I bought a few pairs of colorful koala for pregnancy bc they’re 1. Cheap 2. Soft and 3. Super stretchy/don’t have compression. They’re definitely not something I’d trust to last in the long run, but if you’re planning on wearing them a few months (maybe upwards of a year if you’re lucky) they’re pretty comfortable.

Amazon has off-season clothing year-round, based on whatever season we're in at the moment. Perform specific searches (ex.: "Boy's jacket size X"). You'll have to deliberately search for these items since Amazon will show you what's popular and in season now without any search specifics. Last summer I bought winter boots for $40something, and saw the same pair in December for almost $200. Another option is shopgoodwill.com which is the online store for Goodwill. Yup! They have an online store. You can search by item, location, and price range. You'll have to pay shipping, and shipping varies based on the item's location and weight. However, if you find some clothing for your kids for 90% off, then paying $7 to ship the haul might make sense for you. Either way, it's going to be cheaper than the mall or even some discount stores, and you'll be in the comfort of your home to avoid impulsivity. Edited to add: Shopgoodwill has notoriously terrible pictures, btw. Definitely nowhere near some of the quality photos on sites like eBay. However, their descriptions are usually fairly thorough and so far, accurate, in my experience. I am very utility-focused with clothing and accessories. So for me, I don't care as much what something looks like, so long as it's quality and serves the purpose that I need it to serve. I was able to get a cross body canvas purse off Goodwill, basically brand new, for $9 including the shipping. It was Dooney and Bourke! I don't care about the label but the purse must have been at least $150 new, and I got it for less than 1/10th of that. :) More on reddit.com

This has nothing to do with your post, but if you work at amazon in the fashion section in whatever capacity, for the LOVE OF GOD, you need to do something to change this sizing guide to bras

People trust Amazon. People believe what Amazon tells them about whether a product is right for them. So, to see this guide on Amazon drives me utterly insane, because it ISN'T the correct way to measure for a bra. It took years for me to determine my own size, and it was only after finding the wonderful r/abrathatfits community that everything fell into place. I want other women to know that feeling, and if Amazon had the right sizing guidelines on their website, I'm sure more women would.

There are two things that completely invalidate this guide. The first is the instruction to measure while wearing a bra. This is not going to do any good--it means the woman is only measuring the bra she's wearing, instead of her actual breasts.

Second, and much more critically--this guide has the woman measuring at the COMPLETELY WRONG location for the band measurement. The band measurement directly corresponds to the circumference below the breasts, where the band will sit.

Everything else is spot-on, but those two errors are definitely going to land women in the wrong size of bra. I don't know who wrote it originally, or who is in charge of it now, or if you even have the power to change it--but it's WRONG, it will put women into the WRONG bra, and as a trusted online retailer, Amazon has the power and obligation to help women into the correct size.

If there's anything you can do to change this, please please please please do!

A couple tips: products are some times listed as “$9.00-$200.00” with the nine dollar one being xxxs and bright green. To avoid that, put your size in the filter amazon has several clothing lines and ofc they are featured prominently. They’re all fine quality wise, except the shoes imho. I wouldn’t do this exclusively. I don’t care for brand name because of the name, but the quality is more consistent, and I can feel confident that the workers who made the clothes are treated semi decently More on reddit.com
