Trying to figure out what to spend that gift card on, or just looking for some new pieces to liven up your wardrobe? Check out Target and Kmart, as well as the major department stores, because it seems everything is on sale. Whatever didn’t go out the door for the holidays is priced to move–and move fast.
I stopped by Kmart tonight because I needed a new blazer, but didn’t have a lot of cash to spend. I crossed my fingers that I’d find something stylish in the $35-40 range. When I found fully lined, classically cut blazers from their Attention line–in nice fabrics–for $10.79 each (marked down from $34.99), I was ecstatic. At that price, I could afford to get two blazers and a couple of new shells to wear underneath, all for what I’d anticipated spending on just one jacket.
All of their winter separates–most of which have already been marked down substantially–now carry an additional 40 percent markdown on top of the clearanc
e price.
If you buy online, the price on the Attention jacket is even lower, on clearance for $8.99, with plenty of sizes still available.
You’ll find a similar clearance bonanza at Target, but a quick look shows that the markdowns are only in-store so far, and not online. Their always-perfect Merona long-sleeved cardigan in a rainbow of winter colors is just $9 and change in store, with the matching shells just over $5 each.
And it’s not just sweaters–everything from blazers to party dresses are on the cleareance racks now, and the markdowns are steep. This is probably the best time of year to scrounge the clearance racks at Target, because even most of their winter pieces can be warn in fall and spring.
Whether you’ve got a gift card to spend, or you just need a few key wardrobe pieces, this is a great time to go on the hunt. The sale prices are fantastic, and you’ll get maximum bang for your buck.
