@tobes Thanks for explaining further.  I agree with your post.  That said, I never pay retail for anything at Talbots, and while the first markdown may not be so great, there are plenty of 40% and even occasionally 50% off item coupons, and many other offers to save money (such as $20 off coupons which can be used on top of sale prices, etc.).   What I do pay for T's clothing ends up being extremely reasonable, because of all the special offers (as others on this thread such as cherry have pointed out).  

You are right though - the key is not to pay retail - ever - and to wait for great deals.  For example, I have a thread on this board about the Working Girl dress and I paid $16 (with my discounts and its clearance price) for a dress that was originally $149 (I think - it may have been even more than that) from T's special elegant RSVP line of dressy clothing.   

And, also as others have pointed out, I'm treated absolutely great at Talbots.  That store really appreciates its customers and shows it!
