Shops are going on summer sales ! Do you take advantage ?

The first weekend of the August Virginia had a tax free weekend for school supplies. I needed some college ruled paper and I got it! But summer fashion? No I don't need anything. I'm good with clothes.

Oh yeah for sure, I def take advantage of summer sales!! You get really great things that maybe you wanted all summer and couldn’t afford! And ok yeah, so the summer is over, and you maybe won’t get to wear the things until next year BUT by next year, what you wearing will be different from everyone else, because everyone has bought that top, or those shorts this year and are wearing the, but when you buy it in the sale, come next summer it’ll be new to you! And no one else will be wearing it because they will be wearing new stuff that they spent a fortune on :)

I like to go to sales when I can, but I do the same as with my grocery list: I will not buy anything I don´t need just because it´s cheap. I used to do it though until I discovered that I had more towells and sheets than what I needed and did not have a place to put them away. So I gave the surpluss to my daughters and my excitement is curbed my my real needs

What a question?! Of course, I take advantage of sales! I love them, in fact! I think it's the most beautiful word!hahahah!! Speaking of which, I do hope the shops here would have big sales this weekend. I'd like to look at some cargo pants!hihihi...

I certainly do. If ever there is a sale, I always try my best to go there just a few minutes before the opening of the mall on the first day to be able to get the best choices of goods before they run out. I buy the necessities in bulk while the rest will depend in my criteria: a) Do I need it? b) Will I use it? c) Is it worth buying? d) Do I really want it? If not, then never mind. I don't care if it is on sale. With prices of goods going way up above our budget, you have to be smart and use your money wisely.

My wife does and that automatically includes me on it. Everytime there's a sale in a nearby mall, she always makes it a point that we go there. I'm always the driver and the bag carrier for the things that she bought. I'm not complaining though, it may sound like I am but I get new stuff from my wife whenever there's a sale. I usually remind her to buy me some tools or accessories for my car that's on sale so it is a win win situation.

I have heard they are supposed to be having sales, but then I hear how manufactures are raising prices on the items...adding a few rhinestones to pockets and raising the price of the garment $5. The reason they say is because people aren't buying at the regular price, so they jazz the garment up and then tell you you are getting a much better garment...and for only $5 more!I am not looking for much in sales this year...2 years of recession and unemployment and people need clothes...so they will only drop prices so much...people need to replace clothes from 2 years ago now. Or they raise the price and then do a BOGO half off. I am not looking for to many GOOD sales. Hope others find them!

Oh heck yes! I have bought wayyy too much summer clothes from consignment shops and regular stores on super-duper clearance! I love clearance/sale shopping! Especially because usually they go on sale halfway through the summer, so you still have the rest of the summer to enjoy wearing them! I know there are still a lot of sales going on but I'm trying to stay away from them as I literally have bought at least 30 new shirts, 10 new dresses, and 5 new pairs of jeans this summer (none of them being over $10 a piece!).

Here in India we have so many festivals around the year, during such there is always discounts of 10 to 20 % is common, but some times they increase the price by 30% and give you discount of 20% on that enhansed price tag. I prefer to buy from shops that charge the right price Thanks for this discussion Have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘@Bhuwan@’. .

No! The shops that have the sales are those that I can't afford! Ordinary, affordable shops just don't have sales.

Yes i take advantage of summer sales.I mean there's no better deal than sales.I admit i shop at the sales rack because some clothes there are really pretty and sometimes full price is ridiculously high

of course! sales are the best thing that can ever happen. The only down side is that it's always crowded, you have to get their early, and the lines are huge.

Yeah I do take advantage of shop/mall sales given that I have something that I like in the shop. Share this concern on www.lifo.com where girls can freely share their views on beauty and fashion.
