These are the discounts in our neighborhood. None of these sales are as good as those at Saks but now that their inventory has been decimated here’s where to go to get the best values. Keep in mind, however, many people overs-hopped at Sakes. I guess at least 20% of the inventory will be coming back so make friends with the sales people so that they keep an eye out for your heart’s desire/ Happy shopping!
