Shopping successes

[EaglesKiwi]

Since the season is ramping up, I thought a new thread to share or celebrate shopping successes could be fun...

I hate clothes shopping, hate hate hate it. But have been looking online over the last couple of months, trying to find something I love. Went onto Sportscraft's (Aussie clothing chain) website yesterday, and almost managed to choose something, but had to go get ready for work instead. In the meantime the laptop battery died... so when I plugged it in this morning it brought up the same page. I hit "refresh" and - 30% of everything today only!

So I got everything I wanted (I'd been tossing up between a pretty floral shirt and a pair of capri pants & ended up getting both, plus 3 belts & a t-shirt - even the sale stuff had 30% off!). Went to check out, and the site deducted 10% sales tax since the order was being shipped out of the country - and since I'd spent over a $ value (cough cough) I got free shipping too.

I could get used to online shopping!

thats great.
I love a bargan.
I scored Rolling stones hoodies vintage at macys on sale for two hard to buy people on my list. Usually the last this year the frst.
oh what a feeling.

[EaglesKiwi]

Oh yes, I love feeling that you've "nailed" a gift for someone hard to buy for . Takes so much stress out of the season!

I must say, I find Amazon great for all those American cd's and DVDs that Laura wants! And if they don't deliver outside the US, there's always her fairy Godmother HH!

so now instead of "Black Friday"...it's turned into "Black Thursday"...saw on the news tonight...all the lines with the stores opening Thursday evening and even Thursday morning?...anyone out there into shopping on Thanksgiving?...

[EaglesKiwi]

Oh, that just sounds wrong!

[SallyGee]

I feel so sorry for the workers. I can't imagine going to work after that big dinner, and leaving your family. So wrong. And this year Thanksgiving was so early, there is plenty of time to shop!

I agree, it's really ridiculous! Sure glad I don't work in retail anymore! And I feel sorry for those that do, but I guess somebody's gotta do it.

Remember when there were no stores open on Sunday? Loooong time ago!

I'm polishing my wings and magic wand!
