I went clothes shopping today and the experience made me realize...

how much I spend on the shopping channels for cloths. I need to look in the B & M more often. I got 2 lovely summer burn out jackets at Belk for $34 each and 3 summer blouses from Bealls for only $17.00 each with the coupons. Great buys!

The department stores offer much better quality and great sales, and so fun to shop!

I agree! I can't remember the last time I purchased a clothing item online. (Exception being workout/fitness gear.)

No matter where I am shopping I look for great deals. I will walk away from almost anything if it isn't a good clearance price. I do it in stores and online. Love the good deals I get.

The woman in front of me at Steinmart has a massive cart of clothing that rang up for over $100 and after all her sales and coupons and whatever the 12 hour sale was, it came to $48.

And it looked like nice stuff as it was coming out of the cart. She got a boat load of towels, too.

Sometimes though when you need THAT color it's better than going to 10 stores!

I love Stein Mart but it is 45 minutes away. I wish they would build one here.

Online shopping is good for those who can't get out or who live miles away from shopping centers. For me, I want to see it, touch it, and judge the quality before I buy. There are exceptions, sometimes I get attached to something I see on the shopping channels, something I wouldn't find in B&M, I buy those.

Absolutely.....I love to shop at the stores for clothing.....not so much online. Always have tons of coupons, too.

I'm the same way. I shop a couple of sites online that, if I put something in my cart and leave the site, next day or two, I get an email offering me free shipping on what I left behind

They just built one closer to me, on the way to everything, so I go there weekly now and even signed up for the credit card. There was another one close by, but it was in the middle of no where, on the way to no where and I never thought about going.

I buy very little clothing on the Q. I am just so unsure of their sizing and I don't want to spend the $ on returns. I did buy one Isaac jacket this year and like it very much. I enjoy looking and watching but that is where it ends. And I would never buy pants online as I am particular about the fit and to a certain degree - hard to fit - I have slim hips and legs and a somewhat flat butt. I tried pants at the Q last year and was very disappointed so that was my first and last attempt. And when you shop smart you can do very well at B&M. One of my favorite places is Marshalls (love their Shoe Shop) and the Loft (their skinny jeans are a great fit for me). I will buy online when the brands are those that I buy at B&M and know the fit and the sizing.

And ......... when I go to a local B&M store, (drum roll please), I don't pay ANY shipping costs!!

Not sure what happened to my last post. Again...... I have spent around 1,000 in the past week, online. Easter crystal, etc. Free shipping on clothing. If it doesn't fit I will return it to the store. Shoes, Zappo's, already got them and love them. Free shipping on them. QVC is ok for basics.

Our local shopping is Walmart and kohl's and imho if you are a plus size their clothes are not to my liking. I was in chicago last weekend and saw some nice stores but $600 for a 3 day shopping trip is expensive for me.

You can really clean up at some of the department stores when there's a clearance sale combined with a coupon. Today I went to Macy's to return some shoes, and scored a pair of Nine West leather riding boots, originally $169, for $25 and change! Granted, I won't get much wear out of them for a while, but they are a classic style and will be great to have next fall/winter season.

I love clothes shopping in the stores. I'm a New Yorker and even at the high end stores I always get amazing deals on gorgeous high quality apparel & accessories. I pick up something periodically fom QVC but I prefer high quality for work, going out and special events.

Yes. I love finding something great for a great price. My husband says I shop like it's my job, but you have to be pay attention, otherwise you'll pay high prices for junk!

OK I agree, I am currently in florida and just ran up a whole bunch on my Beall's credit card. I live up north and consider it a privilege to buy SUMMER CLOTHES in March. So I loaded up and yes there is a savings....... the thing is I hate to shop at home. Stores are crowded, merchandise is picked over, so for my convenience I shop online...... that's it. I love the Q, no one in my area is wearing what I'm wearing (except when I shop at Macy's, then everyone is wearing what I'm wearing). I pay the price and don't complain for this easy way to do things. Time is money and my time is valuable. That's just my opinion. PS.... VACCINIA.... you did good...but shopping a year ahead doesn't happen for all of us.

I prefer to shop on line. Not necessarily the Q, but on line.
