[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can afford Starbucks, but will always choose a local coffee shop doing their thing. I can afford Chik-Fil-A, but will always choose to go to Eden Center if I'm nearby. I can afford a Lexus, but will choose a Toyota. I can afford good clothes, but will choose... help me out here.

Where does one get Toyota level clothes with a dash of independent coffee house and a splash of Eden Center flavor? Do all clothes suck today?[/quote]

You search sales.  Nordstrom Rack is your friend.  I constantly search NR for deals....I know what brands I wear/like and I check weekly for sales.  Sure I could pay full price for things, but why?  I replace my old things when I find sales.

You aren’t really getting “deals.” The fact that you think you are is how they make so much money.[/quote]

+1. Nordstrom Rack and all of those adjacent discount stores just feel like a big time sink. You might find a needle in a haystack but it's not worth all the time wasted looking through all of their junk.[/quote]

Ummm...I don't go in person to shop.  I do it online, where I search for my favorite brands (that I buy at Nordstrom already) and narrow it down to my size and see what is available.  So I am seeing everything at Nordstrom Rack, not just what's in my dinky local store.

So yes I AM Saving money.  I'm buying new pairs of jeans that are the exact same size/style as what I normally get, just at 30-85% off the usual price.  Takes me all of 2 mins to see if anything meets that criteria and another 1 min to checkout.
