Fall Fashion vs. Summer Sales

QVC.  There is a dichotomy going on at QVC’ this week.  On the one hand, clearance is going on for Fall fashions including coats from Dennis Basso, in some cases even on easy pay. On the other hand, new featured price Fall fashion is being offered by Dennis Basso and George Simonton, among others.  What may be happening is that designer overstocks from last year are being sold as clearance at the same time new Fall merchandise , with special pricing, is being offered to boost flagging sales.  At any rate, the bargain hunter can pick-up some bargains at the same time seeing how they will fit in with the upcoming season’s trends.  Worth a looksee!

Lane Bryant Instore End of Season Blowout Sale.  Great deals on summer togs including tops, slacks, and jewelry.  Most items are 50% off markdown price, and be sure to bring in your coupons.  Buy $75 worth of sale items and apply the coupon for an additional $25 off.  This can equate to getting some items absolutely free.  In real terms this means merchandise that retails for $150, you can end up paying only $5o!  That’s a total savings of 70% off.  Lane Bryant is also getting a special line of  jeggings for Fall.

When A Sale Is Hiding

Most online sites will have a dedicated “Sale” category.  Now this can also be referred to as “clearance,” “outlet,” or “overstocks,” as well.  But some retailers like Dillard’s don’t list any category.  Okay, one would reason they must not have any markdowns.  Yeah, right–believe me, all retailers have merchandise that must be discounted and moved out of inventory–even in the best of times! 

 How can you find these sales? 

1.  Well, you can sign-up for their email and usually they will post special sale events among other fun information. 

2.  You can subscribe to deal sites like MarkdownMom and get the latest on sales and how to shop them.

3.  Or, you can search for sale at their site, by entering “sale” into their item search.  That’s what MarkdownMom recently and voilà found Dillard’s sale on teen apparel, shoes, cosmetics, men’s, women’s, home, and more like the Ruby Rox 2Fer Dress pictured reg.$69.00, now on sale for $20.70

4.  Tip:  if you don’t find the discounted items by using the word “sale,” try the other synonyms, one is bound to strike pay dirt!
