I guess it's not TOO bad if you're only having to buy for one kid.
But when it's $25-30 per stuffed animal (not including clothes) and you have three kids it adds up. We usually only go when there is some sort of sale.
Alex got hers for her birthday. Olivia got hers using her tooth fairy money. And Eoin got one because hes never gotten one and he finally wanted one (last time we went he was too young to care)
True, the cost would be reasonable if it's only going to be the one animal for the kid (or adult... if such is the occasion, lol). But if you are buying multiple animals, it definitely would be expensive at regular price.
