A friend of mine recently went to Macy’s while they were having a huge sale.
HEEEEUGE sale.
HEEEEEEEEEEYOOOOOOOOOGE. Sale.
As she was sending me picture texts of various clothing articles I started to feel the inner tigress inside of me and I knew I just had to go myself. It was 5:15 pm, which at our house means cranky- children-who-need-dinner-time, and Macy’s is a good 15 or so minutes away….
But I had to do it. I can NOT miss a sale like that!
So thankfully The Hubby watched Cal while I strapped Gwyn in the car, picked up a Happy Meal, and zipped on over to the next town. I set Gwyn up in the stroller with her food and she and I were good to go.
I have been on the lookout for cheap, chunky (preferable cable knit) sweaters ever since I went to Seattle and spotted this pillow at Pottery Barn. But, cable knit isn’t exactly cheap, so I have been striking out.
Until…… tonight. I found THREE all in the preferred cream color I have been looking for! Look out for a DIY sweater pillow post soon!
And then came the children’s section….
SO many cute options! And actually, I found more things I liked for Cal! I did have to refrain myself a little bit here.
And the things I ended up with weren’t chintsy, cheap pieces of clothing, but NICE stuff!
For Cal I got these two sweaters…
For Gwyn I picked up a white ruffled shirt and a red cardigan with gray patched on the elbows (which I LOVE!)
For a friend’s new baby this ADORABLE and incredibly soft pink ruffle shirt and extremely scrumptious cream and cheetah cardigan.
I couldn’t leave The Hubby out, so I picked up this very nice sweater that was originally $69 for only about $5!
So, I got all of this….
for $40!!!!!!
That’s IT! It retailed at $361.09, so I saved a total of $321.09! PFF!! I practically STOLE these clothes from the store!
But wait…….
My friend…..
She got all of this….
This too…
19 shirts
8 sweaters
5 pairs of pants
6 sets of pajamas
2 winter coats
2 memory foam pillows (NICE ones)
1 queen sheet set (800 thread count, btw)
1 men’s belt
4 bath towels
1 infant three-piece suit
1 winter hat/glove set
…for $470.89 when it all retailed at $1,939.06!!!!!
How did we score so big, you might ask?
Well to start, Macy’s was having their winter sale. Then, my pal opened up a Macy’s card, saving an additional 20%. And THEN, Macy’s was having a promotion going on that if you donated $2 to the American Heart Association, you got 20% off your purchase.
So you could pretty much get whatever your little heart desired for a minuscule amount AND help save lives.
Done and done.
I seriously love a good sale. Really gets my juice pumping. 
The winter sale is still going on right now at Macy’s and we stopped in yesterday to pick up some sheets and they were taking an additional 40% off the lowest price! Get your buns on over there asap!
Happy Monday!
