Express 1MX Dress Shirt and Producer Pants

Original Retail: $157.90 Price Paid: $87.95 Location: Express

 In this blog I often focus on shopping clearance sales, discount stores and outlets, but that's not to say you can't score great deals on in-season regular priced merchandise without resorting to swapping price tags or using shopping bags lined in tin-foil. 

Many big name retailers have old fashioned mailing lists or email list which they will use to send you catalogs and coupons/discounts through if you sign up for them. I am on the Express mailing list because I buy all my dress shirts for work there. Every few months I get a mailer with 2 coupons, one for $30 off a $90 purchase and one for $40 off a $120 purchase. 

Recently I needed to buy a dress shirt and slacks for my sister's wedding (her color is green apple) Express was running an in-store promotion, buy any 1 item and get a second item half off. The Pants cost $98 and the Shirt $59.90, the promotion brought the shirt down to $29.95 so my grand total was $127.95. Enter in Mr. Coupon and good bye to an additional $40 off!

In the end they basically took $10 off the pants and threw in the shirt for free. I love the thrill of the kill.
