Mid-day today, our electric was off for three hours because Ameren Missouri was upgrading to accommodate the new homes being built next door. So, after the hospice team meeting, I headed to the mall for lunch and to get my glasses adjusted.
Afterward, I was lured into Christopher and Banks by their 50% Off Everything In The Store signs. I don't shop at CB as often as I used to because, a few years ago, I began finding their clothes dowdy. Their prices were cheap, but who wants to look 10-20 years older? But in I went, today, anyway.
It was immediately obvious to me that CB has a new buyer. Their current line is right on trend with a nice variety. Unfortunately, however, their prices have nearly doubled. They used to be comparable to Target. Now their prices are more like Macy's. I did end up buying a sweater and two blouses, but I wouldn't have if they hadn't been 50% off. For me, the best way to fight rising prices is to take advantage of really good sales.
