Shopping at Penney's

MomCat · ‎09-12-2010

Today I stopped by Penney's because I needed a few basic clothing items. Since I was dragging the ball and chain hubby along, I wanted to make it a swift run. I was so surprised that so much of the clothing was marked down, I dispatched hubby into his department to pick up a few things for himself too. We hooked back up and compared notes on how much we saved on our fabulous finds. Checked out, and the clerk handed me a $20 bonus coupon, effective immediately. Ok. Not leaving that on the table. Grabbed a few more items. Checked out again, and the clerk handed me a $10 bonus coupon, effective immediately. OMG Can't give that up either. Now, the pressure is on. Hubby and I walked that store to find that special item. Checked out, and I actually threatened the clerk to NOT hand me another coupon. She didn't. On the way out, hubby said, I thought that was fun. Good grief. That coming from a NON-shopper. LOL

I think the malls are suffering with everyone ordering online more and more each year - glad it paid off!

Great sale. Love when that happens when I wasn't expecting it.

I had a similar shopping experience at JCP a number of years ago near Christmas, but before their bottom almost fell out. I went to one of their nicer stores in my area and was at least marginally impressed. As for the sales and coupons, I think it's just how they roll around this time of year. I got a ton of stuff at great savings. I hadn't shopped there in years and was sort of surprised at all I found. Have to admit, I don't think I've been there since. They have so few stores and the one nearest me while in a nice area isn't one of their best.

In my pantry with my cupcakes...

I also shopped at Penney's last weekend. Found 2 long sleeve t-shirts for 7.99 and they washed up wonderfully, and are soft and comfortable. Glad I stopped in. I was not really looking for these, but needed some for work in the appropriate colors! Love.

I think Penny's is roaring back to life, at least here it has....

I have shopped Penneys for decades, but when they changed their approach a couple years ago, I just could not continue to shop there. I tried 3-4 times to pick up some things I wanted/needed, but it was impossible and I left in disgust. Haven't been back, and as a matter of face, haven't even set foot in the mall this shopping season.
