Please be careful with these so-called "clearance" prices. A "List Price" is not the actual "selling price"; it's just an overinflated ARV. I went through the pages and found that I got similar purchases for far less in price from such places as Fashion Bug, Kohl's, etc., with a sale and coupon (real wool and leather coats and jackets). For example, they have a hooded wool coat on clearance for $99.99. I got one on sale in Fashion Bug for $70.00 minus 40% from a coupon. ($42.00). The full/original price of this coat was $112.00 not $179.00 as their posted list price.

Even so... A $112.00 coat for $16.00 final cost is nothing to sneeze at.

???? No, no. I think you misread my message. "I" got a hooded wool coat for $42.00 that was originally $112.00 at Fashion Bug. They have one on clearance for $99.99 stating that it was originally $179.00, NOT on clearance for $16.00.

I think I might be misunderstanding you. I wasn't referring to Fashion Bug (although I have bought really nice coats for them for huge savings), but to the Target/Marshall clearance.

Even though they say the coats are ARV 199.00, 150.00 etc., I know that that is an inflated price. So, at that, even if the ARV is actually, say.... $100.00 (or even $80 or $50), the price I bought mine at (with the discount - cost $16.00, I still got a steal.

Just in case, keep an eye out on those in-store clearance deals. I've been able to beat those so-called clearance prices listed for Marshall Fields. I got winter coats for my two boys at Sears that were originally $60.00 to $80.00 for $12.00 each minus what I had a coupon for ($5.00 off of $20.00 or more). It really pays off to familiarize yourself with a store's price scheduling from full price to clearance price. In other words, whenever I'm in any store, I make a habit of checking around on the price of other merchandise that I may be able to use down the road when I happen to be in that department. I also try to get familiar when each store runs its big sales. At Kohl's, I was able to buy my two boys Lee's long-sleeved school uniform polo shirts for $1.86 and the Lee's slacks for $2.86 each. I guarantee you that you can almost find a better deal in-store than on the internet. You will find a lot of clearance items in-store that aren't available on-line for that same store. Plus, some companies allow the store managers some control on what they want to put on a clearance sale that won't appear on their on-line site and differ from store to store. That's why, if you've noticed, such posts as someone posting that they got a smoothie maker at Kohl's for $8.00+, but others couldn't find that deal being offered for that smoothie machine in their own local Kohl's. I rarely buy anything off of the internet, because I've been able to beat the prices in-store. I still go through all the deals posted here just in case, and sometimes I might find a real good deal, but most of the time I don't. The best deals posted here that I like are the printable in-store coupons (also registering online with a certain store, etc., may get you more coupons in email and snailmail for in-store use). I got a 30% off total order coupon for the Reebok outlet stores and got two pairs of sneakers for $17.00 each (one walking sneaker marked as $69.00 and one of the princess sneakers marked as $39.00--used in conjunction with a sale). It really pays to familiarize yourself with the pricing of merchandise. This way you get to know what stores sell their merchandise at a higher price than another store, who offers the best sales and clearance prices, and who runs sales more than another retailer.

That works great for most people, and I too have had some luck finding in store deals better than on-line. BUT, I don't have access to stores that everyone else does. In the town I live in (currently) there is 1 super wal-mart and 1 grocery store.

I have to drive more than an hour (and who can afford that these days) to get to a mall. So for some people these on-line deals really are worth it.

Just offering another opinion on the in store/online deals debate ....

PS ~ They do have some great deals, as does Kohls~a few weeks ago, I got my daughter a Columbia Sportswear Coat for $15.99

Great Deals to be had!
