$1.97

I have a tenuous relationship with JC Penny's. I sometimes find nothing, sometimes many things. And the customer service/cashier peeps suck. But, they have a large selection of items and as I said, I sometimes hit paydirt.

Yesterday I went in to buy underwear. 99% of my underwear purchases come from Target, Walmart, Kohls or Macy's, so it was my first venture into JCP underwear. I like their bra selection, so I figured the undies would be fine. In reality? Not so much for what I was looking for. But that's ok, it wasn't dire. I decided to look at the sales racks. I found my favorite style of work pants in a new color for me (dark gray) at 50% off. Then I glanced through the "75% off or more" rack. I found two shirts that I liked (not loved) and they were in winter/spring transitional fabrics and colors. For $1.97 each, it was enough for me to buy them.

So, if you have a JCP and need some shirts that you'd like (not love), go check out their super duper sales racks.

Now, I need new athletic shoes, but my allowance won't stretch far this month with lots of social engagements. It'll have to wait until April.

I don't think I have shopped at JCP in at least three years. I think I picked up some sandals there once, a thing or two for Conner, and two Christmas ties for my boss and for Michael.

The only time I venture in there is when I'm walking through to get to the main mall.

Maybe I need to go have a looksie. I can totally do $1.97.

My JCP didn't have any clearance racks. *pout*

I'll buy curtains & housewares from JCP. Clothing, not so much.

I hit paydirt on Kohl's super-duper reduced racks quite often. I never go to Macy's - that's Tom's store!

I'm going to have to go on a big shopping trip this summer because I recently cleaned out my closet and drawers and pitched most of my clothes. I kept my suits and some skirts and some capris and tshirts here and there but for the most part, if I couldn't, or shouldn't, wear it anymore, it went.

It felt good at the time but I am a little nervous about what I'm going to wear.

I've recently become a Penney's fan. Mervyns (similar to Kohls) closed down. I keep receiving discounts and coupons from Penney's. Some of them are $10 off any purchase, so I go in and get something for $10-15, pay $0-5 and leave.

I just got a new pair of shoes. But I really could use some new bras. Maybe I'll head to JCP this weekend.

A need new bras too. Bad.

I'm down to four bras that I'll wear (I have another four-six that I don't really like), so that's next on my shopping list...along with athletic shoes.
