My Macys will have bags on sale for 25% off, and then mark them down another 25% (but its not 50% off, its 25% off of the first sale price), thats how my mom got her cashmere bowler. You just have to pick up the right bag, we didn't know it was marked down more until it was scanned at the register.
And mine had the Scribble hobo a few weeks ago, maybe yours will have it!
