    Out-the-Door end of season sales.  At Younkers, JCPenney, and Kohls savings of 75%-85% off.  Stores are clearing out summer stock to make room for Fall Fashions.  Limited stock, but well worth the hunt.  Now is the time to buy closeouts on summer shoes,  JCPenney and Younkers have racks of shoes all for $9.99 a pair. 

    Furniture stores usually have big sales twice a year.  One happens in August and the other one after New Year’s Day.  When looking at sale prices please note that furniture usually carries a higher mark-up than apparel, about double.  The best deal occur on display models or one of a kind usually reduced more than 50% depending on style and popularity.  Attractive interest rates are offered, but remember that you must pay each month the minimal payment if you do not want to get socked with accumulated interest accrued over the payment time.  As with anything, read the terms clearly before signing.

    Spiegel is giving an additional 20% off any item including End of Season clearance this weekend.  To get this additional savings use Promotional code 212 when checking out.  Savings can be up to 85% off msrp.  Shipping & handling runs a minimum of $7.95 for each purchase, therefore, make sure if you buy several items that you purchase them on the same order. 

    At PB Teen-Pottery Barn teen, you can save up to 75% on  Clearance.  MDM recommends the limited but quality duvet covers and matching shams.  You won’t always find the matching sheet sets, but the prices are excellent on duvet covers for your down comforters.

    Decorating a dorm room or an apartment?  Target [instore] has houseware supplies on sale up to 75% off.  In the next few weeks, the store will be marking down its’ Back-To-School merchandise such as backpacks, etc.  MDM usually waited several weeks after school started to stock up on school supplies, excluding necessary notebooks since the numbers of the much sought after notebooks are depleted early.
