & Joggers for $20
