She waits until the majority of her items are sold and then moves the rest out - on sale - to make room for newer merchandise.

I do love boutiques, but they are more pricey than the department stores in the mall.

The stuff at Kohl's is junk, but you can find a few name brands. I love Macy's!!! It was my store of choice when I worked in downtown Houston. Always dropped in on my lunch hour. Of course, it was Foleys then.

Me too! But I love Dillard's 75% off sales-thats what I look forward to.

I have a hard time buying the clothing from some places because of the poor quality you mention-so when I go to TJMaxx & Marshall's I look for a familiar name that better made.

I just look at it as having been sacrificed to idols.

Now what I may really be craving either tomorrow night or Christmas day (this is December 25th for those of you who refuse to celebrate), is the Tour of Italy meal at the Olive Garden.

My husband's mother was a terrible cook! They said they knew when it was time to eat when they heard the smoke alarm go off!

Chicken Alfredo Pizza - Olive Garden!
