Retailers Are The Greatest Way to Purchase
Tuesday, 7. July 2009
TJ Maxx is one of my wife’s favorite past time. What happens is that major brands often manufacture too many pieces of clothes and TJ Maxx would buy the leftovers in bulk at a really cheap price and then resell it to us at a good price. The savings are actually very good if you don’t mind waiting a bit for the latest model to be sold.
Nordstorm is an awesome department store. The stuff there are pretty high end but not outrages like other stores. What’s funny though is that depending on where the department store is located in, the merchandise that’s for sale is different. This is to get more sales depending on the demographics of course, so pretty smart move there.
Sak’s Fifth Avenue is ultra high end. It’s got Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Armani, you name it, they have it. The layout of the retailer is often a little weird but hey, it doesn’t matter if they are making money right?
Robinson’s May used to be my favorite department store because my boss would give us all gift certificates every December during Christmas time. After it went under and bought by Macy’s though, that has become my new favorite since I have so many gift cards that I have to use.
Sears doesn’t really specialize in anything but it sells many power tools and home appliances. In fact, they have this blue crew thing that will help you install and maintain your home appliances. It’s really neat and if you are looking to buy a fridge or a washer and dryer, give them serious consideration.
Target is actually a discount store but it tries to brand itself with nicer looking interiors. It’s certainly better looking than Walmart but when you think of cheap, you don’t go to Target even though the products there are sometimes the cheapest.
Neiman Marcus is not really in many places but those who are rich know this department store inside out. Be careful if you shop there though because they don’t accept Mastercard and Visa. So unless you have American Express or a wad of cash, forget this department store.
JC Penny is now the queen of everyday department store after Robinson’s May went under. This department store doesn’t have the glamorous look that others do but whenever you walk in, you find great savings because everything is so inexpensive.
