Ya’ll might think I’m crazy. 😉 But one of the easiest ways to save money is to BUY AHEAD! As we start to see Summer Clothing Clearance pop up, start buying in next year’s sizes for your kids. But on the flip side, it’s also one of the BEST times of the year to purchase any Winter items you see that are on sale!
NOTE: If you have never shopped on Zulily before, you will need to create an account first before you can see the items on sale. Don’t worry, it’s a super fast/easy process. Then you can shop any of the deals I’ve posted below with the directions to purchase.
Zulily started a sale today for Kid’s Winter Boots. And they are as low as $17.79! (reg $45+) I actually purchased these boots for my kids last year and they have been awesome! I would definitely recommend them.
Not only that, but last night I purchased both of my kids Arctix Snow Bib Pants for $19.99 for the upcoming Snow Season! (Reg $35-$45) And I opted to buy them 2 sizes bigger so they can hopefully last 2 winter seasons instead of just one–especially since it doesn’t matter if your kid’s snow gear is a little big. They look like a giant marshmallow no matter what you do! haha. 😉
To find all of the Snow Boots, search for the word “Snow Tec” over here. Or to find the Snow Pants, search for the word “Arctix” over here. They should both pop up for you.
Remember that stores like Target don’t start out with their Winter items on sale. You have to wait until they mark them down or do some sort of promotion. So by buying them ahead of time like this, you can have them BEFORE any snow hits and get a great deal!
I also saw that there is a London Fog Sale too. I grabbed these same coats a couple years ago for the Freebies2Deals Secret Santa Project to donate them to kids in need. These coats are as low as $24.99 with the sale–AND some of them come with a hat or gloves! (Just search for “London Fog” over here to find the sale.)
Hope that helps! Remember that shipping on Zulily is typically $7.99–no matter how much you buy in one order. OR, you can use VISA Checkout and your order will ship free! (It’s super easy to set up, as long as you are paying with a VISA Debit or Credit Card.) Once you are set up with VISA Checkout–and some of you probably already are with other deals I have posted that included them, it will speed up your checkout process!

I compared the boot prices with Amazon, and if you’re looking at bigger kid sizes, the prices are pretty comparable. The other benefit is you can return things to Amazon, and you can’t return to Zulily.

LOVE London Fog coats, we purchase them every year, but they are always cheaper at stores like Ross, TJMaxx, and Marshalls if you have any of those stores nearby.
