SNEAK PREVIEW VIDEO: Sharon Young & Ladies Designer Brand Spring Warehouse Sale ~ May 5-7!

Bookmark and Share

     


Good news! The Spring Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse Sale starts this Thursday!  
A few weeks ago, I mentioned the upcoming Sharon Young Spring Designer Clothes Sale that starts Thursday and runs May 5th-7th. I had the opportunity to make a preview visit and tour the sale and can tell you that once again, it is well worth the drive to Dallas (And yes, my spring shopping is done ~ Many great bargains made their way home with me!!!).

While on my tour, I shot some video so you could see a taste of the beautiful spring styles and amazing selection offered. The video is just a few minutes long and hopefully gives you a good idea of the goodies in store at the sale including some new lines we just love like Ruby Cho. We also love all the reversible jackets, tops, and more which are like getting 2 outfits for the price of one (and perfect for travel!!). 

Note, if the video doesn’t show up below, click here.

The Sharon Young designer manufacturer’s warehouse sale
offers a HUGE selection of beautiful ladies’ clothes!
The clothes are gorgeous top designer quality, and the sizes, styles and collections span a huge variety. There are LOTS of bargains to choose from with over 15,000 pieces, 50 to 75% OFF (ranging in price from $20 to $60) ~ collections you’ll only find at higher end ladies boutiques and department stores!

  • Faux Leather Jackets ~ $60
  • Other Jacket Styles ~ $50
  • Pants, Skirts, Blouses, & Sweaters ~ $30
  • Sleeveless Tops ~ $20

Take a peek at the company websites to get a glimpse of some of
the merchandise you will find:

GREAT Groupon Deal for 50% OFF Coldwater Creek ~ Just in Time for Mother’s Day & Valid Until July 21st!

Bookmark and Share

Incredible 50% OFF Coldwater Creek Groupon Today!

Groupon has launched a national savings offer of 50% OFF Women’s Apparel and Accessories at Coldwater Creek. When you buy today’s Groupon for $25, you will get a $50 Coldwater Creek gift certificate valid in-store or online and usable on just about anything.

Use the certificate anytime through July 21st, 2011.

There is a limited quantity of these gift certificates available, so you might not want to wait if you plan to take advantage of this.

How to get the Offer:

  1. Go here to sign up for today’s Coldwater Creek deal.
  2. Select Fort Worth as Your Groupon City.
    You can use this Groupon at any U.S. Coldwater Creek location
    (as well as online).
  3. Buy your Groupon before end of day, Saturday.
    You do have until July 21st to use your Groupon, but since
    there is a limited quantity of these certificates available, I would
    recommend not waiting too long to make your purchase.

 

New to Groupon? You are in for a treat!

A few months ago, Groupon launched its Fort Worth site (AND we
did the happy dance at Frugal in Fort Worth!). If you are not familiar with
Groupon, definitely take a moment to check them out.

Groupon offers a daily deal on local goods, services and cultural events
across the country. I’ve seen their local offers include everything from
50% Off Cowboys Stadium Tour, 50% Off Nordstrom Rack to 75% Off
window cleaning ~ and seemingly everything in between! I’ve even bought
Groupon deals in other cities as a way to save on restaurant dining and
entertainment when we travel.

Here’s how it works:

1. Each day Groupon features a great deal at an unbeatable price.

2. You have to sign up for the offer that day, and only get the deal
if the minimum number of people join that day (so pass this along
to your friends)!

3. Check back the next day to discover the next Groupon offer (or sign up for their emails to have them delivered to your inbox)!

Taking advantage of this deal supports Frugal in Fort Worth.

Enjoy and Share! :)

Carrabbas is my favorite place in DFW to order Chicken Marsala (it is the best Chicken Marsala I have had outside of a little hole in the wall spot outside Chicago).  It is often hard to find coupons to Carrabba’s, so I was glad to discover their new & FREE mobile phone coupon program, Carrabba’s mobile Amici club.  

If you join Carrabba’s FREE Mobile Amici Club, they’ll send you a mobile coupon for a FREE appetizer, and you’ll be signed up to received future offers and coupons through your phone as well.

Details, details
How: To get your free Carrabbas appetizer, text Amici123

    required.
