I was a busy girl today and found myself at the mall on the beach.
Of course, I had to visit my new favorite store… Ann Taylor Loft…where I found this pair of capri-style, grey pinstriped dress pants…
These pants were originally $54.50. They had been marked down to $14.88; however, the store currently has selected items marked down for an additional 50%, so I wound up walking out of there after spending only $8!!! These are very well-made pants and fit me like a glove. They are going to look great with a white shirt and either heels or flats, depending on my mood. The bonus is that they are uber-professional!
While I was paying for the pants, one of the store’s clerks told me about the teacher discount that is available.
Say what?
Visit the Loft’s web site and look for “Teacher” at the bottom of the home page…
Register yourself and then print the 15% page. It’s something you’ll want to keep in your wallet so you’ll have it every time you stop in. However, you can only use the discount on regularly-priced items. That’s the only down side because the clothes are not cheap. Still, if you get in a pinch and need a go-to outfit and can’t wait for a sale, it’s nice to be able to save some money.
Next, I headed to Borders which, as you know, is liquidating its assets. Supposedly, there are great sales.
I beg to differ.
Most of the books are only marked down 10%.
Folks, I can do the same using my discount card at Books a Million.
However, I did notice that the magazines are marked down 40%.
It probably won’t surprise you to see what I got…
There are selected items that are marked down 20%; however, I wasn’t interested. I’m going to bide my time and wait for the store to get desperate enough to mark things down even more.
I can’t tell you how important it is to get out there and shop regularly. That’s when you discover treasures for cheap!
