Shoe Sale Adventure

Sterling Shoes is closing down.   Their shoes have now be set to 70% and accessories are 80% off.  Just last week their shoes were only 60% off.  I guess the permanent closure deadline is coming fast.   I had wipe out the Bramalea City Centre location of both its trouser socks and the gel foot protector products.  At  80% off you cant go wrong.  I did end my buying my rainboots from there as well. I think it may have taken me at least an half hour to decide whether to buy it or not, haha.

I didnt realize there was a Sterling Shoes location at the Eaton Centre as well.  It is sort of hidden, beside the escalator near Sears.   I dropped by this location two nights ago, just minutes before the mall closed.   I ended up buying almost all of the trouser socks they had.  I think I bought 9 pairs of trouser socks and 7 pairs of gel shoe inserts.   My bill should have been almost $100 but with the 80% discount I ended up paying less than $20.  Amazing deal !

I dropped by the shop again yesterday at lunch, as I didn't have time to look at the heels.  Well, I ended up leaving with 5 pairs of heels, each 70% off !  The brands I bought included Guess, Nine West, BlowFish and  Fergalicious.

Now Im thinking, ok...thats more than enough shoes but it was hard to resist.  I mean come on, how often do you get nice heels at 70% off?  Not often enough.  Thats for sure.

So today I went to the bay store to get a price adjustment on a purse.  On my way out, I passed the shoe department.  Big mistake.  I was surprised to see a lot of people roaming around that area.  The sale was only 15% off and that was only in your bay card too. 

As I walked toward the exit, guess what happened!?   A silver Nine West heel caught my attention, which actually was in my size!   It was regularly $130 but marked for clearance as $99.  I couldnt believe it was selling for so high.  My inner voice told me to ask if there was an additional discount on top of the $99, in addition to the 15%.   So I asked.  It turns out the current price of the high heels was $49.99.  Well,  thats more like it!  With the discount  and tax the final price was $48 and some change.  Not cheap but an awesome deal but a high quality heel! 

I also ended up buying a killer pair of black rocker boots.   There are silver studs all over it.  Crazy.

I really need to find a good shoe saver/organizer so I can get rid of my shoe boxes and still keep my heels in great condition.  Hope I find one soon.
