I was going to try and be good for 2 months and not spend any money....I have not been to the PP outlet for ages, last one I went to was Onehunga and it was crap for boys.
mmm maybe a drive to Westgate is called for? ]]> Mon, 11 Aug 2008 14:30:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19975&PID=465104&title=are-pumpkin-patch-feeling-the-recession#465104 <![CDATA[Are Pumpkin Patch feeling the recession? : I have spent a small fortune in...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19975&PID=465014&title=are-pumpkin-patch-feeling-the-recession#465014 Author: MorgansMum

i think the outlet prices are great, why buy full retail price when you can get similar at less? we recently bought all nb - sz0 clothes for bubs at an outlet store for a fraction of the retail price which we were stoked about
i did notice tho that the boys range was piddly compared to the girls.. not alot to choose from really]]> Mon, 11 Aug 2008 13:17:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19975&PID=465001&title=are-pumpkin-patch-feeling-the-recession#465001 <![CDATA[Are Pumpkin Patch feeling the recession? : kabe wrote: They can&#039;t...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19975&PID=464885&title=are-pumpkin-patch-feeling-the-recession#464885 Author: Mum2ET

If there is something I like in the new season then I will pay full price for it otherwise I buy at the end of the season. All Kaitlyn's clothes have been brought either at the Botany outlet or at the end of their winter sales. I have got $150 in vouchers that I am dying to use as soon as the spring/summer stuff come in

I agree Fats, I usually buy stuff for the girls if I see it and it takes my fancy, but this year I just couldn't justify paying $35 for a cardy for Chiara that will only fit her for a few months, or $35 for jeans for the gremlins. I'm sure they weren't that expensive when Maya was smaller, altho I guess then I only had one child to buy for!

And also agree about stuff being the same Potato, Maya has a pink and white striped dress that I bought new season last summer, they brought the same one out later in navy and white and I've recently seen the exact same dress in yellow and gray in their newer range. ]]> Mon, 11 Aug 2008 09:23:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19975&PID=464783&title=are-pumpkin-patch-feeling-the-recession#464783 <![CDATA[Are Pumpkin Patch feeling the recession? : I think that the PP retail shop...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19975&PID=464755&title=are-pumpkin-patch-feeling-the-recession#464755 Author: kabe

I think that the PP retail shop sales are just as good as the outlet shop sales at present, but with the addition of a better range. have stocked up on lots of clothes for next winter.

Does anyone else find a lot of the PP stuff quite samey?? I mean that it everything just looks so similar - or is that just the boys stuff?

Which is another point really... How come there is five times as much range for girls as there is for boys? ]]> Sun, 10 Aug 2008 22:33:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19975&PID=464689&title=are-pumpkin-patch-feeling-the-recession#464689 <![CDATA[Are Pumpkin Patch feeling the recession? : I usually buy the kids 2 full...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19975&PID=464659&title=are-pumpkin-patch-feeling-the-recession#464659 Author: fattartsrock

I usually buy the kids 2 full outfits of new seasons gear and the rest of winter/summer/whatever is made up of outlet and trade me bargains, however, this last season I think I bought Jake 2 jeans and a top and jersey and charlotte a pair of shoes as the prices have all gone up so much, I reckon about $5 to $10 per peice more than usual. Suck. They usually get about $300 or so new full price off me at the start of the season, but not this year, not that I din't have the $, but didn't want to get less for that amount.

Almost all retail stores are feeling the downturn of the economy... At the moment, we are only in a "technical recession", not a full-blown one...

Which is why sooo many shops are having big sales at the moment. Giving big discounts means people are more likely to go and spend money, but also means they are also betting on selling on volume as well, so they can recoup costs.

They usually only have the absolute lowest price as the cost price of the item, so they break even (remember this when working for a garden centre, and when we had the big new years sale, we discounted plants to the cost price).]]> Sun, 10 Aug 2008 15:42:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19975&PID=464321&title=are-pumpkin-patch-feeling-the-recession#464321 <![CDATA[Are Pumpkin Patch feeling the recession? : yeah I was in the outlet shop...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19975&PID=464309&title=are-pumpkin-patch-feeling-the-recession#464309 Author: Mum2ET

yeah I was in the outlet shop in Northcote last weekend and got some pretty good deals- a pair of Jeans for $9.99 and some jogger pants for $6.99. Have also got some good deals in the winter sale atm- got heaps of stuff on sale for summer this year. I made a rule for myself to only buy stuff from PP when it's on sale.... But yes I would imagine that they definitely feeling the recession.

I just went to the outlet store at Westgate and got a pair of jeans for Maya marked down from $44.99 to $20.99, which I thought was pretty cheap. But when I went to pay for them they were actually only $10.99!

They also seem to have waaay more stock in their outlet stores and a lot of fairly new stuff (as in Fall '08) being sold in the outlets. Makes me wonder if they are feeling the recession and having to sell stuff cheaper to cope? Or are their retail prices just getting ridiculously expensive and no one wants to pay that much?]]> Sun, 10 Aug 2008 15:18:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19975&PID=464291&title=are-pumpkin-patch-feeling-the-recession#464291
