When I was up in Michigan visiting my parents, we went to the most wonderful outlet mall in the world (ok in my world). It's a branch of the Premium Outlets in Birch Run, MI - about 30 mins from my parents' house. We always have the best luck finding deals when we go there. I have my go-to stores: all of the kitchen stores, North Face, Columbia, Bath and Body Works, JCrew, Gap, Old Navy, and Bass. Because I had not made a trip up that way in the past couple of years I was completely unaware that New York & Company, Ann Taylor and LOFT (yes LOFT!) all had opened up outlets!!! I was like a kid in a candy store. Plus there's a Culver's right across the street so you can stop and eat a butter burger & some yummy ice cream and go right back to shopping!
All of the stores have incredible deals, but I am completely convinced that Bass's "Buy 1, Get 2" Shoe sale--yes Buy 1, Get 2 on Bass SHOES--is by far the best sale to take advantage of. We hit it at the perfect time, too. They had just put out all of their boots for the new season! I know I live in Alabama, why do I need boots....right? Bass has a very nice selection of leather boots (that I can wear to work). Because I am 5'10" I appreciate that the heels on their boots are not sky high, however, they still very stylish.
Get to the deal!!!
So we took advantage of their B1G2 sale and got 3 pairs of boots, plus a pair of dress shoes and 2 belts, for a whopping $140.36. Wanna know the best part? We SAVED $449.65! No joke! We got all of our purchases @ a 76% savings!
Here's how we did it:
We bought one pair of boots for $149.99, then we got 2 pairs (one was $129.99 the other was $149.99 for FREE!) The other pair of dress shoes we got was on sale for $34.99 (marked down from $99.99). The belts were originally $44 and $46, but they were on sale "Buy 1 @ 50% off , Get 1 @ 75% off" so we got one for $23 and one for $11.
If you are trying to keep up with the total we are @ $218.98 for our grand total right now.
Well Mom just happened to have a 20% off your entire purchase coupon with her, so the total got knocked down to $175.15, plus she had a $5 off coupon from a purchase we had made earlier in the day at another store, which made it $170.15. To add to that awesome total, Mom had 2 rewards certificates from purchases she made over the past year or so which took an additional $40 off our total, making the grand total with tax $140.36.
We were extremely pleased with our savings! Now all I have to do is wait for Christmas and my birthday so I can start wearing them!
