V.I.P. Shopping and Saving at Dress Barn

Wanting to celebrate your inner fashion diva, a night out with the girls, and a great deal to boot? Now you can have all three with Dress Barn's V.I.P. shopping program. Read on for details.

While searching for deals this weekend on a few wardrobe items that needed replacing, I found myself at Dress Barn searching through the clearance racks. After finding a few potential purchases, I made my way to the fitting room, where I saw a very interesting sign asking me to speak to a sales associate about the V.I.P. shopping program offered by the store. Always on the lookout for a great deal opportunity to pass along to our readers here at Wise Bread, I did just that. Here's the deal:

Get up to ten friends (they'll do more, but ten keeps it fun for everybody) and book a party with Dress Barn by filling out their VIP form.
You can book your party whenever you want, but they are willing to do it after hours if you want so you can have the entire store to yourself.
As the hostess, you get twenty-five percent off your entire purchase.
Your guests get fifteen percent.
Yes, these discounts apply to clearance items. (Of course I asked, was there ever any doubt?)
A staff person (or two) will be there to help you coordinate outfits according to the season's trends.
They provide refreshments.

I would think this would be a blast for a girls' night out at a time of year when everybody needs a few items replaced. Bonus? Some great deals are to be had. At sixty percent off on the clearance rack alone, three of the tops I bought were five bucks and change. Add another twenty-five percent savings on top of that, and we're talking thrift store prices, people. What do I say to that? Wa. Hoo.

Dress Barn also has a hosiery club where you get a punch card and a free pair of hose after every twelve of them you purchase. Not as great a deal as the V.I.P. party, but not exactly a kick in the teeth either. They also gave me something called daisy bucks after my purchase that I can apply to my next purchase between two key dates in October. You can bet I'll be applying them towards something on the clearance rack for sure.
