Every times clothes shopping season comes around I want to smash my head through a wall!! I am so bad at it.
Now that I let that out...
How do I get affordable kids clothes in lakewood? I thought fashion wholesalers was supposed to be cheap, but shabbos dresses are $30 - $40!! if thats the cheapest im afraid to check the other stores. (I didnt find anything to fit her there anyway)
I didn't see any shabbos things for toddler boys at serendipity, and fashion wholesalers had a top for $20 (!!)
Its so hard for me to find decent stuff at the mall. And when I shop online I return almost everything for fit or tznius reasons.
I didn't have good luck with serendipity this year, I guess I'll try again.
BTW I need girls shabbos shoes too.
Sorry for the rant. Any advice?

Try Zara, h and m, next direct.
But $20 for a Top is quite cheap. Clothing costs money.

Nope, what is their price range?
I forgot to mention that I am pretty new to lakewood so I don't know the stores that well.

A boys shirt if its to wear under a sweater you can buy ut a little bigger to have more use out of it. Same with sweaters you can buy big and roll up sleeve and tuck up the bottom.

Try gap on sale. They are 50 off today. You won't find the Jewish/European trends but you'll find classics.

I'm afraid you aren't being realistic about the price of new clothing.
30 dollars for a girls shabbos dress and 20 for a top in a frum store with "frum" style are extremely cheap.
If you post your kids sizes, people here may have ideas for online finds.

Tznius clothing that is made for Frum companies is expensive .
New outfits/dresses for girls can cost close to $100!!! People often buy one or 2 new things for their kids for yomtov so they look up to date.
Fashion wholesalers usually sells previous years clothing from Frum companies for a fraction of the price. It’s really a good deal...
if your kids are young and not aware of fashion you can try cheaper options like target, children’s place.... usually it’s hard to find tznius clothing for older girls there.
I have some children’s clothing from other years. If you tell me what sizes your kids wear I can see what I have.

Yes, $30-$40 for a Shabbos dress is quite cheap in the frum stores. Try Clover, I saw dresses there in that range and they have boys’ clothes too (plus baby and women’s).

I don’t think you’re going to find cheaper than $20 a top in a Jewish store

You mentioned that you need shoes/
First of all, there’s a shoe gemach in west gate that sell new shoes at a decent price.
There’s also mrs miller in Brookhill on engleberg who sells European quality shoes for around $50.
There’s Payless... sometimes you can find decent shabbos shoes for very cheap..
Frum style clothing is definitely more than Walmart clothing... but they look nicer too (usually)... if you found something you liked at fashion wholesaler you should probably just buy it- you won’t find cheaper
Try kiddichic on 2nd Street - they have good prices too...

I think $30-$40 for a whole outfit is a good price, I was able to accomplish that at Clover and Kidichic for boys and girls. Primark in the Freehold mall is also great for inexpensive basics, the girls side had some sweaters that could be considered Shabbos-dik. Also I got inexpensive turtlenecks/ruffled mocknecks from Primark that ended up being a lot cheaper than buying a shell and also a lot nicer (imo). Serendipity is amazing, the thing is you really have to go often, they're always getting more things.

I'm with you! I mostly go with childrens place/serendipity/hand me downs and am blessed to live in a neighborhood where it doesn't matter.

For toddler I wouldn’t get from frum store unless you need a that ‘frum’ look. At that age I did children’s place or old navy pants with an Oxford and maybe a sweater top. The toddler didn’t care.
I buy my girls clothing at off second. But even there dresses are $20-30 on average. I don’t think you can do cheaper for a fully Tzinius dress.
