The cost of kids pyjamas!

[Enchantedlilypad]

I was In M&S today and picked up 3 pairs of new pyjamas for my 4 year old DD and they cost £44!!

Yes I know I could have gone to a different shop and I do usually buy most of her clothing off of Vinted or Asda etc but I happened to be in M&S and I liked them.

How can 3 pairs of 4 year olds pyjamas from a supermarket shop cost £44, everything is so expensive.

I used to be a sucker for thd kids pj's from John Lewis ( before COLC) but I never, ever bought them full price. They are pretty much guaranteed to still be available in the sales, at half price. Pjs are definitely a sale item in our house. Buying full price is crazy.

We make do with hand me downs and sainsburys now.

How long do you need children s pyjamas to last.
They will have grown out of them before they wear out.
They are not doing manual labour in them.
You can get nice ones in Poundland for £7.

I'd have been investigating Primark and supermarkets for what I assume are cotton PJs - I know I can buy cheaper than that for myself there.

3 seperate packs for £44 is not that bad.
£15 a pack. Quite reasonable.
Well made and hopefully not from exploitative labour too.

We love M&S pyjamas as they last at least two children in this house and are repeatedly washed. I’m happy to pay for them

M&S and Asda are really great quality I always buy in the saw a few sizes bigger as I wouldn't pay full
Price . Or my dad sometimes buys as part of a birthday/ Xmas gift if he asks what the kids need

Try Primark not M&S.
£44 for 3 isn't thst bad I think in a shop like M&S. Could be worse.

I think £44/for three sets is OK.

I buy M&S 'baled pyjamas' for myself and they are £12 and always cheaper in the run up to Christmas.

My DDs are adults now but I was shocked at the price of kids PJs 20 years ago. Where we lived then there was a Debenhams and I picked up a few packs, had twins, and quickly decided to go to Sainsbury’s instead.

Look online and see which shop, either on your area or order online, has the best options.

That is a lot for kids pj's. Strangely the adults basic PJs in M&S are cheaper than Sainsburys. I was looking last week and they're £18 a pair from.TU compared to £12 in M&S.

Choosing to buy more expensive items when much cheaper ones are available, but you happened to prefer the expensive ones, isn't a COL issue. If you can afford the M and S ones then buy them and sell on when they're too small. If you cannot afford them then buy something cheaper elsewhere.

We often get Christmas pj's from M&S they do kids 2 for £15. I this week spent £56 on pyjamas for dd's- asda. This was for six pairs and a pair of slippers. They are also in the biggest sizes as 11&13. Seems a lot in one go but actually very reasonable.

There is 2 for £16 for quite a few of the kids pyjamas at M&S- if you’ve bought one of the selected items I’d do a refund and re-buy.

Some of the pricier ones are fleece. I always get mine some of the fleecy ones for winter as they are really toasty and warm. Cotton will be cheaper.
