You have to be pretty lucky to get those deals at Dillards, looks like it was 50% off + 40% off clearance. At my store you need to be there and wait in a line for the store to open and fight the mob, if not everything is cleared out 30 minutes after opening. I also once saw an SA, prior to a previous 40% off clearance sale, put aside 6 bags for an Asian gentlemen who she said was a "great customer who spent a lot of money on gifts to take back home" The OP phoxxy had luck on her side to score the deal of the year at Dillards. Though their prices are good on paper, to use the diet program disclaimer "results are not typical" :smile1:


I have to agree, I spoke with a SA at my local store and she said, it's gotten so bad that they have to have the police there during the sales and they have a limit of 5bags. She said it gets dangerous. So I think she is lucky too.
 
Way to go, phoxxy! Do you even remember your walk to the car? I love a good mind-blower of a deal!

I think what CforC means when she says typical is that markdowns like this are typical. Getting access to them can take work, time and does involve luck. In CforC's case, 90% of it is persistence. She calls, she builds relationships and when those typical markdowns happen, they come her way because she took the time, built the relationship and people remember her.

Thanks and yes very typical for ME!. This can be "typical" for anyone who "wants" any item cheaper!
