How are you ladies organizing your shopping for school and Yom tov?
I am pregnant and have young children so I can't spend a lot of time after work running around without disrupting the evening routine and draining my own energy. And in Lakewood, stores are CRAZY on Sundays!

I ordered everything on line this last week.
H&M
Famous footwear
Shirt stop
Old navy
Children place
Winter coat from random site

That’s it. They have what they have.

That's why sometimes I order online. Order more than I need, knowing about 1/2 (sometimes more) of the stuff won't fit and will get returned. If they charge for shipping abd return shipping, it's still worth avoiding the headache of going to the store.

I've ordered tottini, kidichik, junee. And target and amazon and geox. I'm sure theres more good sites.

Just make sure they have a return policy you can work with.

My oldest 3 are boys and I put DH in charge. If he can buy his own clothing he can buy for 11/7/5 year old boys too. I have done this for years and its great.

My girls are still very little but I will probably get the 3 1/2 year old some things for yomtov after school starts and the 1 1/2 year old gets her hand me downs.

I am due in November, so I’m shopping and planning while pregnant too. I have one child who needs a uniform, which I already bought from children’s place. I do a lot of Amazon and/or online shopping, but I do take two sundays- one to take my girls and one to take my boys, into an actual store.

Only online. Never ever ever in store. NEVER

Same. And if I can't return for free (or sometimes a small fee) I don't buy it

I love love love shopping so my entire kids wardrobes are done (I shop in stores on weekday mornings)
For weekdays I mostly shop online, I’m in Lakewood so my boys need polos for school, so I buy throughout the year when various sites have sales like Ralph Lauren, Lacoste, under armor, brooks brothers, j crew etc

Winter coats I bought last year before pesach when all the stores had coats at 70% off

Shabbos clothes I buy at the local frum stores, and my older boys wear white shirts from His Place

That’s basically it. Don’t mean to get anyone nervous! I just genuinely love it

I work 40+ hours a week. I simply cannot shop in stores. BH for the internet!!
I shop online, but only places where I can easily do free returns.
Amazon (recently has lots more options!),Shein, target, H&M, Zara, old navy, childrens place for the younger kids.
I order lots of things and in multiple sizes, assemble a wardrobe and then return everything in one shopping trip.

I ordered a few cute things from h and m and Zara. I buy one shabbas outfit from the Jewish store to have and not be stressed about. The rest I do after Yom Tov as the sales start.
