Several Memorial Day sales are continued through this week. Or, if they are over, only the advertising is changed, and the sales are still there (some even better).
Progressively, each week, we should see more and more markdowns. June 1 typically marks the official start of the Summer Sale Season for the large retailers. The smaller boutiques may not start marking down Summer until mid-July.
Specials and sales to consider this week include: Mini Boden 20% 3 day sale; LL Bean new Summer Markdowns (30 – 70% off); Pumpkin-Patch on-line Big Patch Sale – 60% off; Gymboree Memorial Day Sale continues; Garnet Hill $10 and under sale; Nordstrom Women & Children’s Sale; Strasburg Children’s Memorial Day Sale; Naartjie extra 30% off Sale; Talbots extra 25% off sale; and Gap’s new 4-in-1 shopping! Whew!

- Boden
- Coundown Sale! This is a new one for Boden: 20% off – days only! May 29 – May 30. Then, 15% off May 31st and June 1st, and 10% off June 2nd. I think this is Boden’s last push to clear out Summer merchandise before they start marking it down.

- Unless you watch the site daily, perhaps we were the first to notify you of the 7 pages of Kids Sale items under $10 last Thursday. I didn’t receive an official Email on the sale until Tuesday (after Memorial Day).
- There are still 5 or 6 pages of $10 and under items for kids in the Sale section of the website today. Mostly summer, too, so worth checking out.
- Coupon sites, such as Retail Me Not, have codes for $10 off $50, $20 off $100, and $50 off $250. Lately, I haven’t been able to get these codes to work, but still worth watching the site and giving them a try. If you have a code that works, leave a comment and let us know!
