banana shoppers: a question
Permalink Closed

so i tried on this sweater in banana yesterday:



it fit me really well, and i liked it a lot. my only qualm was it was still $60. i really don't feel like spending that much on a navy cardigan that i only have maybe 2-3 outfits to pair it with. so my question is this, how soon before they cut the price even more?

there were a lot in the store, but it doesn't seem to be on the site so i am also wondering how soon before they sell out, and wondering if i should buy it and wait for a price adjustment.

thoughts?

For some reason I think I remember seeing Lilykind post that it was already on sale at her store (~$48) but I may be thinking of something similar at gap.  It was in this past week's weekend shopping post I think.


Otherwise I think its been mentioned before that the BR sale trend is every 8-12 weeks but that doesn't work for everything in the store because there is still a pair of capri/gaucho things that have been there all summer and they have yet to go on sale.  They are way over due on them.

the $60 is the sale price (i think it was orig 80). hmm. i guess they price things differently at different stores?

i'll check the weekend shopping, thanks!

In my store it was originally $78, I think, and is now down to $60.  There weren't many left though.  At my local BR, by the time the second price cut happens, there are only a few left and they're usually not in good shape at that point.

The other weekend I saw it on sale for $54. I imagine that if you wait 1 week to buy it, the price will probably drop again before your 2 week price adjustment period is over.

I don't know about the navy, but when I was looking for the grey last week it was very difficult to find.  They did a search and it was only in a few stores in my size.  I think I paid $55 for it from a store in Colorado.
