Stores that I love......

I love Marshalls, HomeGoods, TJ Maxx, Ross and Tuesday Morning. I would venture to say that 90% of my shoes come from one of these establishments ( I have over 150 pairs of shoes but that is another post for another day). 

I just discovered Tuesday Morning last year. Their motto is "Seek the Unique". They have brand name items that have been overproduced and overbought and the savings are passed on the customer. My kind of store. There is store next door to my son's swim school. After class last spring, I decided to stop by on a whim. Turns out, Tuesday Morning was exiting the shoe business and marked down the entire shoe section to $10.00! Shoes from labels such as Calvin Klein, Nine West, Vince Camuto, Bagdley-Freaking-Mischa. Upon stumbling this, I bought 4 pairs. The best part, most of the shoes were in a size 10.5, which is my new shoe size post pregnancy and a difficult size to shop for. A couple of weeks later something incredible happened.......they marked the shoes down to $5.00. I bought sandals, cowboy boots, pumps, boots....name a type of shoe and I probably bought it. All the shoes were name brand and in my size. I thought I died and went to shoe heaven. All told, I purchased 11 pairs of shoes for less than $100!

Since the birth of my daughter, I have discovered the Tuesday Morning has an impressive baby selection. Many of the items appear to be overflow from baby boutiques. I have scored Egyptian Cotton baby blanket for $19.99 (regular price $100.00), terry cloth hooded towels (typically $40 to $50 at baby boutiques for $12), Baby sock and Headbands sets (typically $20 at baby boutiques for $6.00), cotton baby bibs (regular price $20 for $6.99). I have also discovered they have a unique and expansive toy section. I have purchased toys for the last two birthdays parties my son has attended from there. 

If you are in need of a great gift, Tuesday Morning is a great. I signed up for their mailer so now I know about upcoming sales up to 3 days before the general public. Starting tomorrow, they will offer a Kitchen Aid Food Processor (regularly $249 for $99). Since I am planning to make my daughter's baby food, this is a great score. I will be in the store as soon as it opens!
