50% OFF Fort Worth Groupon Favorites: Salsa Fuego, Let’s Jump & Amon Carter Museum

Posted on July 27, 2012 | Leave a comment

Bookmark and Share

There are a bunch of great deals posted at Groupon Fort Worth today ~ we’ve highlighted a few of our favorites below (especially happy to see the Salsa Fuego 50% OFF rare deal). Enjoy! :)

Buying Tip: These deals will only be available to buy over the next few days (though the expiration date to use them is much longer).  Groupon deals are also often in limited in supply, so don’t wait, as they may sell out.

:: $10 for $20 worth of Tex-Mex dinner at Salsa Fuego  (Regular $20 value) in Fort Worth.

We really like this deal because: 50% at Salsa Fuego is just too good to pass up.  It’s one of Texas Monthly’s highest rated Mexican restaurants  and everything is still made by hand.

To find the offer: Go to Fort Worth Groupon’s “All Deals” menu on the left hand side of the webpage, and navigate to the deal.

::

:: $19 for 10 Visits at Let’s Jump – Keller (Fort Worth) (Regular, $50 Value) in Keller.

We really like this deal because: at a $1.90 per visit,  it is a cheap way  to get the kids out of the house and active while having fun in the air conditioning.

To find the offer: Go to Fort Worth Groupon’s “All Deals” menu on the left hand side of the webpage, and navigate to the deal.

::

:: $49 for Friend Membership for Up to Four People to Amon Carter Museum of American Art   (Regular, $100 Value) in Fort Worth (Cultural District).

We really like this deal because: among other benefits, it gets you and 3 others access to some fabulous Amon Carter members-only events and also provides FREE admission to over 500 museums around the country (including 16 in Texas) through their reciprocal membership program.

To find the offer: Go to Fort Worth Groupon’s “All Deals” menu on the left hand side of the webpage, and navigate to the deal.

Sharon Young & Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse Clothing Sale ~ Starts Thursday, August 2

Posted on July 24, 2012 | Leave a comment

Bookmark and Share 

Woo-hoo! Our favorite warehouse clothing sale, The Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse Sale, starts the next week ~ Thursday, August 2 and runs through Saturday, August 4. This direct from the manufacturer warehouse clothing sale happens only 4 times a year, and everything is marked down 50% to 75% OFF retail. They have sizes to fit just about anyone (from Petite to Women’s sizes and everything in between)!

I popped over to Dallas to preview the sale a few days ago and had to practically camp out to see it all! :) The warehouse sale floor is huge and packed full of rows and rows of beautiful summer and transition-to-fall fashion bargains.  I was drawn to the bright, fun colors in the collection, and the enormous selection of Sharon Young and Tru Luxe Jeans at 50% off retail made it hard to choose!

The August 2-4 sale will feature thousands of discounted items from Sharon Young, Multiples, City Girl, Tru Luxe, and more  designer brands at big discounts. Prices start at $20 and the most expensive items (dresses and jackets) are $60.

   

In a nutshell, here’s what you will find at the August sale:

  • Over 18,000 gorgeous ladies clothing pieces, 50 to 75% OFF retail.  There is a huge selection that covers a wide variety of styles from trendy to traditional and from casual to dressy.  These are gorgeous top designer quality collections carried in high-end department stores and fashion boutiques ~ you’ll find them at this designer warehouse sale at deeply slashed prices.
  • Ladies, Petite and Plus Sizes ~ something for everyone! Sizes range from Ladies & Petites 2-18 to Women’s Plus 14W-24W.
  • Half price designer fashions from: Sharon Young, City Girl, Multiples, A La Carte, Vicente, Tru Luxe and more. You will find rack after rack of beautiful clothes and everything to complete an outfit including tops, skirts, pants, and jackets.

   

Details, details
When: August 2-4, 2012 ~ Thursday & Friday, 8:00AM to 8:00PM
and Saturday, 8:00AM to 5:00PM
Where: 10367 Brockwood Rd ~ Dallas.  You’ll see signs directing you where to go (or just follow all the ladies you will see!).
Do note: There is a large dressing room provided for trying on all your finds, but typical of women’s fashion warehouse sales, it is ladies only and not private. Since this is a women only event, husbands, guy-friends and kiddos under 12, please stay comfortable at home. 

Enjoy and Share! :)
