Super Savings at JCPenney

*Update 3/11/09: I wanted to add a little note to this post because Kelly is chatting about how to dress cute for less today. My favorite way to save money on clothes is to shop the mid-season sales racks.

Have you ever noticed that department stores often change their clothing seasons long before the weather changes? (Bathing suits in January just don’t appeal to me! LOL) Usually by mid-season, you can save 50-75% on clothing prices.

Right now it might be hard to find really good deals since the spring and summer clothes are out in full force. However, if you wait until late June, early July, you can get some great deals and still wear the clothes for a couple of months. This post is about the winter deals I got in mid-January.*
Have I mentioned how much I love JCPenney? Their clothes are fabulous! Now, I know some of you may not agree with that, but as someone who wears sizes 4-6 depending on the brand, I love JCPenney, especially their pants.

After suffering from cabin fever for what seemed like weeks, I finally made it off the farm for a day. (We live on a back country, gravel county road that hardly ever sees the snow plow. In fact, we have yet to see the plow from the 5 inches of snow we got Tues/Wed.)

What did I do on my day of freedom? I spent my time browsing the racks at JCPenney. Have I mentioned how much I love that store? LOL Besides their amazing clothes that actually fit properly in all the right places, they have awesome sale prices!!!

For example, here’s a jacket I bought. It’s an Arizona jacket, corduroy on the outside, “fleece” on the inside. Original price was $80. How much do you think I spent?

I paid…are you ready?…$15 including tax!!!! I didn’t necessarily need a jacket. I have a wonderful Lands End parka, but sometimes the parka is a little too heavy for the weather or a too bulky when I’m shopping. Don’t you think this jacket will look great with a pair of jeans? Or over top one of these…

Aren’t those sweaters the cutest? I love the colors! There’s 5 sweaters, one tank top, and a nightgown (it isn’t in the picture). So how much did I pay? The cheapest item was $2.49, the most expensive was $7.49. Brand new!

I’m really excited because some of my sweaters are looking ratty after years and years of wearing or buying used. Seriously, I’ve had some of my sweaters for about 10 years. I didn’t think anyone noticed, but when I told the Farmer that I bought new sweaters, he cheered! LOL

So, by now you’re probably wondering how this is Super Savings…

If I would’ve bought everything at full price, my total would have been just under $350! Yipes! My total…drumroll please…was $57! Woot! That’s a savings of about 84%!

Now to clean out the closet and get rid of those ratty sweaters. :)
