I'm sure Leela is quite pleased! Great deals!

[karin4]

You got some great deals! Looking forward to seeing Leela in them!

[mharling]

Great scores Rashmi!!! Leela will, of course, look adorable in everything!

I shopped today and also bought the Apple A Day Jumper (my first girl Hanna purchase!!! :) ). I have visions of Lane still being able to wear the AAD Tee and getting pictures this fall.

Cool beans Rashmi! I love getting Hanna deals and it looks like you got some nice ones. I scored some for myself today as well. (Says the husband: STOP buying for the new baby!)

[papal]

Mary and Caroline! It is so cute to see the two of you buying girl clothes! How exciting!! Can't wait to see pics of the babies in them!

[C99]

Rashmi,

How on earth do you rein yourself in?!? There is so much cute stuff. I went to H&M today after Hanna and I had to almost physically restrain myself from buying all the cute dresses and pants they had for baby girls!

[papal]

ROSTER and BUDGET! :)

It is VERY hard. And the girls in Layette don't make it any easier!! They keep showing cute stuff and outfit. Bottom line, I NEVER PAY FULL PRICE FOR ANYTHING! Unless it is 50% or more off, I just don't get it. This is what my master, Helene, has taught me. Unless i LOVE it (which is rare), I will wait. I don't care if my babe is a year behind in fashions. heehee.

I have seen an H&M just once.. didn't buy anything though... not sure how well they wash and wear?

[C99]

Ah... I do the sale thing, but hadn't thought about the 50% off or more aspect to it. Maybe I should adopt it? I think that's why I stopped myself in H&M. The stuff was cute and not terribly expensive, but also: not on sale!

H&M stuff does wash and wear well though -- at least the boys' stuff I had for Nate did. Unfortunately, like everywhere else, H&M has 30 racks of cute stuff for girls and 2 racks of just-OK stuff for boys.

[Phoebe]

What is H&M? And, Rashmi, did you call the Oakbrook store for your great deals?

Can you post the code you used to get the discounts? I would love to get the Chicka jumper for $18.20!
TIA!

I called the Colorado store! Phoebe, I believe the additional 30% off is for size 50,60 and 70 stuff only though.. i am not a 100% sure, but I think that is what she said.

[papal]

No code. The Hanna stores (i called Colorado) are running an additional 30% off on some stuff.

[lmladuke]

Rashmi:

Was it a regular store or an outlet that you got the deals on? I am totally looking for a size 70 playdress for Katherine. You got such good deals on the jumpers too that I could be "persuaded" to buy them as well... DH threw away my hanna catalog - so I have style numbers for nothing! Do you think I need them if I call a store?

Nope, that's not true. It's all sizes. I bought some stuff for Lane too in 80's and 90's.

Lori,
I'm not Rashmi, but I was at the Oak Brook store yesterday and they had playdresses in lots of sizes. Definitely worth a call (and I wouldn't worry about not having style numbers).

What Mary said.. no need for style numbers... and i called the regular store, not the outlet.

[C99]

whoops! double post

[C99]

And I bought 100s for Nate...

H&M is like IKEA for clothing! www.hm.com

[mysweetboy]

Did you happen to notice if they have any of the Love A Bug line there (fleece jacket, pocket pants)? If so, it would definitely be worth it for me to call a store rather than order online.

Thanks!

Yes they did. Quite a bit, but I don't know about specific colors or sizes. Definitely call! If they hassle you at all, let me know I could probably take a run out there for you.

I will definitely give them a call tomorrow. I hope they don't give me a hassle....stores don't always ship orders?

Thank you!

Lori, the stores do have the LAB stuff but the jacket for sure is NOT an addt'l 30% off.

[mharling]

They are generally good about it, but every once in a while I hear of people having problems. Also, I think they told someone the LAB fleece wasn't 30% off except for store customers. Let me know how it goes!

Mary,

Did you go to Oakbrook or Woodfield? I went to Woodfield on Monday, and they offered to PA on my previous purchases, but they did not PA everything. I only got PA's on Lindsey's crossover top, kicky skirt, and jewel box striped tights. They told me everything else was still the same sale price, not the extra 30% off. I had purchased a playdress, tons of socks, the striped LS boxy tee, and another floral dress.

I'm just wondering if they are doing store specific markdowns and if I should trek up to Oakbrook to get everything else PA'ed.

Thanks!
Emily

[mharling]

Emily -
I went to Oak Brook. I only had 2 zippers, a pair of long johns and a shirt and they PA'ed everything. I know that Tara went to Oak Brook and her friend got a playdress with the 30% off, so it may be worth a shot. I wish the Hanna people could at least tell us all the same thing!!!!

I will definately have to make the trip out there then. I bought a playdress and a pair of long john's.

Or, maybe I'll just call customer service instead. What the heck, we might get a code out of it at least...;)

[westchicagomom]

I was at the Oakbrook store on Saturday and then again today (62 degrees - can you even believe it?) and the prices were different both days.

On Saturday *everything* in the store except the playdresses, the LAB pants and some outerwear was an additional 30%. They said they gave me 30% off the playdress as a perk just because I was buying so much. I bought a bunch of long johns (only one was holiday) because they were under $20 w/ the discount and that is something I know we will need so I don't mind buying ahead. Incidentally they had stripes from last year out - don't know where they got those.

Today, I was there and picked up another pair of striped lj's and they were not additionally discounted! However the dreaming in swedish dress I bought both days (the other one was defective but I didn't bring it to return today) was $6 cheaper today.

Who knows what they are doing. I think it totally depends on which SA you get. If they are confused and there is no one nearby to ask, I think they just wing-it and hope you don't complain.

I would be surprised if Customer Service would give you a PA since these are in-store sales, but I guess it might be worth a try.
