<p>I changed my mind about a purchase I made the other day at American Eagle. I returned the pants. After returning them, I walked across the lot and went into GAP. I ended up using the money on the returned pair of pants (American Eagle) and used it to buy TWO higher quality pairs of pants at the GAP. I bought a pair of Men’s Jeans (originally priced at around $55) for $22.49 and a pair of Men’s Cord Jeans (originally priced at $49.00) for
$19.74. GAP had a bunch of stuff on sale plus an additional 25% off the sale price.</p>
<p>I have been waiting eagerly for the Talbots to have their online sale. I have narrow feet so I buy almost all of my shoes from them. The ones I had my eye on for awhile are now $79, so I ordered. Not cheap, but better than the $119 original price.</p>
<p>Lands End at the brick and mortar Sears: Bought 3 fleece tops (originally 32.50 each, just $12 each this morning).</p>
<p>Old Navy- Men’s boxer shorts- originally 8.50 each, now all were 3 for 10.00, and there were some on clearance for 2.99 today. I have not seen them on sale for less than $6 in quite some time.</p>
<p>Similar American Eagle story. Bought a Navy wool Pea coat there…originally $99.99 on sale for $79.99 the day after Thanksgiving. BUT then I got the 30% off coupon for Kohls (woohoo). They had a black Ralph Lauren pea coat…original price $200, marked down to $100…with 30% off…$70. Guess where that American Eagle coat went? Back to AE.</p>
<p>I took the camcorder I bought at Costco back, because the same one at B&H was a bit cheaper (and no tax or shipping!). I estimate that I probably saved close to $100. But then I went back in the store to pick up some bread and ended up blowing $$ on Juicy velour sweats for DDs. There is a reason Costco makes you go through the isles of electronics and clothes to get to the food!</p>
<p>I will tell you my “good buy of the day” boot story when (if) I get the boots from H for Christmas :)</p>
<p>I’m saving tons of money because DD’s Vista killed our wireless. I did not buy a thing during Saks 2 day sale. Please pardon my spelling and grammar since I’m still getting used to typing on my iPhone. No online shopping until we fix the &@$& thing.</p>
<p>Looking for a “good buy” on a quality winter short downish type jacket for me…something LLBean might have…didn’t find much “sale” on their website yet…if anyone can recommend another website for good winter outerwear I would appreciate it!</p>
<p>(the stuff at the department stores around here is kind of “yuck”!)</p>
<p>Abasket, check REI - they occasionally have good stuff on sale. I’d love to check for you, but H is still messing with our wireless. Dd plugged her laptop directly into the modem, and I’m learning typing on my phone. It is not going fast as you can see :)</p>
<p>Last year I thought I remembered buying some Hickory Farms stuff at a really good discount. This year there’s only this [Sausage</a> & Cheese Gifts | Hickory Farms](<a href=“Food Gift Baskets | Gift Basket Delivery | Hickory Farms”>Food Gift Baskets | Gift Basket Delivery | Hickory Farms) Adding in the cost of shipping and it would better just to go to the store. My oldest loves that kind of stuff - any deals out there someplace else? Or maybe it’s too early (too late??) for the good deals?</p>
<p>Abasket–definately check out REI.com they are having a sale. If you have a store near you, you can order online and ship to the store for free. </p>
<p>I’ve purchased Hickory Farms products at Target, clearance priced, but I suspect it’s hit and miss.</p>
<p>I picked up some silver and white gift wrap and silver ribbon for half off today–we have a couple of weddings coming up.</p>
<p>REI has an online outlet store (reioutlet.com) with some nice deals if they have what you want. Also, at Marshall’s today, all their winter coats were marked down.</p>
<p>I did peek at the reioutlet - will keep in mind, though didn’t see a style I was looking for right now.</p>
<p>I caved yesterday and ordered a down coat from LLBean - not a horrible price if it turns out to be the length and bulk I’m looking for - we shall see when it arrives!!!</p>
