Thursday 12/31/09: The annual/semi-annual sales are coming!

I hope you have some money leftover from Christmas in your household/clothing budget, or some gift cards, because January is one of the best times of the year to buy certain things. The best examples to me are Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works. We buy enough hand soap at B&BW in January to last a whole year, and VS is the only place I like to buy bras, but I don't like to pay the $40+ price tag for them. I also know clothing stores like New York & Company offer significant discounts after Christmas is over. These places are gearing up for their spring lines when there are still two months of winter left, so take advantage of the slashed prices!
