I received a $50 gift card to Tanger Outlets from the sponsor as a US Family Guide Blogger. All opinions are 100% my own.
Did I ever mention how much I love shopping? I love shopping because I LOVE looking for great deals. Plain and simple. The more I can save off retail, the more I love to shop.
This past weekend was Tanger Outlets Back to School Taste & Style Experience. While not as epic as their previous Taste & Style Event, I managed to save a TON of money getting Sweet Pea some clothes for our upcoming yearly family vacation as well as next summer.
So here is what I got. My mother-in-law watched Sweet Pea for me, so I got to shop in peace. LOL I did meet my dear friend and shopping buddy, Shirlee, at Claire's where we headed over to Carter's. The deals there were meh. I wasn't very impressed although I did want to buy everything because of the explosion of cuteness. But I digress...
We then headed over to the food trucks because it was 11:30 and I didn't eat breakfast. I decided to grab a $4 soft chicken taco from Gezzo's Grille. And it was delicious! There weren't as many Food Trucks as there were in March, but they still had a great selection and of course my favorite!
And then back to shopping!
I love Gymboree. Did you know that their clothes are pre-washed to reduce shrinking? I found some super cute shirts and shorts for $5 a piece! I stocked up for next summer for Sweet Pea.
Osh Kosh B'Gosh was were the GREAT deals were. Shirlee had to leave before I went to this store. I always check out clearance and although Osh Kosh doesn't let you use coupons on certain items like clearance, but they were having an additional 30% off clearance sale PLUS spend $20 and get a FREE $20 Shutterfly gift card! How great is that?!
Hubby absolutely needed some white under shirts, so I went to a Hanes Brands store and browsed. Okay so I'm going to confess something here. I never buy Hubby white under shirts. His mom is the only one who does. They were prices $15.99 each and if you bought three, you got one free. I had to look up online to see if this was a good deal. I had NO idea! I got to use my 20% off coupon that I printed at home and what was left on my gift card, so I only came $9 out of pocket for the whole shopping trip!
Have you been back to school shopping yet? Are you going to use coupons? Where are you going?
I am so excited to be sharing this event as part of being a US Family Guide Blogger. We had so much fun at the last Taste & Style Event!

Started the day at around 10 a.m. I wanted to make sure I got there early enough to make sure everything was in order for the day.
We went to Carter's first and let the kiddos play with puzzles while we shopped.
We let the girls ride the carousel.
And since Tanger was hosting the first annual Taste and Style Event, they had face painting. And TONS of food trucks! We ate at Great Pretzel, Gezzo's Grill, AND Great American Cookie over the course of the day. Gezzo's Grill was our favorite!
They had a mermaid walking on stilts that we didn't manage to get a picture with, tons of games for the kiddos, free food tastings, and an air cannon that shot out candy!
Of course after this awesome day, Sweet Pea was exhausted.
Thank you US Family Guide and Tanger for an amazing event! I can't wait until next year! :D
