So now that Shane is almost 2 & a half and is showing some signs of readiness, we’ve begun the journey of potty training. While I was doing research to find out how to go about it, one tip kept popping up everywhere: to buy “big boy” underwear featuring his favorite characters, because he won’t want to, ya know, on them.

I tried this last week with the pack of underwear we had but after having him pee through 3 pairs within 2 hours, I realized it was going to take more than one pack of underwear. &Those aren’t cheap! So naturally I went to Cookie’s Kids to search for some character underwear at discount prices.

Cookie’s Kids is a website that features brand-name and in-style clothes for much less than retail price- think Ross or TJ Maxx but with a much wider selection, and often cheaper. They have clothes for everyone from infants to young adult, including school uniforms, regular clothes and even toys and accessories. And, of course, underwear! In fact, they had so many different kinds of underwear I had to let Shane choose since I was tempted to just get them all! They had Diego, Toy Story {which is the kind we already had… but paid twice as much for elsewhere}, Mickey Mouse, Sesame Street, Superheroes, Cars, Spongebob… the list goes on. Just for underwear! Shane ended up choosing the Mickey Mouse set, which is totally cute.

But of course, I get easily distracted- and what started as an online “shopping trip” for big boy underwear resulted in getting a pack of underwear, a pack of Toy Story socks {at $2.99, can you blame me?!}, a cute long sleeved t-shirt & 2 pairs of jeans. In my defense, Shane just spontaneously outgrew ALL of his 2T clothes, and even with the cost of shipping {which was a pretty hefty $12.50} I still spent less than $50!

Cookie’s Kids is a GREAT way to get cute, brand-new and in-style kid’s clothes for all ages. &While the shipping cost is high, there’s usually a coupon code floating around somewhere on the internet to make up for it or to get you free shipping {or automatically get free shipping when your purchase hits $99}. Even better- you can earn $10 for each friend you refer- AND give them $10 off their first purchase of $50 or more! {Click here to use my referral link & you and I will both get $10 to spend!}

Shane loves his new clothes!
