My Most Triumphant Outlet Shopping Story


I love shopping for business suits at outlet stores there's such a big savings. I still buy business cloths but, on a very tight budget, so every dollar counts. I remember the very first time going to an outlet store at thirteen there was a line of women waiting for this place to open. When going in there were rows and rows of suits though out this warehouse. Savings up to 85% off and others were 40-50% off ticket price. I came out with a beautiful cream colored suit and skirt and a black jacket for very little money.

Here is the story behind the infamous suit purchases at Macy's.

We went to Macy's at North Olmstead and stopped at the women's clothing department.. A clerk named Sandy asked if she could help. I replied I was just looking around. She said there was a great deal she had on some clearance suits and what was my size. I said 5 regular and she then pulled out a grayish glen plaid Hart Schaffner & Marx suit I tried it on and the only alteration needed was cuffing the pants. The regular price was $695 on sale for $349.50. But the good news didn't stop there! She then said there was a special coupon she had which would take another 20% off, and if I reactivated a Macy's charge, then another additional 20% would be deducted off the total. Bottom line, the suit ended up costing me $222.40 before sales tax!

My next question to Sandy was; Do you have any other Hart Schaffner & Marx suits at that price? She said no, but she did have a Nautica blue wool in my size. Original price $495. my price thanks to Sandy, $158.40!

If this was a MasterCard commercial, my comment on buying two quality suits including alterations for a total price of $433.46, priceless!
