HSN REALLY KNOWS HOW TO DO CLEARANCE SHOWS

I couldn't believe the clearance prices on HSN, some items were reduced by $100! Needless to say, I did some damage on my credit card but it's worth it. The Q should take a lesson from them. I have to laugh when they have clearance prices and an item is $3.00 or $5.00 cheaper, sorry that's not a clearance to me. Prices on everything are going through the roof, I never remember Susan Graver tops being $50-60, the same for Denim & Co. And Quacker Factory. I'm not a fan of denim & co. Or Quacker, I'm more of a Linea, George Simonton person but even their prices have gone up substantially. I don't shop that much anymore with the Q, returns take forever, quality has gone down and very inconsistent sizing.

I agree the HSN does a really good clearance. They are faster on their shipping also. Regarding clothing styles I use to buy a lot of Susan Graver's tops, but the last few were just not the same quality and the price had gone up. Don't buy denim co., anymore either.

Everything I wanted was already gone in my size or color. I did order some Joan Boyce animal print pj's..but I didn't really need anything anyway, lol! LOVE their sales, but really, some of the items were pretty much sold out before they aired. Wish I had checked in tuesday night! LOVE the reduced shipping too!

QVC seems to have made a pact with someone never to do a real sale.

I love Target's sales. 'Special all week! - was 6.95, now 6.45.' I'm not kidding. I asked the sales girl if this was a joke and she just laughed and said, 'I know.' signs like that all over the store. Why, if I had had a basket I'll bet I could have saved five or six dollars!

I also love how HSN does shipping/handling charges. For instance, if you buy more than one item in a show, you only pay shipping on the first item - everything else you order is shipped free. This is not an every day thing, just on certain shows. Or, if they have a Beauty Day - you're only charged shipping on the first item you order in a 24-hour period. How cool is that? I'm an ordering fool when they do that.

Agreed. I shopped a bit yesterday but did not buy the one pair of pants I was considering.

HAHAha! I agree. I got some sports waterproof snow boots .Here in southern NC we rarely need them but when we do I am miserable with clunky rubber ones. No more! Love sporto.

I didn't order anything yesterday but some of the markdowns were unbelievably good.

I thought about the Joan Boyce pajamas but the reviews were all over the place regarding the sizing. Some were saying they ran huge, some were saying they ran tight so I just passed.

I did some damage yesterday too. Bought 2 A by adrienne Landau pieces, 2 pair of Vince Camuto boots, yummie leggings and a pair of Hot in hollywood jeans. 3 out of the 6 were on my wish list and I kept looking for the prices to fall. I am excited!
