gerisullivanRemember that dress I picked up for $33.99, not even knowing it was on sale until the price showed up on the charge screen? Well, I received my Macy's bill today, and the story gets even better.
Here's a picture. The details are in the caption. Click on the picture for close-ups of the dress, a couple of snapshots showing the velvet jacket from the Coldwater Creek Sale Spree, and a bonus picture of Jim's Potatoes.

| The $33.99 dress When I walked up to the Macy's cashier, I thought I was going to pay $119 for this party dress (with jacket). Turns out it was on sale, and then they gave me another 15% off for using my Macy's charge account. The amount on the sales receipt = $33.99. Then the bill came. Turns out I had at $25 credit on my account. Who knew? I hadn't used it in over 5 years; I don't remember why I had a credit. Found money. Yay! Does that make this my $8.99 dress? Presumably not, but who knows when I would have cashed in that $25 credit otherwise. |

Date: 2008-01-09 02:22 am (UTC)Had my own shopping treat today: went into a store having a 50% off sale on an impulse. I spotted some high-neck ribbed sleeveless tank-ish tops (perfect for work in Melbourne hot weather) that reminded me a lot of a similar design I'd seen in a more upscale store and had bought for $25.99. When I flipped the rack for my size, I saw that the labels were cut out but they were definitely the same as the upscale store. They were marked $19.99 so I got two more, each for $9.99! Until I saw these cut-out labels I hadn't realized the store was a discount outlet but now I definitely plan on going back more often :->
