I usually go to Macy's a couple times a year, typically around the holidays for presents. My most recent trip was in search of new bedroom pillows. Since I am a "valued' card holder they send me coupons ever quarter, for 20% off or $10.00 off purchases, so I intended to use them.
This Macy's has three levels. Fining ourselves on level one, I became sidetracked by several racks of discounted workout/active wear clothes. After some browsing I noticed the prices for the Reebok and Head gear were really good! Like Gabe's good. LOL. I snagged up a few things tried them on and although I had said earlier I was not buying anything other than pillows, I bought the three outfits. I have a problem.
After perusing the slim selection of pillows and securing the 4 we were going to purchase we made our way to the checkout. I announced my coupons, and was immediately turned down. Here Macy's has added a "new" (at least to me) "closeout" section where all the items are already very discounted so no double dipping, now I get why the workout clothes were so cheap. I thought for a moment that I would try looking upstairs but said forget it. Purchased items and left. Now that I know of this whole floor filled with discounted items, I will probably check it out before heading to other areas of the store.
