Last year, I noticed that the time to shop for fall/winter clothing lines is after Christmas through the end of February since prices are dramatically reduced at that time. That is a time when I am typically low on money, so I don't always get to do all of the shopping that I would like to do. Since becoming more frugal and financially responsible back in June, I was able to make sure that I did have some money to shop now. :) I have wanted these Target flats since they first came out, but the price was never low enough for me. They are now 50% off, meaning they are $12.49 for leather flats! I decided to get both. I am not one of those people who refuse to have duplicates of things in their wardrobe. Rather, I find that duplicates can often be a very practical purchase. I walk around a lot when I am at the clinic, so practical shoes are a must for that environment.
I also got a tote bag marked down to $2.74 to use as part of a birthday gift for a friend. Target had free shipping on women's clearance on orders $25+. I also used a 10% off coupon code, which took care of the tax. Finally, I went through Ebates for 4% of my total purchase back. I paid $25 and some change for two pair of shoes and a tote bag (and I'll get ~$1 back through Ebates!). I'm almost done shopping for this season, but I would like to get some Ann Taylor cashmere if the price goes low enough for me. :P

Great shopping!
Let me know if the prices get really low on Ann Taylor, I would love some cashmere too. A few years ago I was in there the first week of February and all the clearance was 50% off the marked down price. I have not happened on such a good deal since then (although the sweater I am wearing right now is Ann Taylor cashmere, but it was $7 at Goodwill).
Happy New Year!
Thanks, Rebecca! I will definitely let you know if prices ever get low enough. Ann Taylor really has some lovely cashmere pieces this season. I am jealous of your thrift cashmere finds- I never can find any! ;)
