FUN QUESTION
What is your favorite store to shop at, and why?
What is the best bargain you've ever found?

I don't really have a favorite place to shop at, I just go where I think the product I want is. I do really do a lot of shopping for fun. I also don't really look for bargains, I grab what I want so I wouldn't really know my best bargain ever.
For clothing, I especially like to shop at Maurice's because their pants actually fit my shape properly. Most of my shopping is done at Target and Wal-Mart, however. ;) My best bargains have probably all been gotten at Outlets at Albertville...lots of good deals on baby clothes and mommy clothes and maternity clothes and shoes and dishes... Recently I scored some awesome baby deals at Target: shirts for $1.98 and pants for $3!
I think my favorite store to shop at is - don't laugh - Kmart, and here's why:
First of all, our Kmart here in Ft. Walton Beach is neat and clean (unlike the Minot one...if it still exists). The Ft. Walton Beach Kmart also gives a 10% military discount! Woo-hoo! There are (surprisingly) never very many people shopping, so it's a peaceful place - the polar opposite of the Super Walmart we've got here in town. It seems there's always a good variety and great prices. (I always find the best shirts/tops/blouses there!)
Ummm...the best bargain I think I've ever found was at the Goodwill store in my hometown when I was visiting family - way back when Drake was a baby. I got one of those baby backpacks (you know, the hiking type ones with the metal frame, so the baby can ride on your back) for $0.99!! Can't beat that! And we used it A LOT.
I have no idea why, but I have this major love for Target. I just love to go to Target. I can find anything there!
The best bargain I've found would probably be on Ebay where I got James 12 books for 99 cents. I also got Tobias a really nice three-piece name brand outfit for $6.00. I was pretty proud of that! ha ha
My favorite places to shop... hmmm. Probably at places like TJMaxx, Kohl's, etc because there is always the hope of finding a bargain. I also used to love the outlet mall near us in Chicago... it had a Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy outlet all in one and there were good deals! I'm a bargain hunter and Vince often jokes that my budget for new pants is $3 and a new shirt is $1.64... which is not far from the truth. Some is I'm frugal and some is I'm cheap.
As far as best deals... hmmmm... I recently got a set of sheets at Target. They were mis-marked, which I pointed out to the clerk, but he said if they were marked that way, I would get the price as marked. So I got a set of king sheets for $4.96. I love bargains!
My favorite store to shop at is probably Aldo or Le Chateau. I'm not a big bargain shopper. I tend to save up for what I like and then buy it.
The best bargain I ever found was a t-shirt for $2.00. I was 12, but I still remember it.
My favorite place to shop...hmmm....Chipotle, because it has AaaaMAZing burritos!!
Actually, the places I would love to shop at cost to much for me to actually shop at. :) I need to take Beth's advice & save up, then shop.
I enjoy stocking up on baby gifts at childrensplace.com (mainly the clearance sales) and tacking on online discount codes (I google hunt them) to the already good prices.
I am definitely part of the Target fan club...they have such good clearance, often on things I don't need :) For clothes, favorites would be JcPenney, Old Navy, and outlet malls. I like to shop the clearance clothes for my boys a year in advance. One of the good bargains we got was on one of those big blow-up bouncy castles, 75% off--we paid $50 for it, and it has been well worth it!
My favorite place to shop is Target. The best bargains have been two different neighbors tossing furniture. I got a sitting chair and an entertainment center.
Wow...this is not a good start for me...I find it ironic that we're "shopping for time" but I seem to have very little of it these days. Sorry for the lateness. Anyways, my favorite store is Target and Barnes & Noble. B&N is great since Josh gets an employee discount. And I've always preferred Target over Walmart, even though Wally World does have lower prices. I just just find Target more people friendly. My best bargain was at Kohls'. I was able to buy like 3 dresses for $3-5 each. Original price had been like $20 or something. I love dresses...
And might I remark, Angela, and you and your dress looked quite cute last Sunday. ;) (Even if it wasn't one of your bargains!)
