I also like to get the kids clothes for Christmas there. And at Sears and Burlington Coat Factory, because I can do layway…it is so much easier for me to pay a little but at a time, rather then all at once.

December 10th, 2009 at 4:01 PM
Melissa- They had several of them in the men’s section as gifts. I just looked it up and could have paid $24.99 for it retail. So I made a good choice in buying it there for $15. They also had great pj pants on sale too that I got him and my step-son to open up Christmas Eve.

December 10th, 2009 at 4:02 PM
