The New Mommy and Me

September 19th, 2010

The consignment store Mommy and Me in Tyler Texas has moved to a new location. Before they moved their store was really small and was unable to keep all the clothes organize in the store, and many times had to set up a lot of their clothes outside. Although they had their boy’s clothes separated from their girl’s clothes. It was hard to find what you were looking for. In the old location, Mommy and Me was tucked on the side of a building that you could not really see it from the road, it was easy to drive right past it.

The new location (which was formally California Girl) makes the store easier to find. Even though the location have moved and the store is larger, it has not changed the clothes they sale. When you are shopping at Mommy and Me you really have to make sure there are not any stains or rips in the clothes. I understand that they clothes that they sale are all used clothes and are resold at their store, but I think that they should have a smaller selection of clothing that are in better shape. It is hard to dig through clothes that are all stained to find the one outfit that is the right size and clean.

It is harder to find good clothes for infants, because most of the clothes are not in very good shape, but they are sold at great prices. Their little boy’s selection is really small most of the time. Their selections do vary so you can always find something new when you return. Mommy and Me does have a better selection for girls from sizes 18months-3T (which is great for me since I shop for those sizes).

Selling your used clothes at a consignment store is a great way to put a little extra cash in your pocket especially because kids grow so fast and only wear one size for a few months. The people that work and own Mommy and Me are great to work with and are really nice.

I think that it is worth going to Mommy and Me. Even though you have to dig to find what you are looking for, it is possible for you to find something in good shape for a great price. Shopping here is sort of a like a treasure hunt, which can be fun but frustrating at the same time.

Baby Shopping Showdown

January 8th, 2010

As a mom of two young girls the shopping experience can become stressful. The Tyler Texas area, being so spread out, is inconvenient, to say the least, for the mother on the go. Second hand stores, to high priced brand names, to big chains, we have what you are looking for, you just have to know where to look.

As a second hand store “Mommy and me” is a hot spot for hot prices. You can get a cute out fit for a dollar, but you might want to stop and get some club soda to get out the old spit up stains. If you are willing to dig deep you can get your moneys worth. I have found outfits that were not torn or faded, or just out of date. Although the employees that work there are always helpful and polite, and answer any questions you might have. I do love a personal touch to a store and its services. If you do decide to shop “Mommy and me” expect to find great conversation and great prices but not the cleanest or nicest hand-me-downs.
!
If the name on the tag is more important than the price on the tag, shop “Snug as a Bug”. Honestly, I don’t understand why you should pay $50 for a pair of shoes that your kids will wear for three months, but maybe that’s just my opinion. There is more than just clothes at this quaint corner store, your child’s room could be filled with beauty and value. From furniture, to curtains, to diaper bags, they have it all. Though I love the style and look of the “Snug as a Bug” products, the prices are not worth my time.

At the big chain stores, you can be sure to find good products at decent prices. “The Children’s Place” (Broadway Square Mall) and “Babies R Us” (Corner of Loop 323 and Donnybrook) are two of my personal favorite stores in Tyler. Its easy to find what you are looking for in the right sizes. No need to get stressed or have to dig, which is very convenient when you have to shop with small children. You can always expect new items determined by the season.
!
The main frustration of shopping big chain stores is that the personal services are lacking, like the feeling everyone sees you and knows you need help but avoids you in hope that their shift will go by faster. I hate circling the store looking for someone to tell me if they have a 18 months size of the shirt I have been carrying around for ten minutes. The employees at these two stores are usually very helpful, but I have had times that I felt lost and frustrated. The shopping experience should be convenient and easy. When its all laid out or hung up on the RIGHT places its much more delightful to shop at those stores. You might even enjoy yourself! 

Though second hand stores such as “Mommy and Me” have great prices, and top name brands such as “Snug as a bug” have great value, I will stick with the big chain stores so that I can always be certain of convenience, prices, and value with no let downs

Arndt Kids Cute

December 14th, 2009

       As you walk into the cute re-sale store you are greeted by the nice staff. Aren’t Kids Cute has a few different rooms full of clothes and toys for children of all ages. Since this is a re-sale store make sure that you double check every piece of clothing that you purchase to make sure that there is no stains or rips.

        I have always have had good experiences with the clothing here, though you can tell that things are older and have been used before. You can always find a great deal here, but I have seen things that, in my opinion, were some what over priced. You may have to dig but you will find something for all your children. When you walk up to the large deck, you will find a great selection of swings and high chairs. Most of which are in very great shape.

       The staff are always very kind and helpful. They are quick to answer any questions you might have about donating or help you if you are trying to find anything specific. Arndt Kids Cute also sells adorable homemade hair bows. Each are priced according to size.

      Come see what is new at Aren’t Kids Cute and find a great deal on cute clothes in Tyler!

Ross Clothing Store in Tyler

October 14th, 2009

If you are walking into an over crowded store with woman digging elbow deep into material and throwing clothes across the room and onto the floor, most likely you just walked into Tyler’s Ross store.

Row after row of over crowded racks of clothes. I do a lot of shopping at Ross. I love to find a cute outfit for a great price. It does get really frustrating stepping over half the clothes in the store and shirts getting stuck in the wheels of the shopping cart. They have cute clothes woman of all sizes, misses to juniors. Woman’s clothes over runs the store and pushes the men’s section into a small corner. You might have to dig for the perfect outfit that you are looking for, but the price will make it completely worth it. Find the cutest prom dress for $40 or a cute summer dress for $10. But make sure that there are no holes and stains, or a shoe print. Even find cute shoes but they are never on the right shelf (if on a shelf) or even with the matching shoe.

I can rarely find a cute outfit in the kids section that does not have a rip or stain. The toys’ boxes are always taped back together and the shoes are never in the right sizes. They have all different toys, blankets and all other baby necessities. If you find something that is cute in good shape you are going to find it with a great price.

The men’s selection is pushed into the small front corner of the store and most of the clothes are odd or odd sizes. It is really hard to find a nice outfit there for men. But every once in awhile you might find a decent shirt, or jeans, or even a pair of unmentionables.

Ross has all different things to clothe your house. Find a great gift for a friend. Find great dishes sets or fun picture frames. Also you can find fun candles and beautiful candle holders. Flavor up your living room by decorating your plain couch with fancy pillows and cushions. The pillow aisle is pretty much impossible to stroll the cart down because there are usually more pillows on the floor than there are pillows on the shelf. Find a cute blanket to bring your furniture and house together.

Finish off the perfect outfit with a fun scarf, or hand bag. Keep coming back to Ross to see what is new and on sale. If it is cold out find a cute hat and gloves, and if it’s a sunny summer day find a great pair of sunglasses. So find a great deal and have fun digging. Ross in Tyler Texas really is the best place to “dress for less”.
