Hey there Bargain Shoppers,
Even though it's 80 degrees outside, it's never too early to think about your winter wardrobe. If you head down Kirkwood, you'll see that Urban Outfitters is having a sidewalk sale until May 31st. The $5 sign should lure you in. If you search the racks, you'll find plenty of sweaters, jackets, dresses, and tops on sale for $5. You might be concerned about investing in pieces that may be out of style come winter, but the selection at Urban Outfitters were all basics that could be easily mixed and matched with your existing wardrobe or the pieces that you have yet to buy. There are a lot of XS and L sized items, but you should come out with something even if you're a S or M. If you are looking for pieces that you can wear sooner, there were also dresses on sale for $29.99 and less.
Inside the store, you'll find a larger selection of items on sale. Books start at $4.90 and tops start at $19.99. There were also some home items (e.g., plates, bookends) and accessories (e.g., wallets, scarves, hats) on sale for around $9.99 and up.
I snatched up a navy military jacket (originally priced at $54.00) and a green knit sweater (originally priced at $58.00) for $5 each. Despite the fact that I have at least 6 months to wait to wear my new purchases, I look forward to the moment when I can show off my $5 duds.
Have you noticed any good sales around town? Feel free to share them here.
Happy shopping!

Hi Nikole,
ReplyDeleteI just thought of one! If you walk into Hobby Lobby it can seem quite expensive, but usually large portions of the store are 20-70% off. After shopping there on a regular basis I started to notice that pretty much the whole inventory is on a 2-3 week sale rotation. If the item you want is not on sale you can usually wait a week (or two) and it will be. All of the sales are listed in the weekly ad on their website so you don't have to go in to check. Also, if you don't want to (or can't) wait a couple of weeks, you can usually print a coupon from the website for 40% off anything (sometimes the coupon is only good for a particular item, but most weeks you can use it for any item even a big ticket one).
What a great tip! I'm sure Michaels is on a similar kind of rotation. They also have coupons in the paper or on your receipt.
ReplyDeleteI was going to give an update about the Urban Outfitters sale. I went back there yesterday with a friend, and everything that was $5 is practically gone. What's left is pretty picked over. There are still other clothes on sale, but probably in the $10-40 range.
