Looking for tips on how to save on American Girl dolls?
Accessories
Target and Walmart both have a line of 18 inch dolls and their clothes and accessories fit the American Girl dolls and the prices are so much cheaper!
Go here to check out Target’s Our Generation line.
Go here to check out Walmart’s My Life line.
We got the My Life As a Wheel Chair Set at Walmart for $19.97 and the American Girl version is $35 and it does not come with the crutches!
Clothing
We also love the Dollie and Me clothing sets. They are about $20 and you get both an outfit for your daughter AND a matching outfit for her doll. They have awesome sales on Dollie and Me on Zulily. Keep in mind that their sales change daily, but I have found that a Dollie and Me sale comes around at least once a month. I think their clothes are very well made and so cute!
Go here to sign up for Zulily
You can also find handmade items for the dolls on Etsy, Ebay, local craft shows, etc. If you like to sew, you can also buy patterns for doll clothes that will fit the American Girl dolls. My mother in law made the outfit that is on the American Girl in the picture above.
If it says it is for an 18 inch doll, then it will work on American Girl.
American Girl Purchases
The only way to save on the dolls on AmericanGirl.com is to purchase them when they have FREE shipping offers. To sign up for email alerts for sales, be sure to enter your email here.
When American Girl releases new movies, there is usually a coupon inside the movie. I have found a $10/$100 purchase in both Saige and Isabelle’s movies. The coupon is usually good for 2 months after the movie was released. The coupon inside the Isabelle’s movie expires 9/30/14.
I have also found coupons for the American Girl store when I stopped at the Welcome Center at the Georgia state line. I did have to ask the woman behind the counter if they had anything for the American Girl store.
I hope this helps you to save money on American Girl!

You can purchase a pack of four $25 American Girl Place gift cards at Costco for $80
That is a $20 savings and can use in combination with coupons and free shipping
