Labor Day weekend is upon us, and bargain hunters know that clothing clearances are in full swing. Some of my readers have been scouting the clothing deals, as many stores are offering coupons to drop good sale prices even further. We found some great bargains tonight around town! This is a great time of year to buy clothing for next summer too.
I first ran into Walmart (Huntley) and spotted bunches of clearance racks near the front of the store. They had boys’ two-piece cotton shorts and tank top sets for $3! That’s right in my “buy” range of around $2 per item when you consider these were two-piece sets. And, hey, when you find something you like, there’s nothing wrong with buying multiples of it (a tip that even great rock stars utilize. Like it? Buy more than one!) So, I picked up a few in different sizes and styles.
Then it was off to Sears (Crystal Lake). Last week, our family had gone shopping when Sears was having their “Spend $50, Get $10 in Come-Back Cash” sale. We had $20 in Come-Back Cash to spend from last week, and Sears also has a coupon in their flyer for 15% off any purchase through Tuesday. So, we let our daughter look for some things for herself. I spotted a bargain-priced pair of shorts for my son too…
Boys’ denim shorts – $2.09
Juniors tube top – $5.59
Juniors tank top – $3.49
Juniors shorts – $3.49
Juniors shorts – $3.49
Total: $18.15
Minus 15% off coupon ($2.72) – $15.43
Minus $10 Come-Back Cash
Final total: $8.15 (or, $1.63 per item!)
Then I headed to the baby department, where there were bargains galore! I picked up some adorable baby clothes at great prices. I haven’t mentioned this, but there’s going to be a new baby in our lives in just a few months! My beautiful sister and her husband are having a little girl, which means yours truly will be an aunt for the first time. I wanted to share what I found for their baby! (Sure, it may spoil the surprise a little bit, because they read this blog too, but trust me — she appreciates a good bargain just as much as I do! And, these gifts will still be a surprise… to the baby.)
2-pack Winnie the Pooh infant gowns – $4.19
Yellow floral dress and shorts – $2.09
Carters animal safari creeper – $2.44
Carters butterfly creeper – $2.79
Pink butterfly camo tank top – $1.39
Pink butterfly camo shorts – $1.74
Purple floral top – $1.74
Denim shorts – $1.39
Blue floral dress – $1.74
Paradise tank top – $1.39
Print knit shorts – $1.74
Total: $22.64
Minus 15% off coupon ($3.40) – $19.24
Minus $10 Come-Back Cash
Final total: $9.24 (or, .71 per item!)
Are you out Labor Day shopping this weekend? What have you found, and where? My sister reported 80% off clearance sales at Carson Pirie Scott, and I know Macy’s is also running a 15% off clearance coupon in the newspaper and on their site.

Went to Macys sale today and found my two boys suits. They are Nautica from $145 they were $12.99. I went to the Skokie store. There were about 5 of them in different sizes. I just hope they fit. I would hate to return them.

My son does not like anything I pick out for him anymore. He’s 13 years old and well…apparently what i think is fashionable is “lame” with him.

Did you notice if they had clearance clothes for younger girls at the Walmart in Huntley??

I sent “bts” to 266866 to enter a contest. I was happily surprised to get a message back with a $ 20 off a $ 50 purchase at Carsons! You can use it over and over!! Boy, did I have a blast in the boys department. $14 t-shirts marked down to $1.80 THEN take $20 off $ 50 what fun :) all you have to do is show the cashier yiur text message. happy shopping!

My jaw dropped when I read, “I haven’t mentioned this, but there’s going to be a new baby in our lives in just a few months!” Then I kept reading ;).
I wish your sister and brother-in-law all the best in enjoying their last few months “alone” together and then their new bundle of love.

Found on frugallivingnw.com:
Macy’s is having a sale this weekend: Buy any denim item in the store, Get a $10 coupon good on any $10 or more purchase in the store. This offer cannot be combined with any other savings pass, coupon or discount. Here’s how to work the deal:
Go to the children’s department. They have denim shorts on clearance for $2.98. Use your Macy’s card or the 15% off WOW pass in this week’s ad and pay only $2.53 for the item and get a $10 coupon. I bought four pairs of clearance shorts and got four $10 coupons.
I did this deal 7 times and worked like a charm. A lucky charm:)
