The Basement of the Bargains

If you’ve been looking at your old wallet thinking it’s seen considerably better days, now might be a good time to head on over to Bluefly.com and take a look at this handsome, practical, yet fun Cole Haan travel wallet.

The Nude (beige) coloring is always tasteful, and that embroidered feather will bring a smile to many a face.

The bi-fold interior includes room for all your necessities with its double billfold, snap coin pocket, two card slots and an ID window for when you need to flash your face at Security…or a store clerk asks for photo ID to make sure it’s really you using your credit card. And when you’re done with your shopping, it zips securely and slips easily into even quite a compact handbag, seeing as it measures just 5″ x 4″ when closed.

So how much is this baby? Well, the retail value is $135.00. Bluefly usually carries it for $81.00, which is quite good. Right now, though, they’ve got it on a further sale so you pay just $67.99! Just stick your savings in the double billfold and the snap coin purse and go. Oh, and send me a postcard when you get there. You can afford it.

Regular readers of this space are familiar with the name YOOX. After all, they discount designer fashions and accessories every day of the year. That means when they decide to blow things out, you’re getting them at an incredible deal you’ll never find anywhere else.

Well, right now they’re having a huge sale. If you act now, you can save up to 90% off their already insanely low prices. You’ll have to hurry, though, because the sale ends on the 19th.
This fun yet elegant Emilio Pucci leather wallet features the signature splashy, colorful print typical of the line. It also has a practical snap closure and internal coin pocket. When you pull this baby out of your purse, those in the know will be very sure who designed it, and those not in the know will probably still get a smile from the cheerful colors and exuberant lines.

How much did it cost originally? YOOX isn’t telling. But YOOX was selling it for $301.00. For a limited time, though, they’re selling it for just $150.00. That’s half off the low, low YOOX price! If I were you, I’d get my skates on!

It’s Leap…day? I’m not certain there’s an agreed-upon name for it, but it’s February 29th, a day that only appears once every four years. That’s great news if you’re looking for extra way to save money, because retailers like to celebrate this day more than anyone who wasn’t born on it.

Let’s take a quick look at some of the extra-special savings available just for today.

Bluefly.com is having a big one-day blowout on literally hundreds - possibly thousands - of designer clothes and accessories. They’re taking as much as 65% off the regular prices and including free shipping.

The biggest problem with buying a fine leather wallet is that the pricetag often leaves little money to stow, negating the purpose of a wallet in the first place. Luckily, a good sale can take care of that problem.

For instance, this handsome brown leather men’s wallet by Borsolino is usually priced at $95.00 at Hartford York. Right now, though, it’s on sale for a thrifty $35.00. By my calculations, that leaves you $60.00 to fill it properly.
