Yesterday we braved the crowds at the first day of the Please Mum Warehouse Sale for 2011. I’m a sale hunter for Aiden’s clothes, often shopping 1-3 sizes ahead in order to get good deals. Things like t-shirts and pants can be worn all year round, so there’s never any chance (with boys clothes at least) of stuff not being worn. I’ll buy seasonal items early too, but I’m more careful about buying only 1 size ahead for those.
Though Please Mum is my least favourite store for boys clothing (I hate track pants and dislike typical graphic tees), I decided to see if I could find some basics anyway. A good deal is a good deal, after all! I walked out with 4 long sleeved shirts, 3 pants and 2 sweaters for under $60.

If you go, be prepared for a long wait. The tables are not perfectly consistent in sizes and the line to pay can be quite long. Raspberry Kids is also having a Warehouse sale this weekend, you can see their sale section for more hints as to their likely merchandise.
