This year is flying by… It’s already mid February ! Which means Valentine’s Day !!!

Here are some ideas…..

Off Fifth Saks Fifth Avenue is taking an additional 50 % off all clearance !!  We are talking great name brands like Juicy, Polo, Dana Buchman and more ! This store is located in Grapevine Mills Mall and it is huge!!! 

The big FIG Sale is this weekend !  Yep, it stands for Fashion Industry Gallery and it is in Dallas.  It’s a  boutique-type Downtown wholesale venue showcasing the best in women’s contemporary and bridge sportswear and accessories as well as better men’s, within a high-design, hospitality-driven environment in the Dallas Arts District… a fabulous semi-annual sales event that is open to the public and features the area’s top retailers selling their merchandise at a 75 percent discount.

Now as far as the traditional Valentines Day items, I suggest Costco for flowers and Tom Thumb for CHOCOLATE !  But keep in mind that the dollar store is a great place to stock up on the little trinkets and cute bags for gift giving!  Kroger also has great flowers and lots of yummy cookies….    Spread the LOVE
