Living Social deals


Check this out-
This is my receipt from an online order with Last Call by Neiman Marcus (their online outlet.)  Not a place I typically shop but a friend sent me an email promoting a Living Social deal for Last Call.  Are you familiar with Living Social? They're a lot like Groupon. Limited time offers for deals on services, local and national businesses, etc.
The deal I bought was $25 for a $50 gift certificate. When I put the deal in my cart a message came up offering me another 20% off making my total $20.
What my receipt above doesn't show were the original prices on the two items before they became "Last Call."  The dress was originally $185 and the bracelet was $40. Crazy!!  So for a total of $35 I ended up with $225 worth of merchandise! Did I mention free shipping too?

Quick Outlet stop

Image
After work Friday I ran over to The Outlet Shoppes at Gettysburg - http://www.horizongroup.com/our-centers/gettysburg/ .  Quick trip to find my niece a birthday present.  To those who are familiar with the Gettysburg Outlets you know it isn't the largest outlet mall around but over time their store selection has improved.  And considering the fact that they are the only outlet mall less than an hour drive from home, I tend to stop in at least once a season.  Here are my latest finds- I took along my $10 saving certificate for Bass/Izod/or Van Heusen (its incredibly easy to earn these, I never spend very much in the stores and I still get a couple of these a year.) These leather loafers (available in olive green and black as well) were originally $100.  They were on the clearance table marked with a yellow dot (85% off!!!)  So, with my savings certificate these were $5!!!! Moving on to the Gap- crazy sales in there this weekend!!!  Tons of these 70...

A little bling...

I tend to forget that the popular teenage boutique, Forever 21, is a great place for moms, and dare I say middle aged gals, to shop.  I usually remember what a great place it is when I'm in a really fancy mall and stumble across one of their GORGEOUS, shiny, marble laden exquisite stores. Aside from the sheer beauty of the upscale versions of the shop, the selling point for me are the extreme deals.  Look at these beauties I recently picked up: Love this Bee pendant. And for $3.80 who wouldn't love it?  No sale, no clearance, this is regular price!!  And this beauty... $8.80!!! Forever 21 is full of great, affordable accessories including scarves, tights, etc.  On a completely different note, but still blingy, look at this beautiful blouse from J. Crew... Love that gem encrusted collar!! Ok, you see that it's on sale but, if you know me, you know that's not nearly good enough.  Here's what I found at Kohls last night... Amazing, I know.  But look at th...

Black Friday 2013

Black Friday isn't what it used to be. The days of going to bed thanksgiving night with visions of early morning door buster deals is long gone.  Sadly, the best deals are available when we should still be enjoying our friends and family around the table. Whatever your plans may be for shopping next week (or this one) check a couple of my favorite resources before planning your purchases. Www.blackfriday.com and  www.bfads.net are two websites that "leak" Black Friday ads and allow you to create your own printable wish lists.  At this point almost all of the major retailers have leaked their ads. Here are a couple of early sales to be aware of and thankfully they all have online deals available so you can shop from the comfort of your couch! Walmart is promoting an early Black Friday sale this Friday at 8:00 am both in store and online.  They are offering a few of their big deals a full week early.  Likewise, Amazon begins Black Friday "week" on Monday with a we...
