Our local Goodwill & Savers, I find some very unique things you can't find at normal stores.

Locally TjMaxx and Tuesday Morning.

When I can travel I try to hit up Nordstrom's Rack and Marshalls.

Probably the best place for scoring bargains is a place in Mpls called Opitz Outlet. I have gotten some very spendy designer clothes for around $10 each.

Default shopping Target

I love shopping the outer endcaps in Target, there are great mark downs and combined with a coupon you can spend next to nothing for brand named products.
I bought pirate brand name bandaids for $.64 after I had a coupon!
love it, and the kids do too!

Goodwill - seriously. You can find some great deals there. Also, TJ Maxx, Ross, Marshall's, Gabriel's...used to love living near a Nordstrom's rack but alas now I live in Pittsburgh. Target is pretty good too.

Marshall's has a great selection of designer handbags and I like the pillows and home accessories they offer.

The Ross by my house I get housewares, bedding, book bags, luggage, active wear and furniture at great prices.

Default Secondhand and anything with a big clearance section

I used to frequent Marshals and TJ Max often when I had to dress well for work. I could always find blazers and skirts that fit my budget.

For larger items I shop second hand ($15.00 for a coffee table, $10.00 for a filing cabinet).

Default Kohls clearance bins

My fav is Kohls. I combine the sale prices with the coupons they send me ( and they do it very often) and I'm all set to snag some fab clothes at a very good price.

Marshall's is my fave...i always ask for a gift card to Marshalls or HomeGoods (also owned by the Marshall's people) for my BD to buy great things. I never know what I'll see and I adore the variety. I get all my home decor at Marshall's, as well as speciality snack and gourmet food. I've had dinner parties on the great spices or unique pastas I have discovered at the local Marshall's!
