Well…if these sales are making you jump up and down for excitement, wait until tomorrow when we will be back with more information on other sales happening in New York. You didn’t think that was the end of it, did you? The fun has just begun!
While we were sorely tempted not to write the second part of this issue, we realized our duty and have come back to keep our word. Why didn’t we wish to write about these sales? Well, the way we look at it, the less people know about these awesome deals, the more chances there are that we could find great stuff at these stores. You know, cut the competition!
Anyway, let’s set the ball rolling…more shopping events coming your way.
