An Epiphany at JCPenny

I have a confession to make: I have been a clothes shopping snob. But what happened today may have changed me forever.

I'm not opposed to buying clothes at Salvation Army or Goodwill. But for some reason I have had a serious objection to buying clothes at JCPenny or Sears. No idea why - I just have.

Enter: my new job. My boss always looks super sharp. I often ask him where he got his shirt/tie/suit/whatever. His answer? Usually JCPenny. Say what?? I would have guessed Nordstroms. Or Brooks Brothers. Or...something not JCPenny.

My husband is starting his career in the financial services industry. He has a few good dress clothes, but can use a few a more. My boss wanted to stop at JCPenny today, and of course I never say no to shopping! What I found AMAZED me.

I got all this for $20.99.





Yep - that's 2 shirts and five ties. For $20.99.

The white shirt was the most expensive purchase of the day at $11.15, down from $42.00. But my husband could really use a new white shirt so there you go. It only gets better from here.

That purple shirt? Not all guys could pull it off, but my husband can! It was only $1.97!

And those ties? $1.30 each, down from $36.00/ea. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??? What's that? You want to see a close up? My pleasure! :)


Aren't they beautiful? The blue paisley one is my favorite. What's yours?

This is pretty beautiful too...my receipt!




Yes, that's right - "Your Total Savings Today: $237.38"

AMAZING.

I have seen the light. :)

  4. The fourth tie down the blue one with green squares, I bought for my son at JC Pennys for $18.00 a couple of months ago. It was a good deal at that price an amazing one for what you paid. Well done!!

    I didn't realize you had a new job, you aren't doing the law thing now? What are you doing instead if you don't mind me asking?
