Frugal Finds: Snagging Bargains on Name Brand Clothing and Accessories

Frugal Finds and Hot DealsJust like most women, I love to shop and I’m always looking for a bargain deal. When I find them, I enjoy sharing with all of you what I found, how much I paid for it and where I found it. So, it’s time for another Fun Frugal Finds post here on The Classy Chics blog!

How many of you have ever shopped at Gabe’s? We are fortunate to have a Gabe’s right down the street and I try to get in there once every 6-8 weeks. For me, Gabe’s is hit or miss on the things that I find. If you’re unfamiliar with Gabe’s they’re an outlet-type of store that carries name brands at deeply discounted prices!

You’ll find a super-large apparel department (men’s, women’s and children’s clothing), linens, shoes for the entire family, home decor, yard art & garden items, seasonal & holiday items, dry good foods, jewelry, toys and more! IMHO, they’re a LOT cheaper than your local Target, Walmart and Kmart. However, it’s hit or miss if you find what you’re looking for.

B. O. C. Leather Handbag

Gabe’s carries name brands from many of your favorite designers and retail stores. I spotted many and I mean MANY name brands that I typically find in your more expensive department stores and brands that you find in your local shopping mall.

A few weeks ago I went into Gabe’s and I really scored big time! Check out all of the items that I purchased and I can’t wait to tell you how much I paid!

I wanted a new handbag for spring and summer and found this gorgeous B. O. C. Hobo Style Handbag that has a LOT of organizing features inside, including a built-in powerbank for charging up my smartphone and camera. The original price tag was $79.99 and I paid $34.99 for it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this handbag!

    I love to find a great deal, but i have not had the time lately. I did find some things on EBay: a sewing box a pineapple corer and a 2 pack baby girl zippered bodysuit all for under $20. There is no Gabe’s Store near me.

    Oh, I love finding a great bargain. Honestly, I get a little adrenaline rush from it, lol.

    Nothing like a bargain and you did well! I’ve never heard of Gabs but I’ll keep my eyes open as we travel around this summer@!

    WoW!! You Really did a Great Job on Bargain Hunting. That’s Awesome! I have never been to a Gabe’s Store. There are no outlet stores where I live in the small town of 4000 people. I used to live in the Chicago Suburbs. I had several outlet stores there. I miss all the stores.. We moved here about 12 yrs ago after retiring. I love the Serenity here. So Peaceful.. Anyhow I am so Happy for you to have gotten so many very nice things for such a good deal. Happy Shopping! :O)~~

  5. Not like most women, I hate to shop. I did get a new blouse and some great jeans at the thrift store this weekend when they were having their 50% off sales.

  6. I so love the handbog that you got and that was a major score. Also those t-shirts for only $3.00 now that’s my type of shopping. We don’t have one of these stores in our area but maybe someday they will come our way. I haven’t found any scores lately but I am always on the lookout.
