    ABC Carpet & Home is hosting a private preview sale from Sunday, August 8 to Wednesday, August 12 at their Bronx Warehouse Outlet. The discount is up to 75% off ABC’s original prices on rugs, sofas, carpeting, lighting, linens and more.

    The sale goes public August 13th. Print out the below letter and receive an additional 15% off. A discount like this just makes you want to redecorate, huh?

    DSW Extra Discount

    We are receiving reports that the DSW Gucci sale has had a huge turnout. There are lines to get in and lines around the store to check out. One reader wrote that there was so much inventory it made the double-G brand seem tacky and overplayed.

    Another reader writes:

    That the merchandise bins and shoe racks were so crowded that you couldn’t move – all this for some vinyl hats and belts from several seasons past. Wasn’t a huge G fan to begin with but this just totally turned me off – not a smart move in terms of maintaining brand image.

    That doesn’t mean there aren’t great finds. One happy Gucci/DSW shopper reports:

    I went to NYC store today at noon and got a beautiful real ostrich tote bag for $500… All silk scarfs are $50 each. I got three 35″ square silk scarfs, some of them are definitely $350 originally.

    We hear that Gucci logo totes are priced at $250, wallets $50, belts $50, fanny packs $150 and shoes range from $150 to $250. These prices sound better than China Town fakes. The return policy is grab now, think later. And many people are doing just that.

    For those of you brave enough withstand the crowds and risk being tacky, here’s an additional 15% off

    Saks Summer Consolidation Sale

    The summer season is unofficially coming to an end at Saks. Thursday marks the beginning of consolidation where the leftover summer stock is reduced an additional 25% off. The current markdown hovers somewhere around 60% and the additional 25% discount brings the total savings to about 75% off.

    The best selection is usually found in designer ready-to-wear. However, there are always some lucky sizes shoes and returned handbags that make it to the end-of-season sale. It’s always worth a look around just don’t fall for anything crazy like a well-priced three-armed shirt dress.

    DSW’s Secret Shipment

    Designer Shoe Warehouse, or DSW, has been running an ad on CBS radio all day talking about a secret designer shipment coming into their Union Square store. At first, like with most commercials, we didn’t listen. By the third go-round, however, the message started to stick.

    Secret designer? Not for long.

    We have received high level intelligence that DSW’s mystery designer is GUCCI! The Union Square location is stocking their shelves with a large quantity of Gucci merchandise on Thursday, August 6th. The shipment, includes shoes, handbags, luggage and belts all at 60% of retail.

    The penalty for telling secrets? Not worried. Working for the CIA was completely out of the question a long time ago.

    Jimmy Choo Discounts 65% Off

    We just received word that Jimmy Choo has dropped prices again on their spring and summer merchandise. The current discount is now 65% but the sale only runs until Friday. We imagine that following Friday, all left over merchandise will be sent to the abyss of unwanted items of seasons past.

    In May, Jimmy Choo took their first discount of 30% off. Then prices dropped to 50% off in mid-June. This current discount is their third and final markdown. We hear that sizes are getting limited. So now would be a good time to get any items you were holding out for.

    Gap Give and Get

    You may think Uniqlo is cooler than Gap but we appreciate Gap’s commitment to community and philanthropy. With Gap’s Give & Get program it’s a win-win situation.

    When you shop online or in-store at Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy from July 30 to August 2, you’ll get 30% off your purchase. What’s even nicer is that 5% of what you spend will be donated to a Gap non-profit partner of your choosing.

    We chose the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society but other options include, Teach for America, Feeding America, and Care. Lets see Uniqlo do the same!
