As in not work the drive from Michigan. My mom and I have gone every year for the last 5 years and this was the 1st year we didn't go. We were so disappointed with the prices last year that we didn't go. After seeing what people paid this year you can get better prices online when they do the Wednesday sales and such. Don't get me wrong the whole atmosphere and such is fun but I also want a good deal after the gas, hotel, and food for the weekend.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04210680407289209172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786437085727750169.post-75002751700088636692014-04-10T20:40:01.898-04:002014-04-10T20:40:01.898-04:00My daughter (22 yrs) and I went yesterday 2:30 - 5...My daughter (22 yrs) and I went yesterday 2:30 - 5 pm session. The session wasn't sold out but there was (what seemed like) a million people! We got in line around 1:45 and we were in the door of the arena where the sale was being held at 2:50. The place was packed but yet you could move around and get to all the tables. We had a blast looking at everything after we went to the items that we wanted. There was no place to sort through your things. There were the bins but if you were standing there going through your stuff, police officers made you move away. Because of that, many people were sorting their stuff in the checkout lines and there was merchandise thrown all over the place in the check out room. <br />This was our first year going but I've always heard about the great prices. I was hoping for at least 50% off but many prices weren't very much of a discount. I heard a lot of people saying that the prices weren't as good as they used to be. I especially heard that a lot in the checkout lines. <br />My best buy was a garment bag for 50. The checkout lady told me that is the best bargain that she had seen all day. (it's regular 135) My daughter bought a large duffel in Plum Crazy for 54.99 which is only 35% off the regular price of 85. I got a Miller Bag for 49.99 which is 41% off reg. 85. I got a Go-Round Tote 39.99, this item isn't made any more so I don't know what the original price was. I've never even seen the pattern of my Go Round Bag; it's a bright pink with a white flowery print. My last item was an eyeglasses case for 7.99. My daughter got a bunch of other items but I don't know what the prices were. <br />We are glad that we went but I doubt that we'll be in any hurry to go again. We drove over to the mall where the Vera store is (they were offering a shuttle bus over there!). We were surprised to find that store packed and people buying loads of things! Yes, these were people who had already been to the outlet sale! (they were getting on the shuttle bus!) We saw one of the sales ladies from our home town store (Ann Arbor, MI) working there. She said that the store in this mall is really busy during the sale with people coming over on the shuttles. We didn't buy anything there; we actually went to the mall to have dinner at one of the restaurants. <br />I hope that you had a good time and found lots of bargains on things that you wanted! What did you think of the prices?

My first stop is to grab a large tote of some kind to stash my other finds. Also, the stroller thing... If your child is not old enough to wander off on their own and be fine, best to leave them home. The sale is overwhelming for me and I'm an adult! :)gottahavecoupshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07574691285673743366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786437085727750169.post-14550602480927315082014-04-07T20:55:48.833-04:002014-04-07T20:55:48.833-04:00I'm not going until Thursday, but I'm hopi...I'm not going until Thursday, but I'm hoping someone will post it on Wednesday. As soon as I can, I will update the price comparison chart to reflect this year's prices. <br /><br />And, I'll have my post about my experience at the sale up on Friday.

Since 7:30 am is the first time of the day, people will be there early. I've even heard of people camping out. <br /><br />Keep in mind, that as long as you arrive before your session ends, you will be admitted. However, where you are in line can determine how much time you get to shop.<br /><br />Have fun!
