Top 10 Essentials Under $20 at Old Navy

We are in the middle of our back to school shopping (here in Canada most kids go back in the last days of August or even early September!)  Elijah starts grade 1, every day of the week now as opposed to every second day like Kindergarten, and that means he needs enough clothes to ensure I’m not doing laundry every second day (but who are we kidding here, right?  We know that will happen anyway!)

I was in a mall recently and the banner on the window of Old Navy drew me right in.  Why?  $10 denim for kids, of course!  This is one of the Top 10 Essentials Under $20 at Old Navy right now!  Here is the full list for your shopping planning!


From backpacks ($15) to lunch kits ($5), Old Navy has it in the bag. Find backpacks and messenger styles for girls and boys in plaids, prints and patterns.

A cool kid essential, hip hoodies come in a full of colours for girls at $16.50 and boys starting at $17.50.  (Or, if you live in Saskatchewan like me you could call them a bunny-hug.  Don’t ask, we don’t know either!)

Regularly priced $19.50 to $24.50, shop Old Navy Aug. 6 to 19 for an assortment of $10 denim. Shop styles like girls’ super skinny and and boys’ bootcut, loose and painter fits. Find belted cords for just $10 too.  This is SUCH a great deal for  boys and girls!  We bought 4 pairs of jeans for Elijah and I’m debating going back to stock up on bigger sizes for next year for him.  In fact, I’m pretty sure I will.

Get a gold star for adding a punch of personality with movie and TV show tees. Find Hello Kitty, Barbie, Bart Simpson, Batman, Superman and more at $14.50 each.  We found a great Sponge Bob tee for Elijah!


Priced to work well no matter what the dress code, boys and girls uniform pieces include Bermuda shorts ($14.50), Oxford shirts ($14.50), girls’ skorts and jumpers ($19.50).


Available in pink, black, white, navy, heather grey, whimsical prints, polka dots, lace, buttoned, long and capri lengths, she’s bound to love having a different pair ($8.50 each) for every day of the week.


Keep comfy in stretchy yoga pants ($12.50) in a full range of colours and styles like pink, grey and more. Boys can warm up in lightweight track pants ($19.50) available in various colours like orange, navy and grey.


For boys, the rugby polo is a sporty classic that remains fresh year after year. Available in white and red, green, orange, yellow or blue stripes, just $14.50.


Hi tops are updated for girls ($19.50) in bold blue heart or precious pink peace and love patterns. Boys go skater with brown hi tops with blue and yellow graffiti style graphics, or black with black, white and orange accents, just $19.50 each.


They’ll fall for plaid with cute, short-sleeved button down grey, blue or brown shirts ($14.50) for boys and adorable smocked border minis ($19.50) for girls in blue, brown or turquoise.

This is a great list, but there’s tons more great deals in the store!  We found great lightweight cotton pants for $10 and XTreme Sport 2 in 1 Polos for $10 as well!  I’m eager to go back and see what else I can find for school this fall!

Canadians, while I was checking out the Old Navy site I discovered some great news – Online Shopping is coming this month!  I’m so excited for that (the closest Old Navy is over an hour away)!

Have fun shopping, mamas!  I plan on getting there this week again to grab the rest of the deals I missed the first time…and perhaps more jeans!  Since girl’s jeans are on sale too it occured to me I could get some bigger sizes for Nevaeh as well, hmmmm!
