OK...I didn't know Dillards owned Payless!!! But I must say...I buy most of my families clothes at Dillards with one catch. I buy them off season!!! In February and September, they clearance all of the previous seasons fashions. They are 75%off. And sometimes you can get even more off. I just bought 5 pair of Hilfiger jeans and 3 Hilfiger shirts for $58. No Lie...The jeans were $54 that they marked down to 34.99 with 75% off. Then they took an additional 20% off that. So I just bought my jeans for the winter. And don't get me started on the kids clothes. Polo Jeans for $8. Bought my son 10 pair of them!

And don't even get me started on the shoes (especially for kids). I normally buy their shoes 5 pairs in advance, so I have a 2, 2 1/2, 3, 3 1/2, 4...So when they grow out of a pair, another is waiting in the wings!

Once you start buying your clothes like that...You will NEVER go back to paying full price!!
