Black Friday: the start of the sale season

November 28th, 2008

Retailers are showing their good will early this year. There are unprecedented merchandise discounts and specials everywhere. It’s virtually a shame to pay full price for anything at the moment.

If you are perusing the sales today, remember the golden rule: do not be seduced by anything that does not work for you. Closet orphans are a waste of money at any price.

I won’t be shopping today because I suspect that retailers will continue their crazy sales between now and the start of the new Spring season. They are desperate to part with their merchandise in this tough economic climate and as consumers we should take advantage of that.

Here are some Thanksgiving weekend deals:

I went shopping today and got three pairs of shoes for myself and one for my husband. All four of them together cost around $70. I love Payless. And we had fun shopping with family.

Here is one additon to the list: Tulle has an AMAZING sale, today only. Everything on their site is at least 50% off, including sales items. The sale is so steep that I worry they might be going out of business… In any case, I placed an order for 5 things and paid less than $100. Free shipping, too. http://www.tulle4us.com/ It’s almost too good to be true! Note that their sizes tend to run small, though. I’m a solid M but need L for some of their jackets.
