That was exciting. I don't wear it often because it's too warm, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-deal-non-thrifted#post-1150415 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 15:44:55 +0000 ironkurtin 1150415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember my first Inhabit sample sale.&nbsp; Their sweaters retail from $350 up.&nbsp; I walked in and there were no prices listed, so I asked.&nbsp; Everything was $40. I actually got lightheaded. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-deal-non-thrifted#post-1150351 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 13:54:13 +0000 doubleh 1150351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember my "first". &nbsp;In high school I found a Guess denim jacket for $15 marked down from $90. &nbsp;I thought I hit the jackpot and a new obsession for finding deals was born. &nbsp;I do tend to find deals too, so it's hard to remember all of them. &nbsp;Not sure if I ever did less than $5, but probably lots under $10.</p> <p>A great value via a different route:<br />A couple years ago I headed to a Red Sox game direct from work and didn't have anything warm to wear. &nbsp;I had to buy a sweatshirt outside Fenway and felt sick that I had to spend $50 on a sweatshirt that I didn't particularly want. &nbsp;At the end of the night, I realized that the couple we went with had drank 6 beers between them. &nbsp;At $8/beer, they spent the same as I did at that game. &nbsp;Except I still am wearing that sweatshirt. &nbsp;(And I always remind myself of this when I'm tempted to get that 2nd/3rd martini.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-deal-non-thrifted#post-1150252 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 06:45:36 +0000 Mia 1150252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of black velvet trousers from Old Navy that cost 4.99. I have worn them a lot so the cpw is minuscule. They are years old now and are wearing extremely well. </p> <p>Can't beat your shirt deal price though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-deal-non-thrifted#post-1150198 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 03:38:23 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1150198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great deal. I once ended up getting a button front shirt on clearance from Kohls with a take home price of twenty five cents, but that was after I used a ten dollar 'Kohls bucks' coupon, so that's kinda cheating. Sales seem to be so common here that I practically don't buy anything without a discount or some kind of deal - recently the local Loehmanns was closing, and they had things discounted at 25-30%, which seemed like nothing at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-deal-non-thrifted#post-1150197 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 03:38:05 +0000 Anonymous 1150197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Such a great deal.</p> <p>I got a dress for something like $4.88&nbsp;at Loft last spring. White with black dots. Cute shape and nice full skirt. There was only one left on the clearance rack and it was my size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-deal-non-thrifted#post-1150193 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 03:33:55 +0000 LACeleste 1150193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p></p> <p>Hi! &nbsp;Fun thread! &nbsp;Like Mo, I am a bargain hunter and for me, Ross and Marshalls&nbsp;have been the source of many a treasure. &nbsp;I think I live in a good location for finding deals. &nbsp;I never found amazing deals in NYC.</p> <p>Most recently, my Unisa leopard heels for $.49 at Ross. &nbsp;Full disclosure--I did have to pay CA state sales tax so the total was a little higher. &nbsp;:)</p> <p>It's only a bargain if it's useful and fills a hole&nbsp;so much of my buying is for my sister or&nbsp;friends.</p> <p>I was looking for&nbsp;heels that weren't metallic so these will work. &nbsp;I realize that they may be an old style but I'm OK w/ that for the price.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-deal-non-thrifted#post-1150175 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 03:12:58 +0000 Mo 1150175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got Jacob Connexion pants here in the US at a discount store for $9.99. &nbsp;Never heard of the brand before, and never seen it after. &nbsp;My first skinnies, actually. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />But my best deal was a Rampage sunflower print rayon sheath yellow sundress from Ross some 20 years ago. &nbsp;$1.49 because it was missing it's string to lace up the back. &nbsp;I bought yellow satin string for about 50 cents. &nbsp;<br />My sheer stripe olive dolman top I got a few months back at Belk's&nbsp;was $7. &nbsp;I went to exchange the size and found they were then 2 for 1, so got a red one too, essentially making the olive one $3.50. &nbsp;<br />Oh, and the Roxy shoes on Friday were $6. &nbsp;:) &nbsp;<br />I'm sure there are more. &nbsp;I tend to find deals.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-deal-non-thrifted#post-1150161 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 02:57:20 +0000 Suz 1150161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. I'm sort of gobsmacked by that price. I don't think I have have ever seen anything to rival that! &nbsp;I honestly don't know what my best non-thrift deal would be. </p> <p>The truth is, I find out that it's a deal more in the wearing than in the original buying, if you know what I mean. Things turn out to be workhorses that I might not expect. It isn't the number on the price tag so much as the number of times worn and enjoyed that make a true deal to me.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-deal-non-thrifted#post-1150049 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 00:40:30 +0000 Thistle 1150049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great bargain! So glad you scored it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-deal-non-thrifted#post-1150042 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 00:30:11 +0000 spoff 1150042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I often shop at a store here in Canada called Jacob. I find they offer a good fit for my body type. So last week I was checking out the outlet store when I noticed a sale rack with white button downs.since I was looking to replace mine I thought I'd check it out. I found one in my size that had a cute rounded collar,French cuffs and was the perfect length. It was originally 50.00 marked down to 19.99. Great I thought I'll take it. When I flipped the tag over it was actually marked down further to 4.99! Then when I got to the cash it was on an additional markdown of 60 percent off. I paid 2.30 for it taxes included ! By far the best deal I've ever had on a brand new item . So tell me ,what is your best bargin ever on a non thrifted item ? </p>
