So instead of heading down to Hollywood, we decided a more laid back day would be good. Get some rest and not stress. We head up to the Thousand Oaks mall about noon after a brunch with friends and it's now 5:20p and still here. Not that it's a bad thing, but I never knew we'd be here this long. I guess this is where all those advertising dollars are going.
Another interesting thing is how 'discounted' things can be and retailers still make profit after paying for labor and rent and utilities plus some room left for profitability. Take my experience today for example. I head over to Express and picked up a couple shirts. 3 for 29.50 ea instead of 49.50 like normal. Good deal and I was happy. I like their stuff because I think they do make a superior product and they have good designers. Then it's off to Macy's to spend some gift card money. I bought 11 dress shirts and 3 ties for $246 after it being discounted $395 between an 11% coupon I received from guest services while checking my gift card balance & the hefty discount storewide on top of the department/item discounts.
Just crazy how overpriced stuff is non-sale and how selling the sale makes all the difference these days...
Well, off to another store for the girls. Maybe a movie soon...
