The Basement of the Bargains

Tax rebate checks are winging their ways across the country. On average, single Americans will be receiving $600.00 in order to stimulate the economy. President Bush has said that saving that money won’t help, nor will paying down debts. Therefore, I’m here to help us all do our patriotic duty to find a good way to spend this windfall. Of course, I believe firmly that just because we’re stimulating the economy doesn’t mean we can’t do so through finding good deals.

So how do you spend $600.00 and still save? I thought you’d never ask.

Are you looking for fun, fabulous, warm weather sleepwear? Then it’s time to go over to Sleepyheads.com and check out their sale section. Yes, they’re blowing out some superfantastic flannels, but they also have some wonderful goodies for the warmer weather at a bargain price. For instance, these deliciously kitschy Frankie and Johnny cotton lawn capri pjs are on sale for just $55.00, down from the original $78.00.

They look smart and express a sense of humor, but will also keep you cool and breezy on those hot summer nights.

Oh, and to sweeten the deal, if you enter the code ‘warehousesale’ at checkout, you can save another 15% off the sale price! Now that’s what I call a great deal.

As the days get warmer and warmer (no, really, it is happening in fits and spurts), we’re all going to want clothes that will help us beat the heat and keep our cool. Of course, we also want to look superfantastic while we keep cool. And that’s where the lovely sale rack at Saks Fifth Ave comes in.

This cool as a cucumber BCBGMAXAZRIA shadow striped 100% cotton voile blouse is just the thing to wear when the mercury rises as high as an elephant’s eye. It’s breezy and feminine without being fussy. The classic white will go with just about any color you like, and the style would be equally at home with pants, nice shorts or a skirt.

Best of all, it’s on one heck of a sale right now. Originally priced at $118.00, it’s now marked down to just $69.90. That’s nearly half off!

And while you’re on the site, keep in mind some of the other incredible deals they have going right now.

Going clubbing? If so, then a big, clunky purse is the last thing you need. All you really have to bring with you is your ID, the price of the cover charge and a couple drinks, maybe cabfare home. This is when a fun wristlet purse is perfect…like this cheerful BCBG Max Azria Mona purse now on sale at Saks Fifth Avenue.

It comes in your choice of Rose or Royal (a lucious, deep violet color), and has been marked down from $98.00 to just $38.90.

If you need more incentive, keep in mind that now through February 5, Saks is offering free standard shipping on orders of $150.00 or more. Just enter code VALENTINE when you’re checking out. That’s a deal well worth checking out!

There’s nothing I love more than a good deal, and Saks has an amazing one for today only. Head on over, find something you love, and then be sure to use code JANUARY8B at checkout to get free shipping and a gift card worth up to $450.oo to be used toward your next purchase! The more you spend, the higher the gift card. So, for instance, if you bought this flirty Marc Bouwer sequinned dress for $356.90 (regular price $595.00), you would get a $25.00 gift card you can use toward your next Saks purchase.

But if you bought this Akris double layer jacket for the list price of $3,290.00, you’d have spent more than enough to get that $450.00 gift card.

Or you could just go to the sale section and spend $3,000.00 there on a lot of different things and get the same $450.00 gift card. Your choice.
