As a mom to a 7- and 8-year-old, I’m always amazed at how fast they grow. It seems every time I buy them new clothes, I turn around, and they’ve outgrown them.
Munchkin’s Kloset gift cards received.
I like to keep them well dressed and in cute clothes but because they grow so fast, I’m always looking for how to save money on kids clothes. That’s why I am excited about Munchkin’s Kloset in Strongsville, Ohio. I was invited out to the store to check it out and do some shopping for Kora & Logan.
I’ve shopped at children’s resale shops in the past and have found them a great way to save money. I consider myself an experienced resale shopper and couldn’t wait to see what Munchkin’s Kloset had to offer.
We are pretty familiar with the area and as I drove on Pearl road I could easily see the sign from the street. One thing to note, the shop is not directly located under the sign.
You have to walk to the “elbow” of the mall, the city told the owners they could only have one sign so they chose the location that would be most visible from the street. It really is easy to navigate, just park and look for the brightly lit shop full of children’s clothes and the open sign.
When we first entered the shop I couldn’t believe how large it was. It’s definitely the largest kids resale shop that I have every been to. With racks and rack of clothing in all kinds of sizes I couldn’t wait to see what they had for Kora & Logan.
Kora was immediately attracted to the hundreds of hairbows they had lining the checkout as well as throughout the store.
Logan loved the little shopping carts for kids which I thought were too cute too.
The adorable boutique style baby clothes lining the walls caught my eye, especially these cute 1st birthday outfits.
The endcaps were also styled with both beautiful and cute outfits and accessories that were for sale at great prices.
The kids and I started off looking for clothes for Kora and we spent an hour just in her size which is a 10/12.
There were tops, pants, skirts, dresses, jackets, shorts, everything item of clothing you could imagine and Kora wanted it all! She really isn’t much of shopper, but she was entranced by everything they had in her size. Lots of big names and plenty of one of her favorites – Justice. I was pleased with the prices too. They ranged from $4 to $9.99 or so.
Next we went over to Logan’s section where shopping for him went much faster. He honestly hates to shop but he did get excited about a few items of clothing for him. I was pleased with the selection in his size, he can where size 7 & small 8’s.
I often have a hard time finding cute clothes for him. It seems that many stores/brands feel that 12-year-old boys and 6-year-old boys like the same things. So all the cute stuff they wore when they were 5 and under suddenly turns to skulls and crossbones, skeletons, characters with stitches or bloodshot eyes, etc. So needles say there was such a variety in his size that I was able to find him some cute things that he is excited to wear. I was also happy that the items we saw in Logan’s size ranged from $2 – $8.
We also checked out the huge selection of books.
We had to stop by the toys and games as well.
I was excited to see such a wonderful selection of both toys & games and and at great prices too. I’ll be coming back here before any upcoming holidays where we need gifts for the kids.
While we stayed in the bigger kids sizes, I did pop into an aisle or two to see what the shop had to offer for little ones. The selection was vast and adorable!! I had to get out of there fast before baby fever hit!
After we tried on soccer shoes we realized we’d been there for nearly two hours. The kids were getting hungry and it was time to checkout. The employees were very helpful and friendly and checkout was speedy and quick.
We got home and I laid out our haul, pretty impressive!
We had a great time shopping at Munchkin’s Kloset in Strongsville, Ohioand highly recommend it to anyone in the area or those visiting, wondering how to save money on kids clothes. The shop is well maintained, the clothing is high quality, and the prices are affordable. They did tell me when we were there that only about 50% of their stock was out and at that time I was impressed with the selection.
This gives me the perfect excuse to go back and I’m checking my calendar now to fit another trip in as soon as possible.
What about you? How do you save money on kids clothes?
I have not been into very many resale shops, but that place looks very clean compared to others I have seen. I have never understood why people go to these big name kids stores that always have some sort of phony “sale” going on, and overpay for something that your kids will not wear for more than a few months.
I buy all of the clothes for my five grandchildren. I sometimes shop at the one and only children’s resale shop where I live but I also go to yard sales to purchase some of the clothing. I also shop the sales as local department stores and online and find that I can get brand new clothing for less than I can at the local resale shop. I will never pay full price for kids clothing and have a limit on what I will spend on an item.
Quite useful tips to save money kids clothes. When you want to save money kids clothes, you should consider checking out wholesale clothing stores. You can also find a vast variety in kid clothes along with good discount.
I have done resale clothes for both my kids. It is so worth the amount of money you save. I can’t believe how nice this store is!
We have a resale shop like that where I’m at, but my kids and I love thrift stores! We love a good bargain!
nice store…Lost of interesting items
It’s not just growth spurts are the problem – my kids are always getting stains that are impossible to get out!
What a nice store, love the kids shopping carts too. When my son was younger, I used a lot of promo codes to save money on his clothes :)
Lots of great items! It looks like a very nice store. I wish we had one where I live.
This reminds me a lot of some of the consignment stores in our area. I love finding great deals on clothing that has been hardly worn! Looks like you found some great stuff!
Very cool! Nicely done!
That store looks really awesome! We go to a local one here in the San Francisco Bay Area, but it’s much smaller and no cool shopping carts. :) And yes, there are some awesome finds once in a while.
Wow, nice store….I’m always looking for a bargain, these days every savings counts.
This is a very nice place to shop and get good deals on kids clothes. I like the pink and purple tops that I can get! My sister would love to shop her. I think it is very organized and a nice looking thrift shop. I save a lot of money on clothes for my son at thrift shops!
I save money by thrift xhops, too. This one is amazing – I hope they expand! I could go cray in a store like that! I love the set up so – so inviting and attractive!
The drawback of having a boy and a girl — no hand me downs. Swapping with the nieces and nephews helps.
i’ve never seen such a cute thrift shop very organized… nothing like that here in arizona. at least not that nice.
Oh wow…this looks extremely organized! I’m glad you posted, as I did not know this existed (we’re on the other side of town) I’ll be making a trip out to check it out. In fact, I’m tempted to call up the little one’s grandma and make a trip out today since it’s so rainy outside.
What a nice store! So neat and organized. When the kids were younger, I would often shop at resale shops and rummage sales for their clothes.
The store is HUGE! We save by going to nd hand shops, garage sales and buying off season.
Thrift stores, garage sales and cool places like you found.
Wow Tesa, this place looks fabulous!! I don’t have kids but I had to buy some b-day gifts for a friend’s grandchild and I spent a small fortune on a little dress and swimsuit…..glad you all had fun and found great deals!
