If physically sifting through discount racks tuckers you out, try this online shopping suggestion from Kate:

“Anyone who regularly shops for baby and kid items knows how expensive it can be to do so. KidSurplus.com offers a great selection of toys, clothes, shoes, feeding items, art supplies, and other gear, all at amazingly low prices. The website is a little low-tech, and it can take a long time to look through all of the available items, but the prices are great, the brands are well known (although sometimes disguised behind cute false names), and the customer service is top-notch. This site was particularly handy back during the holidays, when I wasn't in the mood to face the stores but still wanted a good range of options for the range of babies and little people in my life. Shipping is always $7.95, no matter how much you order, and my items arrived quickly and without trouble.”
