Warm Up With a Bowl of Chunky Soup

Bottom Dollar Prices on Children's Clothes

in Kirkwood has begun its twice-annual redline items sale on children's clothes. The resale shop is offering a $1 deal on fleece wear, coats, pants, long sleeve shirts and other clothing items for children from birth to 24 months. The store is marking the winter-wear items down to make room for the upcoming season.

Shoes For a Nice Price

A no-brainer when it comes to ongoing footwear deals, in Kirkwood is running a sale this month where customers can pay half price for a pair of shoes after purchasing another pair for full price. Considering the rough wear-and-tear that winter ice and salt put on shoes, it might be the right time to pick out a couple of pairs for yourself or the kids.

Your Kids Will Have a Ball

The store in Sunset Hills has a wide variety of clearance items. One of the best deals is a bounce house marked down from $49.99 to $34.99. The inflatable ball pit from Ballzillion offers limitless fun for kids age three and up.

The More You Shop, the More You Save

in Crestwood has a nice deal on imported red seedless grapes this week. You can purchase a pound for $1.48, but with the discount ending Satuday, there's no time to waste.
