Consumer Confidence

We wanted to do our part so we went to Macy’s to get a trench coat for my husband. The one we liked was marked $275. Pretty pricey. But the clerk said it was marked down to $99.99 today. So we took a second look. He then offered a chance to open a Macy’s account and save 20%. Okay. I then offered a Macy’s gift card I’d had for $30.00. And then slid my coupon from the paper over. That brought the price down 10% more. Final price: $52 and change. And then he said he’d validate our parking ticket. You just can’t afford not to go out and shop nowadays!
