I would like to buy down winter coats from gap. They currently have a pre-thanks giving sale, 50% off!
I'm on a tight budget. Should I wait for cyber Monday and possibly a better deal, or do I risk them running out of stock? I like a specific color and will be upset if it runs out, on other hand don't want to spend if its gonna get a lot cheaper. Experienced shoppers please chime in!

It probably won't get cheaper. It will also likely sell out. The style I wanted already did:(

In my experience, it won't get a lot cheaper. But it's very likely may sell out. I would get it.

You can always re-order if it goes cheaper. And return the one you got now.

Ye gap has great customer service I always call to adjust prices if I get a coupon code a few days after I placed order...

Buy now. I had 3 items in my shopping cart online yesterday... And when I went to purchase them today they were all sold out in the sizes I wanted.
I don't think you'll find much better than 50% anyway.

OP, thanks for mentioning!

Sorry to hijack, but does anyone know how gap's sizes run? I am remembering that they run big, but I don't want to order too small.

If my daughter wears an 18 months in Carters, should I buy 12-18 mos. or 18-24 mos.?

Sometimes pre thanksgiving sales are better or almost as good as black Friday / cyber Monday.

Buy now and you can get a price adjustment for two weeks if the price goes lower.

How do you get a price adjustment? Call customer service?

Yes. Call customer service and give them your order number.
You can even do it before the items get to you

I'm in Israel. I can't return. I really want to know that it will fit. I don't want to risk it being big either. I have plenty of the next size up just hardly any in her current size and need more. I can't decide btw 12-18 mos. or 18-24 mos. On the size chart, for height she's borderline. But if it runs big, I want to size down.

If you're debating between 18-24 and 12-18, get the bigger size. She'll outgrow it before you know it anyway.

(I think the sizes are accurate, but they're definitely not on the big side.)

Thanks! But I am davka looking for something that would fit now. She's not outgrowing clothes quickly anymore. Her build is very thin so if I get pants that are too big, I roll them up the whole day or she's tripping on them. (And when they're so big they unroll...)

Do you have any experience w/ Carters vs. Gap? B/c I've heard that Carters runs big. If that is the case, maybe 18-24 mos. would fit?

Amother - go to gap in Israel and try on a coat or two to see which size fits.
I generally find that gap runs big so I wouos take the smaller siZe but when I did that once (with a dress) with one of my kids it ended yo being small so trying on is the def the way to go.

Carters is very accurate. My baby wears a 9 months carters and a 6-12 in gap.
