For example, Old Navy is selling frost free vests for $12 and frost free jackets for $20 today and tomorrow; although I was able to get a puffer jacket for only $10 at Burlington Coat Factory almost a month ago. I also bought a pair of 70's style wide-leg denim jeans at Old Navy last month for only $6.00. Last month around the time of Thanksgiving/Black Friday, Old Navy had up to a 75% discount on specific items on different days. I always do pretty well shopping on the clearance rack at Old Navy. <br><br>I recently found a pretty, sparkly black shirt dress at Ross for only $10 this past weekend. It is a great look for the holidays. Long sweaters are also on sale in the junior size for as cheap as $7.99 at Ross. Ross also has good sales on shoes, especially the boots, because I bought two pairs of tall to knee-high length boots in September for a total of $39. The ...

The boots may not be real, but they look just as good as the real ones with just as much style. It is also important that I share that one needs a good eye for finding items at stores like Ross. It is important to have patience. I know I can easily spend one to two hours shopping at stores like Ross. <br><br>Another store I like is H&amp;M . I shopped there last month and was amazed to find two long sleeveless shirts for $5.00 combined and a cute sleeveless pink dress for $7.00 shopping on the clearance rack. At Macy's last month I also bought a stainless steel toaster oven for only $29.00. It's a nice size. I believe Target sold one for $20 during Black Friday. <br><br>Walmart is selling house slippers , watches, and fleece blankets for just under $5.00. <br><br>Please share what deals you may have found recently.<br><br><br> https://smartshopping4u.ucoz.com/blog/have_you_started_your_christmas_shopping_already/2011-12-13-1 RitaRita https://smartshopping4u.ucoz.com/blog/have_you_started_your_christmas_shopping_already/2011-12-13-1 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 23:51:52 GMT
