Posted on August 11, 2010 | Leave a comment

Good News!! The Summer Sale is Extended 1 More Day AND
EVERYTHING is Marked Down to $10 at the Last Chance
Sharon Young Ladies Designer Clothes Warehouse Sale!        

     
I’ve heard from several happy readers who shared that they made
some fabulous buys and had a blast at the Sharon Young Warehouse
Summer Clothes Sale last weekend.   Thanks everyone for
sharing your stories!       

In case you weren’t able to make it (or even if you did), I have some
good news to share ~ the Sharon Young Team has decided to extend
their sale one last day AND has marked everything down to $10!!!           

Why so cheap & why the extra day?
The warehouse desperately needs to make space for all the fall
merchandise that is arriving for their retailers.  After last weekend’s
huge sale, they still have 8,000+ summer pieces left in stock that are
taking up a lot of space.  Unfortunate, but good for the frugal
shopper ~ the savings can’t get much cheaper than this!       

The clothes are beautiful and at $10, it is well worth
the drive to Dallas!        

       

Sharon Young Warehouse Last Chance Sale Highlights:       

  • Every piece will be sold for $10!!!  Did I mention that? :)
  • The clothes are gorgeous top designer quality ~ collections
    you’ll normally find only at higher end ladies boutiques.
  •  The $10 sale includes jackets that normally retail for $200
    (and sold for $50 in last weekend’s sale!).     You’ll also find pants,
    skirts, blouses, & sweaters, and more ~ all for $10!  
  • There are 8,000+ top quality pieces in the sale from high end
    boutique designers ~ Sharon Young, City Girl, Multiples, A La
    Carte, and more.  
  • Sizes, styles and collections span a huge variety. Ladies Sizes
    2-18, Petites 4-14 and Plus Sizes 14W-22W.
  • Read more about  last week’s sale here, as well as see a
    quick video     to get a glimpse of some of the merchandise
    you will find.     

Details, details
What: The Sharon Young Last Chance Warehouse Sale will feature

Do note: This is a manufacturer’s warehouse sale and not a regular 
    retail operation.  There is a large dressing room available to try
    things on if you wish. This is a women only event ~ so husbands,

The Airfare Wars Are On! American Airlines Offers $25 One-Way to Lots of Destinations, ENDS TODAY!

Posted on October 29, 2009 | Leave a comment

                                   

Yesterday, we reported Southwest Airlines’ Low Fare Sale (read the post here).  Not to be outdone, American Airlines joined the low-fare boxing match with their deals…some as low as $25 One-way!  Note that these offers end at midnight TODAY (10/29) and are for travel Dec. 2 – Dec. 16, 2009 and Jan. 5 – Feb. 10, 2010.

After comparing each airlines’ fares for a few cities, we’ve made the following pros/cons general observations: 

  • Southwest Airlines: provides the better overall deals on their sale.  Make sure you are OK with their general admission approach to no-assigned seating, though (sometimes difficult if you are traveling with children). 
  • American Airlines: values aren’t quite as good as SWA, but they do provide more discounted options by providing a wider variety of destinations and departure/return times in their sale (and you do get an assigned seat when you buy your ticket).

Tickets need to be purchased TODAY, October 29, 2009, 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time to take advantage of the special pricing.

Click here to get the scoop for American Airlines Winter sale, and here for details on Southwest Airlines’ sale.

Enjoy! :)

The Greatest Hamburger Joints in Fort Worth (according to Texas Monthly)

Posted on October 5, 2009 | 4 comments

  Hamburger

Fun (& Greasy) Texas Fact of the Week: I recently discovered that the hamburger was invented in Texas (why don’t they teach these important details in Texas History?!?).  I must admit that I’m just not that surprised, as all culinary roads do, indeed, lead to Texas.  Yes. Yes they do. 

This brings me to my 2nd related discovery…

Texas Monthly recently ran a self-described “gastro-scientific inquiry into the finest burgers” and ranked the top 50 hamburger joints in Texas.  I was happy to see that 5 Fort Worth area burger spots landed on the list!  <<For full-disclosure to my fellow Fort Worthians, I was startled to learn that Kincaid’s didn’t rank in the top 50.  Outrage and heresy! ;) >> Read the full article here. 

