A Great Find in an "Irregular" Place

A couple weeks ago we took a family vacation to Williamsburg. One afternoon we hit the outlets. There's nothing we actually need so that made browsing and dreaming our primary objective.  We wandered into Hanna Anderson...and it was here I found a gem of a deal.

There was this clear plastic tub sitting on top of one of the turn styles. Written on a piece of copy paper were the words "Irregular Bin-50% off lowest ticket price." My bargain minded brain made a beeline (while trying to appear nonchalant).

We browsed through the various items in the bin and ran across this adorable owl preschool backpack.

There were no tags and I could not find a thing wrong with it. This was unlike the other bags with holes, a missing zipper, etc. I had seen similar bags in the store for around $30.

While I couldn't justify spending that amount on a bag for a one year old, I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask the price. The nice sales clerk went to the wall with the same type of packs and came back without an immediate word. I was preparing myself for the full-price-mistakenly-placed-in-the-bin speech. Instead she pulled out her calculator and punched a few buttons. She looked at me with a smile and said, "It'll be $6.50. Do you want it?"

Ummm...yes!

I walked away a very happy girl. This pack is a perfect carryall for short trips. While I was not compensated in anyway to share this post, I can't help myself. We enjoyed our experience at this particular store and it just goes to show that great deals can be found in unexpected places.
