Need to update or add a few new pieces to your wardrobe? 
Be sure to mark the next Sharon Young and Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse sale (April 26-28) on your calendar. The sale will feature 1000s of items from their spring clothing collection at big discounts. This is their biggest sale of the year and it’s definitely worth the drive to Dallas!

Personally, I am a big fan of this sale.  I have saved a bundle off retail prices (50 to 75% OFF) and brought home some gorgeous outfits at below wholesale ~ much of my wardrobe has come from this sale’s clothes racks. Prices start at $20 and the most expensive items (dresses and jackets) are $60!

   

We will be popping over to Dallas to capture some sneak preview pictures of the goodies, so stay tuned for a future post and more info in the coming days. Until then, you can take a peek at the company websites to get a glimpse of some of the clothing brands you will find:

   

Details, details
When: April 26-28, 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! :)

Savings Guide: Get a Head Start on Black Friday Deals!

Posted on November 19, 2009 | Leave a comment

     

Black Friday, the official kickoff to the holiday shopping season, is a week from tomorrow.  Apparently no one has informed the nation’s top retailers that THIS is the day that Christmas shopping begins <grin>, as they have been in full swing with their pre-Christmas sales for a while.  Stores eager for a bit of our wallets are offering big sales and sneak peeks at their ad deals long before the doors open on Friday. 

After perusing many of the sneak-peek sale ads, I have a few tips to help you get the best deals on your shopping list:

#1  Know what you are going to buy and make your list before you go shopping.  It’s easy to get pulled into the excitement of shopping’s “superbowl” day, but if you have a list, it will help you stay on budget and not overspend.

#2 Study the sale ads before you go.  After looking at several Black Friday sites, I recommend using the following sites for sale ad research:

  • Black-friday.net ~ This site has a LONG list of sneak peek ads for Black Friday which are very organized and easy to navigate (point. click. & voila! You can see next Friday’s ads for lots of stores).  They also have an easy search feature, where you can type in a specific item and compare ad prices.  I typed in “ipod” in the search field and every retailer that featured an Apple IPod in their sale ads popped up in a tidy list, making it easy to compare retailers’ offers.  I like their “Shopping List” feature too.  It allows you to make a handy-dandy list of the items you are interested in, by retailer.
  • TheBlackFriday.blogspot.com ~  If you just want to peruse the ads each day that the “sneak peeks” are released, this is a good spot.  It has some of the best quality ad scans and the simplicity of this site makes it easy to see the latest ads at a quick glance. 

 #3 Compare the sale ad prices to online sites before you go.   It is a good idea to compare the total cost product + tax (8.25% in Fort Worth) of purchasing at your local store vs. buying the same item from an online retailer (product + shipping).  At an almost 10% increase to the bottom line, tax can add up quick.  Many online stores (like Amazon.com or Buy.com) offer free shipping on some purchases AND are tax-free (plus most of their prices are nicely discounted every day).  

Take a look at our recent example of Amazon vs. Walmart on a Wii system ~ the savings can be significant!

 #4 Use an online price comparison tool.  Ditto #3 above, regarding comparing total cost of purchase (add local tax or online shipping).  Some of the most useful sites for comparing online prices include:

  • Beatmyprice.com ~ This is one of my favorite  sites for finding the best comparisons across many retailers.  Rather than using computers to scan the internet to search the best deal, this site is a “people powered” price comparison tool.
  • Epinions.com ~ Epinions is a great site for getting online reviews on products you might be considering.  It also has a handy price comparison section as well.
  • Google.com/products ~  This is a new section of Google that is in beta testing.  Out of the gates, I find it is a really good price evaluation tool.  Their slogan is “Search for Stuff to Buy.”  Need more be said?

 #5 Have fun and enjoy yourself.   Spread good cheer! Remember that you are blessed to be able to walk through the aisles with enough money to buy something for the people you love most.  If they are out of Zhu-Zhu toys, it is not the end of the world.

If The Shoe Fits… (a.k.a. I Believe I Found the Answer to our Saga of Hard-to-Fit Feet!)

Posted on August 31, 2009 | 2 comments

Polkadotshoes

We have a problem in our house…someone (no pointing fingers…or toes) has hard to fit feet!  :)

After spending much time last week trying on pair, after pair, after pair (and still coming home empty handed), I made a wonderful discovery: 

Endless.com Online Shoe Store (A relatively new division of Amazon.com).

Not only does Endless live up to its name of having a seemingly “endless” selection of women’s, men’s, and children’s shoes in all styles/price ranges, but they also have an incredible selection for hard to fit feet (narrow to very wide, small to very large sizes …and everything in between).  You can search by size, color, brand, price and other criteria.   I even found the hard-to-find brand of shoes (only sold at a handful of stores in DFW) that, when all else fails, will fit the aforementioned problematic feet.

The “Icing” On The Cake… 
Endless.com provided FREE OVERNIGHT SHIPPING to my home, FREE Return Shipping (this sealed the deal for me), and a 100% Price Guarantee.  Plus, no sales tax on purchases in Texas (so we saved almost 10% more in DFW)!

From dress shoes, to running shoes, I believe I have just found my new “go-to” shopping source for shoes.  :)

If you want to check them out, you can get to Endless.com by clicking here.

P.S. For those inquiring minds who wanted to know:  No…this “lovely” red and black polk-a-dot, minnie-mouse number is not on my order.  No, no they are not.  :)

Enjoy! :)
