This past weekend, Jen had the opportunity to attend a "pre-sale sale" for Kellys’ Kids. What the heck is that? Well, Jen’s cousin Katie, has a cousin whose husband bought a business from his mom and sister named Kelly…confused yet? I am and I know what I’m talking about. Anyway, this business is called Kelly’s Kids and they sell kids clothes. Twice a year, they have a warehouse sale where they allow a bunch of crazed women (and men I guess) into their warehouse to ravage their shelves for all things $5.99. So Jen was put “on the list” and somehow conned Emily to go with her (and all the kiddos) to Natchez, MS to get into there before the general public. A 2 hour drive and 20+ items later, Jen emerged successful from her conquest. Seriously, she wanted me to call in sick to work so she could go, but she was able to somehow bribe Emily into accompanying her. The clothes are real quality and of course Jen is an expert outfit-picker-outer so the dudes will be dressed to the nines.
Antoinette was busy with her last day of school on Friday so she was unable to make it to the pre-sale sale. The Melerines came up to BR and the ladies hopped back in the car and went back to Natchez to join the general public while Vincent and I stayed home to watch the kids. A few hours later, both Antoinette and Jen arrived back home each with 20+ items (for those of you that are counting, that is over 40 items and about 8 hours in the car for Connisonville). They came back with stories of crazed shoppers that were tossing clothes from here to there and pulling and arguing over shirts, etc. They actually were in line on Saturday morning complete with tailgate tents and coolers to wait for the doors to open at nine. Those people are crazy, it’s as simple as that.
Jen was diligent in making sure that she was buying stuff that Owen could wear today, and Parker and Jack would be able to wear next summer. Depending on what pops out on August 20th, this might have been a super successful trip to Natchez. With 40 items purchased at $5.99, it is still a lot of money, but the retail value of all of these things is worth approximately $30-50 a piece, meaning….We won’t be buying anything from Kelly’s kids at retail price when we can go to the sale!!!
Needless to say, in 6 months, Daddy has been instructed to take off of work that day so Jen can “save money.” I just have to love that woman and her ability to
Since clothing 3 (almost 4) children isn’t necessarily the cheapest thing in the world, Jen has become a master at finding a deal on the boys clothes. survival warehouse products
