Saleswoman: Spring '09 is the season of "cheap chic". Cathy: Winter, '08 was the season of "cheap chic". Saleswoman: Spring is even cheaper! Mega markdown! Over-the-top frugality!! Anything bought before March 1 is an ostentatious "out"! Cathy: In that case, I want to return... Saleswoman: Unless it still has the price tag attached and you have the original receipt. Then it's still "in"!
The vast majority of the 40-60% markdowns I’ve seen this spring are phony (markdown price not based on actual sales, only the worst junk from last season, etc.) And my in-laws and hubby have been trying to bargain for slightly better prices from all these desperate retailers (“we MUST move stock!!!”); for some electronics items for months after the winter holidays, but the price points haven’t even budged.
