If you need a new laptop, you are probably not going to find a better deal than the one at Target this week. Starting today, Sunday August 5th, a Gateway laptop that is regularly priced at $379.99 is now only $249.99. Obviously, this is an exceptional deal.
Apparently, the Target near me received so many phone calls, the workers expected a small mob to show up on Sunday. I happened to be in the store on Saturday night looking at the sad two laptops sitting in the case. I made an important decision on Sunday morning. Ordering online is a way better idea than getting in a fist fight over the only two Gateway laptops sitting in a display case.
So if you need a new laptop, you can visit your local Target to see if they have any in stock. Chances are, they don't. In this situation, Target is not issuing rainchecks or substitutions. I feel like the best bargain of all is staying home and ordering the laptop online. Sometimes it is worth paying the shipping cost instead of being trampled at 8 AM on a Sunday morning to fight over a laptop.

Shopping at Payless is a Choice
It just recently occured to me that shopping at Payless Shoes has become less about saving money and more about being fashionable. What an interesting twist for Payless shoppers.
There was a time when people shopped at Payless because they had no other choice. There wasn't a lot of variety and some of the styles were not so cute. I believe Payless gets better with each year. Over the last ten years, things have really changed at Payless.
People now shop at Payless because they want to do so. Sure, they could go to other stores to buy shoes, but given the choice, people actually like what Payless has to offer. Yes, I will admit the prices have gone up a bit, but with the new Payless loyalty program and BOGO sales all the time, you can still find yourself buying 2 pairs of shoes for under $30. That is a great deal in my book.
Payless actually sells a lot of designer brand names now at the store. Aside from that, many cute brands like their American Eagle brand, Champion athletic shoes, or Airwalk shoes are available. It is a great place to shop now and still save money. If you haven't been in a while, I highly recommend it. It is the first place I go for shoes, and honestly, it is usually the last since I always find something I like. Shoes that are geniunely attractive and low-priced definitely get a "thumbs up" from me.

It's Dorm Shopping Time!
Yes, that great time of year has arrived again... dorm sales! If you or someone you know is going away to college this fall, now is the perfect time to pick up the cutest items for the dorm. Even if you are not going away to college, who cares? This is still the best time to shop for home items.
Unfortunately, throughout the year, many stores carry boring colors for sheets, towels, trash cans, rugs, etc. But not now! If you want bright pink towels in your bathroom or a bright red trash can for your kitchen, this is the time of year to go shopping for that. For some reason, retailers believe only college students want bright colors in their home. As we all know, many adults love bright colors anytime for our homes. Now is the time to shop!
Furthermore, now is the time for great sales. Plenty of items are on sale for college students at stores like Walmart, Target, Kmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohl's, JC Penney, and plenty more. If you like bright colors and bargain prices, you'd better start shopping. For the next month, you should be able to find plenty of low-budget items to choose from. After that, you will find clearance prices, but not as much variety. Depending on your priorities, you might want to go now or wait it out.
I recommend going online and checking out websites to see which stores are offering the best deals and have the best colors. Then it is time to shop!
