Yesterday , i went to the mall with the intention to scout for some shirts or blouses. I always like it to be shopping alone, because i will have a lot of free time for myself to look and fit those shirts and blouses. Thus, i fitted a lot of shirts and blouses but ended up buying nothing, because i know that on Wednesday until Friday, they will be having a sale. I asked the saleslady if the blouses will be discounted and she said only 10%. But a 10% would be big enough when accumulated for 2 or 3 blouses , right guys? So, i will just wait for Wednesday, when they have their sale.

umh...if you really like one, you can buy one...don't need to buy 2-3 at the same time... If they have their sale soon then you can wait till there...but make sure that you should go to there early to buy it because there are many hunters like you too...

Oh i am making sure of that my friend. I have already set the alarm of my cellphone for that. In fact, i have already requested the saleslady to reserve for me the blouse that fits me well. And she did & will be waiting for me tomorrow.

Well, at the moment i postponed my going to the mall to after lunch. Anyway, i have reserved the blouse that i like to buy. At any rate, the buyers am sure are all after the school supplies. Their budget is for that so the clothing area might not have many purchasers.

Hi Simplyd ,you are right.A penny saved is a penny earned.I prefer to buying shoes rather than buying shirts.I like all kinds of shoes....I usually go shopping by weekends as many stores will promotion. Wish you have nice shopping day!

Thank you my friend. I do like to buy shoes, however i think my shoes are already enough to suit my clothes. I prefer to buy clothes because mine are already faded, meaning they have served me well already . And i am happy that this sale is so timing to the release of our half of the 13th month. I thank God for it.

Definitely, it will be the best choice to go and do some shopping when there is a sale on. Because we can get to buy so many things at a very cheap rate. But here, whenever I go shopping during a sale, I find no good clothes, just all the same old pieces. My brother told me that during a sale, the shops hang up all the old pieces of clothes which they had stored! But sometimes, it even depends on luck. A very few times, I have managed to get one or two good dresses during the sale. But most of the time, I've returned home with my hand empty and disappointed. So, anyways, hope you have a great time shopping and bag up many dresses! :)

Oh, well that's great! Even I'll try asking the salesmen there in the mall if they can reserve a few dresses for me for me to buy when there is a sale. Hope they do agree! :D

Maybe i was able to do that, because we are in the province where buyers are not that numerous.

Well, that is also the reason why i went to the mall, to be able to check on the sale day, if they will be selling the same items with discounts. For more than twice, i have asked a blouse to be reserved for me on the sale day. And the sales lady did. I was so happy when i was able to buy them with discounts already! I really hope my friend, that i could buy nice shirts and blouses and some items for hubby too.

Wow! That is great. There are sale on Wednesday to Friday every week? It will be good if we have the same thing here. We don't have such weekly sale like what you have. If only we have the same thing we will surely wait for the days to come to do some shopping!!(^^)

Oh I see~ I thought they have sales every week.(^^) That will be great if they do that. Good for the shoppers to have things to buy every week. Here if they got sales for school opening they will only have discounts for school things. They are not going to have many casual attires to be shown. Not a good day for the people who seek for a new clothes except for parents who have kids.(^^)

Here they always have it mall wide, Although it will only be for 10% for branded wears. But i saw some of 50% on hangers on one side of the store. I tried looking for something to buy, but the colors turned me off. They were not of the colors that i like.

No, the sale is only from May 30 - June 04. It's a school opening sale. I went there after lunch and there were no numerous people specially in the clothes section. I guess, mostly are in the school supplies section, because they are what is budgeted by the parents. Thus, i had a nice time fitting and choosing what i am to buy! I am really happy i was able to buy new clothes for me when i go back to work.

I have to say that it is really a smart way for you to buy clothes.For some people who just rush into buying when they frist had a crush on the clothes.Honestly,i will exactly do the same and just waiting,it's really a bargin and cheap.I can use the money to buy others,isn't it?
@SIMPLYD (90722)

Correct my friend. What is 3 days of waiting for a discount that could be accumulated once you have bought two or more on sale? I feel so triumphant and practical, whenever i was able to buy something on discount and it will be of use to me for a long time.

I'd feel cheated if I bought something full price then find out they are on sale few days later... The sales lady was nice enough to let you know they'll be discounted. Just make sure you come back early enough when they start the sale so you don't miss out on the blouses you want...

You know what, i requested the saleslady to reserve my size, and she did. Actually before, i experienced buying 2 days ahead of a sale, an electric fan. It could have been that had i bought two days later, i could get the 200 plus discount. But it was badly needed since our electric fan already broke down.

Yeah, the saleslady was so nice that she leaked information to you and promised to reserve your size as well. Or you would be stuck in a embarrassed situation"You can't have your cake and eat it too".But if you were not lucky enough to meet such a good person, you could write down what you had selected and checked them online. In most cases, you could buy your ideal products with a relatively low price.

