Very excited about this site - love the concept and the content.

I quickly stopped into the Old Navy at 75th and Lemont and the 50% off Clearance was still going on. The cashier told me that it ends there TODAY. I was just there returning an item and did not have time to browse and see what kind of stock was left. But if anyone is in the area and wants to do more shopping, may be worth a look!

We were up in the Dells for the weekend. I stopped in the Old Navy at the Outlet Mall and there was still a lot of kids clothing left. I picked up 3 winter coats for my nephews (size 3 & 4), 8 long sleeve shirts, a couple of shirts for my hubby, 6 pairs of sleep pants for my daughter, 6 pair of mens boxers, and 3 PJ shirts for me. All for about $42.00. I had so much fun, went back the next day while the kids were swimming and got a few more things!!

I stopped by the Deer Park store on the way home from work tonight. The toddler and girls' clothing was pretty picked over, but I was able to find a few things. I got $290 worth of toddler/girls clothing for $40 (including a winter jacket), so I'm pretty happy.

Has anyone been to the store in skokie by Old Orchard mall? Would like to run up there tonight but won't bother if it is totally picked over. Looking for boys' 10-12 and 4-6.

I just came from there (Batavia at Randall) and the cashier said they were extending the sale through THURSDAY! There was still a TONNNNNNN of stuff left so that's probably why!

In other news, I was really annoyed by the lack of toddler boy stuff but discovered a motherlode is just mixed in with the regular stuff. Check the tags on the tables of shirts, for example; there were quite a few clearanced designs that were hiding in plain sight with non-sale items! Rock band and super hero shirts for $1-$2!

Thanks so much for the heads up and the $10. off coupons for this sale. I did 4 separate "close to $50." transactions between McHenry and Deerpark and so thrilled. I also let a friend of mine know that just lost a bunch of weight and she was like a kid in a candy store with her new sizes. Very much appreciated to have this forum! I haven't totaled up my retail vs. clearance and that but I have seriously 20 bags of stuff in my bedroom to go through... :-) yeah!!!

I stopped by yesterday and bought an assortment of womens', girls', & boys' t-shirts and paid about $34 for 27 shirts. They're all perfect for spring/summer! I even shared 5 with my sister and her sons. I forgot my 25% off coupon, which I was so upset about, but the wonderful manager entered it in for me!
I don't really need to stock up for the next year as we're fortunate to get "hand-me-downs" from family & friends for my kids. I had fun buying cute shirts for about $1.26 each (on average).

and get an extra 10% off! That's what the AHts manager told me today....I asked if this discount was advertised, he said only when they first started the promotion a few months ago. The additional 10% would be in addition to the 50% off....sweet! I'm thinking it's for all Old Navy stores, at least in the Chicagoland area.

Went tonight and got $360 worth of clothes for $57! Had the additional 25% off coupon too. Not much left for small boys, but lots left for small girls. Decent pile to choose from for the boys section. The women's section was huge! Tons of stuff. Men's section was ok but they did have jeans in their section. This was at the McHenry location.

I got 58 items for $134.84 with tax. That included a men's wool coat, men's frost free jacket, and a women's pea coat. I made a beeline to the boy's section since that's the section I am never lucky in. I found a bunch of boy's clothes for my 9 year old, he's set. I only bought a few things for each of my other two boys since they have the hand me downs from the oldest. I, of course, got myself lots of cute things along with some things for the hubster.

and what a good trip!
22 items (mostly for my son and niece)

retail total = $343.49
clearance price total = $133.02
pre-tax on my total = $47.38

savings of 87% of retail - not too shabby :o)

I got 20 items for $80 (just under) today in Downers Grove! These were all adult clothes too!

I am in Ohio and they started their sale today too. I went and their clearance prices were not nearly as low. I've been studying our ON in DeKalb the past week and they just have not marked things as low yet out here, but they still took the additional 50% off today. Luckily, I went shopping in DeKalb on Thurs before we left town and my husand is taking in the receipt this weekend to get adjusted. You all got much better deals than at the store I went to today!

And the manager said they all are. When I asked about the 75% off stores, he said those stores are now 75 % off because they are closing. He said the GAP store in Arlington Hts. is closing and is 75 % off, too My best buy today was men's zip hoodies for $4.12 each with the 25% off coupon. Thanks, Jill and Fayba!!!

an extra 50%. I almost did not go in because the signs are not out on the window...but, I just had a feeling and sure enough they had the extra 50% off clearance on the racks. Alot of women's and men's stuff still...some kids winter stuff. I didn't see a lot of coats (men's and women's XL coats) though. Things were going fast!!!

Gurnee Old Navy has the 50% off.
I got 46 Luna Bars (They are like $1.49 at Jewel) .18 each!
2 pairs of womens walking shorts, 1- pair walking capris, 4 pairs of moccasins, 3 mens shirts , 4 pairs of mittens, fleece pants, 2 womens tops, 11 tricket type items for socking stuffers, and Wool jacket - all for $70.87

Just wondering if they do this sale at any other time of year? I can buy ahead for summer but it is hard to predict for next fall/winter. I went to Naperville this morning and got some great deals. Lots of girls tanks - .92, jeans - 2.86, hoodie - 3.84, shorts - 1.86. I did have the 25% off Q. My girls are having a ball trying it all on and modeling for me right now! What fun!

Just got back...
33 items for a total of $100. Including a coat and 3 sweatshirts for my husband, 5 pairs of jeans for the kids, a dress for me, capris for my step-daughter and LOTS of shirts for the kids and me! That's an average of only $3.00/item! Tons of stuff in stock all over the store! I may go back tonight!

Also has their 50% off clearance going too. I didn't get to go in, just drove by, but I will collect my coupons for ON and head over there within the next few hours! (waiting on a napping little boy =)

Schaumburg location is also 50%. Girls selection was huge, boy's selection was limited to one tiny little rack with about 30 items at most on it. Very disappointing.

Rockford Old Navy also started the 50% off clearance price today. Just got back with some great deals!

I was just at Vernon Hills and they are also having 50% off clearance. I saved so much money. When I drove by Gurnee I saw the sign in the window but did not have time to go in to see if it had started.

The Gap (at least in Oak Brook Mall) is also having 50% off clearance merchandise. I believe this runs through 1/24.

The McHenry OLD NAVY is also having their sale today. I came home with tons of great deals!! I used my 25% off coupon. Girls jeans were $3.73 - $4.49, super hero shirts were $.92, and other boys shirts were $1.12 - $2.80. Have fun shopping!!

The 25% off coupon is already gone, as well as all of the other coupons you need to "hunt" for on the Old Navy site. Not worth my time if I have to hunt down a coupon....

when you say stagger... by how much do you think they stagger these between locations? A week? more? less? hmmm I can think of three really close to me and they aren't on this list.... I guess it wouldn't hurt to drive past and see if the 50% of clearance stickers are in the windows...
