Frenzy does not begin to describe it! I got to our mall at 10:40 and the salesgirl was one I've known for years now. I felt so bad for her, she was there all alone and people were just crazy. There was a wicked line with women trying to take others' items when they sat them down on the counter while waiting. One lady came in about 10 minutes after I got there and literally emptied two entire racks of all the sale items left - all sizes, all styles. In fact, she even took all the shoes too when she realized the buckets on the counter held sale shoes. I felt really sad for those just coming in as this woman not only took everything reduced in sight but held up the line forever getting PAs too!
Of course, since she'd grabbed the flipflops in DD8's size sitting with my items and refused to part with them, I just HAD to go to the next nearest mall and find a pair. As I left the store and walked thru Penny's to the car another lady with a kercheif on her head who'd been in gymbo actually RAN past me to beat me up the beltway. Well, we couldn't have that so I picked up the pace and the race was on!
Luck was with me, I got the flipflops in both yellow and pink plus found the little yellow dress shoes, snowpants, two summer dresses, a valentines watch, two pairs of jeans, and another half a dozen shirts. I saw the kercheif lady there too but she must have parked on the wrong end cause I made it into the store before her. Whew...
$76 and three hours after first reading about the reductions I had two huge bags of 1.99 stuff sitting next to me in the van and an even bigger smile on my face. Nothing we absolutely needed but all stuff DD8 will definitely be happy wearing.
I really have to stop reading these threads though, you guys have become my budget busters...
