Calling All Shoppers!

By Suzanne O'Connor

It always saddens me when I hear that people won’t walk into a warehouse or drive to an area ‘cause it looks dicey.

CHICKENS!



It is in these industrial, off the beaten path, areas that some of your best deals are found. Factories, warehouse, liquidators are often located in less than stellar neighborhoods.  Get a grip….even the diciest, scariest, most gang ridden areas of LA are usually okay to go to during the middle of the day. 



Now if you decide to wear all your bling and drive your pimped up Mercedes, you may have problems. But if you can leave your bling at home, borrow your brothers truck, or take the other car you rather not be caught dead in, shopping in these areas will bring up outstanding savings of at least 50% off of retail.

These warehouses are just that, warehouses! They not designed for a consumer friendly experience. They may be dingy, dirty, badly lit, and perhaps not air conditioned…. But keep in mind you’re not going there to sip tea with royalty, you’re going to save money.

So toughen up! Put on your game face, comfy shoes and explore these incredible warehouse sales and outlets that have outstanding deals.  You’ll be surprised at how cool they really are and the smart upscale shoppers that shop them.

You go girl!  It was your late mother, Geri Cook, that challenged her audience to go on the offensive and become “bargain shopping guerrillas”.  After thirty years in the trenches I’ve managed to save on most of life’s necessities and some of it’s luxuries as well.  Thanks for the pep talk.

It’s because of my late mom that I am fearless. She taught me many things… one of which is to avoid contempt before investigation.
See ya in the trenches!
