Shoes, SHOES, ShOeS

When you have three kids and two of them are hard on shoes, costs for footwear quickly add up.  Ella especially goes through shoes so fast due to her particular gait which routinely grinds holes into the soles of her shoes.

Bought on 9/25/15 - Hole in Sole by 11/6/15

So, we were thrilled when we came upon a Stride Rite going out of business sale at the mall.  Shoes were selling like hotcakes and we were quick to join the crowd.  We purchased 22 pairs of shoes for $263.20.  That's less than $12 a pair and, according to the receipt, $951.05 in savings. Our kids should be set now for the next two to three years in terms of footwear.  Wahoo!

Our loot

Rex's new shoes - all pretty much the same-
shoes with no fasteners are great for him

Ella's new shoes

Emilia's new shoes - she's my kiddo who'd rather be barefoot
