Q1: With our fabulous weather and the kids enjoying jumping into the pool, it’s almost unfair to take them back-to-school shopping, but schools are opening in less than 2 weeks – do they really have to go shopping now?

A: Yes, especially this year as manufacturers are making less stock. Less stock means less or no repeat orders for the stores, so the styles or sizes you want may not be there later on.

Q2: I’m looking at 27 degrees out there today, does this include snowsuits too?
Yup, snowsuits come in now. The greatest selection is now. There may be very few to choose from if you wait till November.

Q3: You always seem to have secret warehouse stores to score good deals, are there any for kid’s clothing?
