Baby Boy Sale Clothes

Options
I know this may seem a strange one... I have a 7 month old baby boy.

Whenever there are sales on I go in to get some clothes for LO and there seems to be hardly any baby boy clothes in the sales, but loads of baby girl clothes!

I went to Asda lunchtime, rails and rails of sale girls stuff (some £1 rails) and one tiny boys one! In the baby section there were loads of baby grils stuff and few bits for boys!

Has it always been like this or am i part of a major baby boy boom at the mo????

    No. It's just Sod's Law in operation. The one where the perfect dress is available half price in a size 8 when you're a 14 or your dream holiday is heavily discounted, but the departure date is 2 days before youre due to be bridesmaid at your best friends wedding :D.

    Our Asda had loads of little boys clothes in the sale, and just a few unappealing bits and bobs for girls (I have 2 baby granddaughters:))

    I honestly don't think that shops stock as many boys clothes, you see rails of girls clothes and about half the amount of boys clothes.
    Why pay full price when you may get it YS ;)

    as Alikay says, just sods law - I've a 6 month daughter, and all the sales are full of little boys stuff, and random bits of rubbish girls stuff, up here.

    In my experience: there were always less baby boy clothes than girl clothes, there were always less boy toddler clothes than girl toddler clothes, there are less boy clothes than girl clothes and there seems to be less adult male clothes than adult female clothes. In short the males get less choice, though in all honesty, as they get older they tend to shop less!