Texas Monthly’s 2-thumbs-up results for the Fort Worth Area:

  • Dutch’s  – “The nicely seasoned half pound of meat is smothered with a pile of blue cheese and a tangle of bacon. A goodly spread of chi­potle mayo bridges the flavors, and fresh toppings seal the deal. The fries are fresh-cut and sprinkled with sea salt, and that just never, ever gets old.”  3009 S. University Dr
  • Twisted Root Burger Co –  “The beef patties—or buffalo, elk, and other game in season—are thick, the sweet-potato chips are fresh, and the spicy pickles are homemade, along with the root beer, ice cream, and chi­potle ketchup.”  Roanoke, 101 South Oak Street  (also in Dallas: Deep Ellum and Richardson)
  • Love Shack–  “Only in Texas would anyone grind together tenderloin and brisket, but the blend yields such an excellent ratio of fat to lean that it will gladden your taste buds. The whole barnyard participates in this mouth-pleaser: It not only comes with crispy applewood-smoked bacon but also a fried quail egg clinging to the patty. The tangy, house-made Love Sauce fuses the whole thing into a glorious mess you won’t soon forget.” FW Stockyards, 110 E. Exchange Ave, 2nd Location just opened at 817 Matisse)
  • Snuffer’s–  “The laid-back Greenville Avenue  restaurant original opened in 1978; since then more locations have sprouted… But what remains the same is the quality of that big, mouth-watering burger, particularly the cheesy-tangy Green Chile Swiss burger piled high with crisp shredded lettuce and fat tomato slices. And while it’s tough to beat the great fries, you’d be crazy not to order the cheddar fries at a place that’s bold enough to claim it invented them.”  Southlake Center, next to the Harkins Movie Theatre ( plus 7 other locations in DFW).
  • Fred’s Texas Café – “The Diablo Burger is Half a pound of ground beef, grilled and topped with taste bud–searing chipotles, heaped with Swiss cheese, and crowned with onion, pickles, tomato, lettuce, and mustard. The spicy elements play off perfectly against the cool and leafy ones; melted cheese provides the glue that holds it all together. Note: Don’t even think about wedging yourself into this popular, boisterous cafe and bar at rush hour.” 915 Currie Rd

 If you are in the Dallas area, try these ranked spots:

  • The Grape – The Classic Cheeseburger
  • The Porch – The Stodg
  • Cliff Cafe – Brie And Granny Smith Burger (I may just have to trek to Dallas to try this swanky burger.  Brie makes everything better!)
  • Jakes – #1 Jakes Special
  • Twisted Root (listed above)
  • Snuffer’s (listed above)

The Frugal Hamburger:
Enjoy this perfect Outdoor weather with DIY Grilling

Most of these hamburger spots are not exactly what I would qualify as “frugal” venues.  To take a more cost-concious route, use these top ranked burgers to inspire your own grilled masterpiece at home and then use these directions for grilling the perfect hamburger (click here).   These no-detail-left-uncovered instructions for the hamburger pièce de résistance come from the cookbook, Mastering the Grill: The Owner’s Manual for Outdoor Cooking.

Have another favorite hamburger spot in Fort Worth?  Do tell us about it in the comments section.  We would love to know!

Bon Appetite, Y’all!

This year’s line up of events is as extensive as ever.  Free Concerts (with admission) include: Jason Castro, 38 Special, En Vogue, and 80’s favorite, the Commodores.  Even Oprah is going to be at the fair this year (do you think she is going to give away cars to everyone?).  There is so much to see and do.  Check out the line up of concerts here and the full schedule of events here. 

The Grease-O-Meter is Off the Charts this Year!
This year’s fried food extravaganza includes everything from Fried Butter (unbelievable, but true…that is not a typo) to the must-have-if-you-go-to-the-fair, famous Fletcher’s Corny Dog.  For a full review on the 2009 fair’s foodfest, read Gourmet Girl’s take, Deep-Fried Butter. Need I Say More?
