Happenin’ Home and Back-to-School Bargains

Posted by The Editorial Desk / Friday, August 6th, 2010

Good morning, shoppers! Happy Friday!

Ready to reel in some big bargains this weekend? If you’re on the search for home furnishings and accents or back-to-school apparel and gear, you’re really in luck.

As for those of you in the former category, one place you’ll want to look is BoConcept in Tysons Galleria. To make room for new designs debuting in September, all of the store’s  floor samples this month are selling for 60 percent off! You can also find major deals, today only, at smartbargains.com, during the Last Chance Home Sale, featuring an additional 25-percent discount on top of everyday savings.

Oh, and speaking of home, if you’re a fan of the luxurious home store, Valerianne, in Vienna, don’t forget to become their fan on Facebook for special savings on one fabulous item, or product category, every month. This month’s promo is especially enticing if you ask me.

Now, as far as back-to-school savings go, don’t forget it’s a TAX-FREE WEEKEND in Virginia! Today through Sunday, purchases of certain school supplies, clothing and footwear will be exempt from the Virginia sales tax. Each eligible school supply item must be priced at $20 or less, and each eligible article of clothing and footwear must be priced at $100 or less.

Yet, it gets even better. Red Barn Mercantile in Alexandria is offering 20-percent savings on Russell & Hazel stationery and binders this weekend, gap.com is offering 20 percent off with the code “GAP4YOU” today, and stevemadden.com is offering 30-percent savings on must-have shoe styles.

Happy shopping!
