Venice4504 suggested a great topic which is J.Crew's final sale and how long it has been going on. I agree with her that this final sale seems to be dragging on. I looked back in the posts of this blog and this latest final sale started on June 18th (refer to "Oh no, Final Sale is back!" post). Although the final sale has been going on for a few months, it does seem like a really long time to me. To be honest, I don't remember J.Crew's final sales lasting this long- just a couple of weeks (...or maybe I really never paid attention to them before). ;)I don't like "final sales" in general. :) Even though I rarely (and I do mean rarely) return items I buy from J.Crew, I like knowing I have the option in case I need to. And most times, J.Crew will let you return a final sale item if you need to (thus semi-defeating the concept of the "final sale"). However, I do understand why J.Crew (and other retailers) would run sales that are "final" (seeing as how they are trying to liquidate end-of-the-season inventory).
Also "thanks!" to everyone (like mom-nyc [in the "J.Crew Plays Favorites: Are You One?" post], Maggie May & Blumre [in this post]) who let us know that J.Crew is now offering an additional 20% off their final sale using the promo code EXTRA20. This offer expires 9/7/08.
Twiga also let us know (in the "Love It Or Leave It: Jersey-Knit Pant" post) that she heard in her local J.Crew store yesterday that the additional 40% off final sale items will be reduced to an additional 20% today. I called one of my local J.Crew's today and they are indeed running the 20% off final sale. So chances are your local store will be carrying the 20% off final sale as well.
What are your thoughts on J.Crew's final sale? Do you feel comfortable purchasing items that are part of their "final sale"? Do you think the "final sale" is now permanent? If you do not think it is permanent, when do you think the "final sale" will be over?
