We all love a great deal, otherwise you wouldn’t be hanging around reading a blog that promotes spending as little as possible to get the most you can out of life.  

I’ve never lived near a thrift store that had really good quality clothes, so buying things at a thrift store hasn’t ever really been an option for my family.  I’ve always settled for buying things as cheap as I can find it brand new.  I know a lot of you are in that same situation so I try to bring things like this to your attention when I can.

Anyway, a lot of people love to shop at Lands’ End for their quality merchandise and their extremely generous satisfaction guarantee. For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, the Lans’ End Satisfaction Guarantee reads, “If you’re not satisfied with any item, simply return it to us at any time for an exchange or refund of its purchase price.” 

However, for some of us, the normal day-t0-day prices of Lands’ End products are too costly to purchase brand new.  When you have growing kids, I would imagine shelling out $40 for a pair of pants isn’t often feasible.  I don’t shell out $40 for pants for ME!  I was thrilled to find the Lands’ End Outlet department, and I wasn’t sure if I was the last girl on Planet Earth to find it.  Just in case I’m not, I thought I’d share some of my finds with you!

Check out their shoe prices for the entire family, first of all!  They had shoes starting at just $3.99 in styles that are great for all seasons.   Lands’ End had some super cute sandals for the whole family super cheap.  Even the mens’ department, often neglected where sales are concerned, had good prices.  I think you’ll like what you see.

Almost everything in the Lands’ End Outlet is perfect condition, just Overstock.  They do have a section called Not Quite Perfect, where the merchandise has slight flaws like a bad hem or the size might be a little bit off.  Each item you click on in the NQP  section will tell you what the flaw is, and I spoke to a customer service rep who told me that most of the time the flaw was unnoticeable or could easily be repaired, but they have strict standards so they couldn’t sell it at full price.

Right now you can find some men’s regular basic polo shirts for $5.99, and it says there’s measuring and packaging faults.  Further reading leads me to believe that unless you’re a sewing afficianado you won’t notice any flaws.  Plus, their return policy stands for the NQP items as well. It stands for every item Lands’ End sells, so if you buy a NQP item at a huge discount and just can’t live with the flaws or fix them, you can return it.  We’re talking steep discounts here, not minor ones!

The other part of the Lands End Overstock I want to bring to your attention is the On the Counter section.  Each Saturday, limited quantities of clothing from the catalog is put out at very reduced prices.  Let me stress the limited quantities and ridiculously low prices.

On Monday, that same merchandise is reduced 25%.  On Wednesday, it’s reduced 50%.  Finallly, on Friday it’s marked down 75%.  Then on saturday anothe group of clothing is released.  Since todays prices are 50%, I can tell you that the On The Counter prices are good!  I saw ladies’ jeans under $12, and kids’ under $10. 

Those of you who have school-aged children might be interested in their school uniform section, because they have great basics really cheap.

I was really impressed by some of these prices, and I don’t shop a lot online.  I saw some things I really thought were good prices on things for one’s home, and prices for travel items like totes. 

This is not an affiliate post, nor is it a sponsored or paid post.   I saw a deal posted at Slick Deals,  but it wasn’t one I was crazy about.  But when I looked into it a little further I found things I really DID like, like those shoe prices.  I thought if I liked them somebody else might too. 

For Free Shipping use code PLUSH and PIN 7416 but hurry because that’s only good through 2/11!

If you start your shopping at Ebates, you’ll get 3% cash back on top of all those great deals!

Sears is holding their Family and Friends Night event tomorrow, December 6, in-store between the hours of 6-9 PM.  Online, you have until Monday, Decmber 7 at 4 AM CST to shop  You can save up to 15% in their various departments with limited exclusions. It’s funny, with all these department-store coupons that say limited exclusions I always have to ask what it is that I AM allowed to use the coupon on.  There seem to be more exclusions than not at most stores but the Sears event seems pretty cut and dry.

You can take this coupon in-store before 5PM tomorrow if you’re an early bird to score 15% on most items as well.

I used to love the time when my mom would get her new Sears Wish Book each year. It meant Christmas was near, and my parents have always made the holidays extremely special in our home. It’s still my favorite time of year, most of all of course because of the celebration of the birth of our Savior. The attention to detail my mom gives everything this time of year excites me and makes me feel so happy and cheerful all season long. She used to sit me down with her Sears Wish Book and a pen each year to circle what I wanted for Christmas that year, and I used to love looking at all the wonderful toys! My brother and I weren’t spoiled with every toy we ever wanted, but Christmas was just magical. The gifts weren’t the focal point of Christmas for me. It was the smell of my mom’s home (cinnamon and spice), the decorations both old (some decorations made by us) and new, and the Christmas music. Even the year-round Alvin and the Chipmunk CD my little brother listened to when he was a small child brings back happy memories!

I’m so sorry…I got caught up in my own memories for a minute. Have I lost you yet? Don’t go! There’s a goodie for you here!

Start your own Wish Book tradition with your children, and let them in on the fun they can have looking through the Wish Book every year. Request your 2009 Sears Wish Book today!
