Discount Finds
I think you know by now that I love to find a great deal…so when I went out to get a “quick” fix and ended up with a total shopping score – you know I had to share.
Thursday night, I went to TJMaxx to see what was new and what I ‘needed’ (we all know I need nothing)so I was quite proud of myself when I walked out of the store with NOTHING. But at the same time, I realized….well that was no fun, I didn’t get anything!
(side note: we all do recognize this as a sign of a shop-o-holic…this is part of my therapy step 1: Admit you have a problem!)…I digress…
I thought what the heck, I’ll go next door to Marshalls, generally I don’t go to Marshalls, but since I wasn’t looking for anything and I had all this time to kill, I said what the hell.
What the Hell is right! I SCORED!! I mean, I found items that I was totally thrilled about – they aren’t any designer label things; rather they were some good basics that were on clearance and they all fit. My finds: 2 dresses, corduroy pants, animal print heels, pencil skirt, and a wool military jacket; grand total $110 plus tax. Yes, that’s right!
So you can see why I was on a shopping high, but it doesn’t stop there…while in Norman I went to Ross (Ross Dress for Less) another great shopping experience…I found a couple of dresses for a total of $25 (not each, in total!)
By now you’re asking yourself, how in the heck are you finding these things and how can I get a great deal…I love to take the time to look and when I say look, I do just that – rack by rack – item by item, I look at things – in my size, outside my size (as we all know, in these places ppl don’t put things back where they find them.) You also need to know what days they replenish their inventory, I believe TJMaxx is on Tuesdays & Thursdays. Go during the week or early on the weekends, when ppl aren’t in your way or annoying you while you shop. But the most important tip I can give you is to not be looking for something specific!! This is SO KEY, if you go in w/ expectations of find that specific thing likely you won’t find it. I go in with an open mind and just see what happens…think about what fits you, what you can wear now and into alternative seasons.
It doesn’t happen at every shopping outing, but when it happens to you, you cannot help but believe you are a savvy fashionista – Happy Shopping ladies!
