A total disappointment - 30% off tops.

Really?  After almost two weeks of 30% off everything purchased and during this past week 40% off one item (or really more than one since you could print off coupons for it and order one online as well as going to stores with the 40% off).

 

Well good. The current "deal" saves me money.

Well, you know they will just rotate through various items at 25-30% off now for a while. I'm not sure what else they would do. I am a buyer at 30% off if there's something I like or want to try (I order most everything), and if it's only on one class of items (tops, dresses, etc.), I just wait for the one I want!  Smiley Happy (I usually wait for 40% or clearance for more expensive items, though.) Something good will come along again soon, and then it will be happy shopping!

I'm also a buyer at 30% off.  To be honest, I'm a buyer with a lesser percentage off also. 

 

I'm a quick shopper though and have a short attention span.  I browse the new arrivals every few days. If I'm interested I buy, if not, I'm ready for more new arrivals. Very rarely do I buy anything that's been out a month or two. 

 

The current 30% doesn't interest me because we've had several reductions lately. I'm all shopped out till a new arrival comes that I'm interested in. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Just got an email from Talbots. 40% off one item tomorrow (Thursday).

What did you expect after the 30% and 40% sales?  I didn't expect anything. I spent about $300 on the 30 and 40 off sales so I am done for awhile.  Got some new spring and summer items to freshen up my wardrobe along with a few items from the Q. I am done now until the summer clearance which usually tempts me.

@gidgetgh  I haven't gotten that yet, but I'd better!  Smiley Happy

 

@Catch71 What was I expecting?  At least more things on sale than tops for Mother's Day weekend.  Or the 40% off that gidgetgh got and I'd better get too!  That would lure me back to the store!

@Pearlee -and others. It's 40% off one regularly priced item. No code needed.

@gidgetgh  Cool!  Thanks.   That means I can go store-hopping again (if I want to, which I don't).

@gidgetgh  Whoooohooo. Just got the email, and it's over several days.  Now that is a better deal for Mother's Day weekend.

 

Reading the fine print:   40% off any one Regular-Priced Item. Valid 5/11/17 - 5/14/17.

Just got the email too.  When the 40% off one item is good for several days, you can use it once a day for each day of the sale if you shop online.  I guess that would work in the stores too.  I shop there so much I get free shipping so I usually shop online.  Have fun ladies.  

Also, have you ladies tried the skimmers?  If you don't like shorts these are perfect, for me at 5'1" they come right below the kneecap - I bought them in 2 colors and now may go back for one more!
