So here is how Dillard's does it...

I have some great news for everyone!!!  I have tips for you from a very nice and very chatty sales clerk at Dillard's who loved sharing with me all the scope on markdowns.  This could be be very valuable information so you might want to write this down...here we go...the first Monday and Tuesday of every month they do markdowns down to the next percentage off. (30-50% will now go down to 70%).  This one is really good...the last Wednesday-Saturday from January-September additional markdowns are taken on sale items (70% can get another 30-40% off).  This is one for your calendars...every New Years Day they have 50% off of everything...what a way to start off the new year.  They had just marked down this afternoon (to 70%) Jones New York t-shirts from $19.99 to $5.99 so of course I had to have one...3 racks full of them and lots of colors...hey treat yourself to one...I'm sure you deserve it!!!

Weekend starting off quite nicely...

To say the least...the weekend is staring out quite nicely.  Like I said the hubby is the real shopper (and in a future blog I will share with you why) and after dinner he said let's go to the mall, but I voted for going to Kohl's.  So the big news is that he found the Converse tennis shoes he has been drooling over for $31.49 which is the cheapest he has seen then anywhere, I'm talking DSW, internet or mall shopping.  Yes, these are the shoes that he wore as a teen.  So of course I'm scouring the 80% off racks and stumble upon a great little black sweater...regularly priced at $50 but marked down to $10.  Yes it has found a home with me.  In conclusion...we saw, we bought ,we conquered

I would like to share with everyone just how well I have done in the past two months regarding this shopping frenzy.  I found three racks at JC Penney that were full of items all for $2.97 each.  Thirteen items later I walked out of the store smiling because I had just saved a whopping $471...you can't beat that.  If this rack pops up again you can be sure I will alert everyone.  My hubby and I walked into Old Navy one day and they were having a sale...50% of all clearance items.  You can't complain when you are getting cute cargo pants for $5!!!   And my hubby found a distressed jean jacket on the sale rack in his size with a million mark downs, so he decided to buy it for $5.  If any one has any great shopping deals they would like to share, just put it in the comment space and you can bet it will end up in my blog...happy shopping and saving!!!

Ready...Set...Go!!!

Well, I finally decided to do it…it has been a joint venture between my daughter and I and now it is reality.  I have become an excellent bargain shopper in the last year and a half.  Either I have been there at the right time and place or I have the patience to scan the clearance rack, but when I can find a pair of Capri’s at Old Navy in my size for .97 cents, to me that is quite a high.  Join me as we take this shopping journey together.  I will be sharing my bargains and deals with you, what stores I‘ve been to and any advice or information that I get from the sales people…they could turn out to be very valuable to this gal. Did you know that Old Navy does all mark downs on Sunday mornings?  My husband is also a shopper and he will be feeding into this blog also with his great deals.  How lucky am I to have a hubby who likes to shop!  My motto is…it’s out there you just have to find it!!!  Ready…Set…Go...!!!
