I am going to exchange it and tell her to be careful. Ugh! I stock up at garage sales on pants to. DD3 is currently in 8/10's and can not wear DD2's clothes due to different body types. So I went to my friends garage sale and bought her daughters 12's! Hope they fit, they are slims, but if not, I'll just resell them for the .50 to 1.00 that I spent. Hey, I love the track my progress picture on the sidebar! Cool! My DD3’s backpack from JCPenney has already torn and she just went back on the 17th!!!

Another good bet for backpacks is LL Bean. I buy all my son's clothes at least 6 months ahead of time (fall/winter clothes in early spring) etc. I probably pay only 30% of what other people spend on clothes. I like Frugal!
