How many of you have hit the "end of summer" clearance sales?

I hit some awesome sales at Peebles stores locally and got a bunch of great items at 60% off the final markdown price! Great brand name stuff that normally runs some big bucks for literally a few dollars! I picked up some carhart shorts for my son (carhart wears so well and khaki is something he has to have for school uniforms) for $20 a pair! That's a great price for carhart brand! I got him some Izod khaki pants too for about $30, the kind that has the stain resistant material. These are a bargain for us because he abuses his clothes sooooo much! I also picked up a couple shirts for me, not a single one over $8! Anyone else getting tons of end of summer clearance stuff?

Yes the sale is there and usually I would be buying stuff. But I am living on a frugal budget this year and I can't even do any of those anymore. I guess I will just have to wait for the next sales! Sounds like you have grabbed some really good bargains, good for you!

With a daughter that just started college I can relate to "budget living"!!! I think that's part of the reason I purchase the items on clearance because most anything can carry over to the next season if worn right.

NOt yet but I'm thinking I need to. :) I know what my size will be next summer after all. I've given up on doing so for the kids because it never seemed to fit in the right season.

Oh yeah--- great deals! And clearance- I love end~of~season clearance sales- I’m heading this weekend to pick up some goodies for my daughter- She is headed off to Florida with her dad : ( we have done a lot of school shopping- but I want to get some more shirts- I swear she is always losing them- and she is 10- Plus I like to get a couple of outfits as a surprise each year- I hope to find some great steals like you did!
