I've been out shopping a little bit this month trying to spend some of the money I received for Christmas as gifts. I've been to outlet malls and regular malls and couldn't believe all of the sales. I am talking about deep discounts, clearance, 75% sales. These sales normally happen towards the end of January not the beginning of the month.
I hit the outlet mall a few days after New Year's and in every store I walked into, there was an additional percentage off clearance items. It was unbelievable.
Then a week or so ago, I received an email from Banana Republic that they were going to have a three hour mid-day sale. All of their clearance items were going to be an additional 50% off from 11am-2pm on one day. I was going to the mall anyway to do some gift returns and thought I would stop by. Well, you would of thought that they were giving away gold. I could not believe the number of people there. I got a pair of camel wool pants (lined), a pair of black suede laced ankle shoe/boots with a wood heel, and a camel draped cardigan sweater (with a great rolled collar) all for $100. Not bad!!!
That same day I had to hit Target to stock up on necessities and found a great pair of boots. They are mid-calf biker style boots with buckles that are so comfortable and were only $10. What a great way to try a different style or trend!
Now, I still have Christmas money left that's burning a whole in my pocket. I think I will hit some local stores and see what they have. Oh, and I still have my TJ Maxx gift card!!! Look out stores 'cause here I come!!
Enjoy your day!!!
