Crazy Shoe Shopping - Taking Advantage of MJM Closing Sale

Today, I just blew away a few hundred dollars on shoes! But here is the story. MJM, which was a store that sells shoes at a discount (with some branded names as well) was having a closing sale! Guess when you compete solely on price, things can get very difficult. Mrs Credit Card persuaded me to check out some Men’s shoes. We duly went after lunch. And must have spent at least an hour and a half at the store. Everything was either at a 20%, 30% or 50% discount. I started looking at casual shoes, then dress shoes and running shoes. Mrs Credit Card was busy getting shoes for the kids. To cut the long story short, check out the pictures below on what we got! In total, I spent $350. The way I justified this was as follows. I seldom buy shoes. The last time I bought shoes for myself was in 2002. [lien] [EN]

The Final Shopping Weekend

Nicholas Casey, Mylene Mangalindan and Vanessa O’Connell report ahead of the last Christmas shopping weekend. Lackluster sales in this holiday season have retailers scrambling to wring a few last dollars from procrastinators by slashing prices, extending hours and wooing customers more persistently than last year. The moves show that retailers’ strategy during this final weekend before Christmas — when about 10% of holiday sales are expected to take place — has become increasingly reliant on the same promotions and marathon hours once unique to the “Black Friday” weekend following Thanksgiving. But the discounts also reveal the pinch stores are in this year as the credit crunch, rising gas prices and winter storms have taken a toll on companies dependent on end-of-year sales. [lien] [EN]