I don't like anymore to buy online. I prefer that i can see and feel the material and fit them right there and there. I know that the saleslady will do that, because i have done it already for at least 2 times. I think they know me by face already, addict for sale.

hello D, Yes, and sometimes on the last day they will go down to 50% less. So, better to wait for the sale. Here in the city, malls are starting their "back to school sale" and malls are a bit crowded during this season :)
@SIMPLYD (90722)

Yes, jaiho it's a back to school sale actually. So in those shirts and blouses of quality, they have a minimum of 10% discount only, but at least you get a discount. That's something to buy a snack.

I love sales myself, but sadly I cannot afford to buy anything. I am hoping that my husband will get disabilty soon so we can catch up on bills and pay off some of our old debts so we can save up for a house. I want to get section 8 housing so we can move out of my parents home. It has been rough. I am saving my money in paypal so I can take randy to a dodger's game in early August. I am hoping that if I keep working at it I should be able to save enough money.

Well, my friend if i also have no enough money, i won't buy on sale. Maybe if what are on sale are things that are needed to sustain my family, only then will i buy. Luckily though, we were give half of our 13th month pay a week ago, so i saved some for new blouses, because mine were already a bit faded. Yeah my friend, just keep on working at it so you could be able to save enough money. But meantime, let go of sale and just focus on the needed things only.

Well, I would say that your decision to wait until Wednesday, when the same shirts you can buy with a 10% discount, it's a good idea. In moments of crisis like this, where virtually all the world is going through, a few euros or in your case, dollar saved, is definitely not wrong. I also when I am in circumstances to live independently, I always buy cheap and, for the fact I'm also expecting to "one euro too." Your right

Thanks my friend for agreeing with me. A discount when accumulated with other purchase could become big. But big or not, i like having to buy with discounts!

Yeah waiting for the sale day is the right option but one thing should be taken into consideration that if you like an outfit and you decide to purchase it on the sale day then there are chances that you might loose that outfit.. So its better to take the right decision regarding the purchase of the outfits..!

Actually, i have reserved a blouse i very much liked. The sales lady did have it tucked away for me. She was so kind indeed. I guess, i have a kind face also.

what about the cost of visiting the shop again? will it not be more than 10% discount!
@SIMPLYD (90722)
• Philippines
29 May 12
Nope, because it's just near our place. Besides, if i buy 3 or more, it will be at least already 30%.

I would definitely wait for the sale, if of course... I lived closer to my mall. Did you ask them if they do price adjustments?

Actually, after having fit some blouses, i asked the sales lady if these blouses will also be participating in the sale. And when she said yes, i was so happy and told her to reserve for me a blouse i so liked. And she did had it folded at the most bottom part of the set of clothes.

Big bargain watch out , it a great saving if done  - Don be too greedy and selfish end up wasting money.
Yes personally i also like to wait for big sales which are often , at the last week and 1st week of the months, fast moving products will be cheaper like soap powder, milk , veges, and others stuffs will be on.Purchase with purchase will be great bargain too. However , only make sure u get what u want and not waste money. Sometime using membership card and credit card got cash back rewards which is good.
@SIMPLYD (90722)

Yes, for those type of products, it's really a nice treat if you bought them on sale, like buy one take one. Though sometimes our tendency is to buy even when it's not needed yet. We just seem to catch up the sale, that's why.

Women shopping! I noticed that guys would not really have that patience to wait for just a 10% discount. Well they're not like us. Every single centavo matters to us! Happy Shopping D!

Yes, Toni. Guys tend not to have the patience to wait for just a 10% discount. Besides, they don't like to be pushing through a throng of people , most of all lining up to pay for their purchases. But us women, of course we can for the sake of the big discounts.

That is a very wise idea! :) Of course, 10% would be a very big help than paying the whole prize. What am I saying? hahaha. Nowadays, we all should be practical. Waiting for a sale is really a good idea!

Practical, yes that's how we should always be, my friend. And a sale is an opportunity to be practical. Provided that you need your purchases.

Hi there SIMPLYD, Well i do believe that a sale is the best time to buy stuff since everything would be much much cheaper and are still branded and with great quality so anytime there is a sale i jump right in to buy something may it be as small as underwear or as big as air-conditioning not that i have bought an air-con before but that is the idea, buy something, happy shopping and lotting.

I enjoy shopping specially on sale indeed deo! Things that you have seen to be of this price before drops to a much cheaper price. And having bough yourself that would be a triumph by itself, because you can buy the savings with other cheaper items.

Hello SIMPLYD, it is indeed a great idea to wait for the sale before purchasing the items you want. 10% is a big discount already especially if you are planning to purchase several items. You just inspired me to check on some mall's sale before I do my shopping. Thanks for the tip.
@SIMPLYD (90722)

Yes, it will be worth the wait, the discounts on this forthcoming sale. I have already seen some items i want to buy specially blouses. I will make sure that i will go there first thing in the morning, now that i am on vacation.
