My Experience:

As you can see from the picture above, Ross Dress for Less has many clothes!  They have so much beyond clothes too.  Around the perimeter, I found purses, shoes, housewares, electronics...really a little bit of everything!

Because I'm pregnant, I'm not really buying clothes right now.  I was happy to see that Ross carries maternity clothes.  Most were summer, and since I'm due in the winter, I decided to see what I could find for Baby instead.

I ended up getting:
Burp Cloths (3 pk), Compare at $8.00, Ross Price $3.99
Snuggle & Teethe Toy, Compare at $6.00, Ross Price $3.99
Quick Read Ear Thermometer, Compare at $20.00, Ross Price $4.99
Prop & Play Mat Set, Compare at $20.00, Ross Price $12.99
Compare at Total: $54.00, Ross Price Total: $25.96, Total including tax = $27.91
I saved 52% off the Compare at prices!

For price comparison, I decided to look up some of the items I bought on Amazon.  While the play mat was slightly cheaper on Amazon, the teethe toy and thermometer were significantly more expensive on Amazon.  I'd say I definitely got a deal at Ross!
