So I went out yesterday and bought him two thermal henleys for the travel days, and two sweaters for our full days there. Given that it is, you know, mid-January with colder temperatures on the way, of course all they have out now are shorts and tank tops! ::rolls eyes:: However, what little winter stuff they had was on clearance. As in super-duper clearance. How about $90 worth of clothing for $16! Now to me, that's not actually quite right, since I never would have paid the full retail price for those items in the fist place. $27 for a sweater for a child seems rather silly to me, since it isn't something that he will wear very much. However, I was fully expecting to pay $15 each for the sweaters and $8-10 for the shirts. Coming home having spent $50 would not have surprised me. I was thrilled with the clearance prices as they were marked (less than $10 for each piece). Then when I got to the register, the sweaters rang up at $3.50 each and the shirts for $4.20 each; I was shocked! I thought surely she had left off an item (or two or three). Apparently, there was a promotion for an extra 60% discount off the clearance prices! Woo-hoo! That means I get a +$34 in the checkbook, right?
Currently feeling:

And people like you are why I can purchase $128 wool sweaters for $20...because I *do* still get cold and have to wear layers and layers!!! Congrats on the bargains! I hope the retail industry never catches on that I'm not in the mood to buy short sleeves when it's 35 degress out!
ReplyDeleteI love those bargains the best - the ones where you are already happy with the price, and then Surprise!, more comes off at the checkout. Fabulous! Hope you have a great weekend :)
