    We went this morning and they didn’t have much that we were interested in. It was super busy though.

      I got online at midnight and there wasn’t much there, either. There’s usually a lot of stuff I want. :/

      • BlueWaterGirl

        I don’t have their credit card so I lose the chance to shop early. Makes me want to get one though. I added stuff to my cart 2 days ago and I watched as everything disappeared one item at a time from card holders who could start 4 hours early.

    Usually it’s my favorite sale of the year, but this time, just not much selection. Even when I checked at midnight

      Coz they do after Christmas Sale now so this is just left overs.

    If you are looking for Junior’s sized dresses for a summer wedding, formal, or even for next year’s Christmas/New Year’s parties….WOW!!! Tons of options…I sorted by price (low to high) and the first 3 pages (probably 300 or so dresses) were all at $12-13 or below.

  4. MJ

    Every year I wish I was a cardholder, I had a bunch of things in my cart, but by the time the sale started fir regular shoppers everything was gone. Do they do a late February sale too? Might try the local store, is the sale longer than one day in store? Thanks for posting!

    • whatacutielife

      They do almost every month.

    • BlueWaterGirl

      Same!!!

    I have their card and the boots I put in my cart were gone before I finished looking. I believe that their stock was very limited and I was so unimpressed when you onlinebine that with their return policy.

  6. Dana

    Honestly I thought it was just our area that had lowish stock due to 2 hurricanes onlineing through this year(we even went to one over an hour away this morning) but apparently it’s pretty widespread. And yeah. No return on today’s sales so you have to really be sure
