Retail sales in fell 2 percent in August, which some people say is a good thing because the decline is smaller than in past months. Sales dropped at Target (3 percent), Abercrombie & Firtch (29 percent), and American Eagle (7 percent).
Sales increased at Old Navy (4 percent), TJ Maxx (5 percent), and Aeropostale (9 percent). Folks are hoping this means back to school sales will be strong this weekend.
I plan to do a bit of shopping this weekend for the $50 fashion challenge against SDBargainMama. Also, I’ve got a gift certificate at J.Crew to spend!

Welcome to Bargain Babe! I’m Mara, and I’m so glad you’re here. I am an obsessive bargain hunter and penny pincher, and I am determined to live a full life without EVER paying full price. 
Has anyone noticed how the car dealers (at least Toyota) have jacked their prices up by about $3000 since the CARS program has ended? Guess they are all fat ‘n happy now. Those high prices are sure to keep customers away.
On another note, there aren’t any Labor Day “sales” worth going to. Guess they would rather complain about lack of sales than making an effort to get sales.
Lucky me gets even more savings! Many businesses give people with military i.d.s even more discount! Gotta love labor day!
Hello , it’s Labor Day! I’m happy with my extra day off, and I am planning to doing something fun that will probably involve a bike ride and seeing something new in Bartow I haven’t seen yet.
You write new post on a Monday at the labor day? … HapPY BloGgiNg!
I found one good sale… You can get an additional 20% off clearance items at Chadwicks.com using the code on their website (chlaborday20). And their s/h is also $2 cheaper right now.
