Sometimes they go on drastic discount when it's time to make room for the new stock (such as those 50% off sales).<br /><br />Problem is, you can't be certain that the color and/or size you want will still be available by sale time.

Week 3 and I think I may have come to the same conclusion. I made a list of everything I need to carry around and found that most of it was either on my iPhone (appointments/ to-do's/ contacts etc) or was only needed when at home/ office (I work from home). The only exceptions were a year planner and a note pad for jotting down Tim Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04320789185450598620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-10714765350465472102012-01-20T12:58:06.165-05:002012-01-20T12:58:06.165-05:00@SSA, @Amanda, Thanks for the info, much appreciat...@SSA, @Amanda, Thanks for the info, much appreciated!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00725516962884707741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-83996759899314454032012-01-20T12:00:27.045-05:002012-01-20T12:00:27.045-05:00@Scoot.
