    Scoop Slashes Prices

    Scoop is finally getting the message that retail industry isn't doing well. I wonder if someone took a blow horn to Stefani Greenfield's ear.  I guess what actually made the Scoop co-founder open her eyes is inconsequential because the store has finally reduced prices to 60% off.



    These prices might make Scoop a bit more attractive to frugal shoppers but it's going to take a bit more to lure back their core business-- the newly penny-pinching parent's of over-indulged teens....

    Nordstrom Update and Clarification

    There seems to be a bit of confusion involving the Nordstorm sale. I followed and it seems as if you have to be a level three card member (spend over $10,000 annually on your Nordstrom card) to receive the additional discount.

    Shoppers in Scottsdale, AZ and Portland, OR report back about getting huge discounts, even on Chanel bags. I will continue to follow up on this unfolding story and I apologise in advance for any confusion. 


    Here are some discount examples sent to me by witnessed other Mad-Spies:

    Chanel is 40% off
    Marc Jacobs 40% + 30%
    Gucci bags 40% + 30% off
    Fendi 40% + 30%

    Don't worry. We'll get to the bottom of this!...

    Nordstrom Matches Saks

    Here we go again:

    The selection may not be as high end as Saks but Nordstrom is matching Saks' pre-Thanksgiving sale buy giving shoppers an additional 50% off merchandise that has already been reduced 40% for a total savings of 70% off. The sale goes through 12/7.

    You may not be able to score Louboutins but some stores carry high end brands, like Chloe, Proenza Schouler and Dolce and Gabbana. Locally you can try the Norstrom at Roosevelt Field (516-746-0011) but the best selection is found near company headquarters in Seattle (206-628-2111)....
