Monday 30th April - Today we spent the day shopping at the Disney outlets and the nike store and a whole bunch of other shops.... My card hasn't maxed out yet so I guess that's a good thing
We brought some aluminium bottles of coke, sprite and diet coke
And upon re reading this post to see if I had talked about my excellent score in Marshall's I have discovered that the entire post is missing... I could cry.
Lets see if I can recap...
Hit heaps of outlets and got a whole bunch of disney shirts, we also found this great shop called Marshall's which gets stock delivered twice a week and its all brand name stuff 9 west, guess, Ralph Lauren etc. They mark everything down to really stupidly cheap prices, but you need to dig throug racks to find the good stuff.
So in my digging I turned up some pretty good stuff, including the most comfortable jeans I have worn in my life, besides my jag jeans. I scored these things for $15 and after wearing them I went in search of where I can buy them normally. I discovered that thes things retail from $100 - $200 a pop.. well there goes that idea, and then i was trying fancy google searches for outlet and discontinued styles and ended up sticking in the code from the jeans to find that Macy's online had them as clearance, although they were $70 a pop and they were having 10% off.
So I tried ordering them but the stupid online store had one price for Americans, which required a CC that had an American billing address, so It wouldnt let me order it unless I used the Aussie based version, which didnt have the discount and was more expensive and then needed international posting, becuase it would only send to home...
So I had a chat with the Macy's chick online and she gave me the name of two stores close that had 2 pairs in stock... Great, but it was late by this point so I put it down to go another day.
Now back to the original day of shopping. We hit up the nike factory outlets and Nando had a field day ever pair of shoe that he found was $30... on the clearance shelf, my foot on the other hand is a common size 10 over here which means the clearance section is slim pickings, but the full priced stuff was cheap compared to home $40 - $99. They were also having an additional 20% off so we grabbed a bunch of clearance track pants for $9 a pop and a bunch of shirts, socks and shorts.
Next I stumbled across a skechers outlet. Now I have never been into a sketchers shop as they have always been expensive, but I know a lot of girls from EB rave about them and how cheap they are in the states. So we poped in there and had a look they had some nice shoes, average price, then there is the clearance section up the back and there were a tonn of shoes in my big foot size, so scouring for ones that I think are cute and trying them on and then a woman told me that she was told to take an extra 30% off the lowest ticketed price... Sweet. I poped down to check this with sales guy and he confirmed it, so $1000 worth of shoes later for $200 ish I was happy...
We also found a little shop that sold legal tender $1.00 notes but instead of the normal dude on it you can have Darth Vada, Michael Jackson, Stewy from family guys etc. So we got a Darth Vada one, and a couple of bumper stickers.
There are a tonne of shops with mad slogan shirts, we brought a few and took pics of some of the other ones.
