But it's actually $48.60. Could have used that extra 8.50 on a cute pair of Mossimo jeans on the clearance rack at Target to go with that RP jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-math#post-1891047 Sun, 18 Feb 2018 00:18:25 +0000 Colette 1891047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It can get confusing! I just figure the first discount and any other discounts a happy bonus. And now that I know there is an extra bonus I need to make time to get to the store tomorrow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-math#post-1891040 Sun, 18 Feb 2018 00:01:57 +0000 Marilyn 1891040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're tricky, for sure.
