Bargain Alert- Ann Taylor

The Pier Shops in Atlantic city is a sight worth seeing if you are a serious shopper. Attached to the Caesars Atlantic City Hotel Casino 2100 Pacific Avenue, Atlantic City, NJ, The Pier is loaded with an assortment of stores for every pocketbook. There are two floors of shopping and more being added each day. In addition to a ton of the highest end stores like Tiffanys, Coach and Louis Vuitton, there are some real bargain locations. One unlikely stop for super bargains was the Ann Taylor store. Located right on the perimeter of the fantastic fountain display, one would think this high rent location for a store would not encourage a bargain stop but I was surprised!!

Last week while shopping with out of towners, I was shocked that one in the party landed a beautiful full length gown originally priced at $228 for a mere $ 39! It was first quality merchandise and definetely NOT last years style! Although there were at least a dozen other styles similarliy priced to chose from, this was exactly what she needed for an upcoming cruise with her husband! There was a rack of cashmere sweaters originally priced at $178 marked down to $29! These were most likely overstocked items but cashmere is cashmere! Imagine our surprise when one of the very friendly sales girls came over and told us that many of the pure cashmere sweaters were ringing up less than that!!

There were racks with skirts and blouses and slacks that were similarily bargain priced. Of course the very latest releases for Spring were priced in a normal Ann Taylor price range, but with the outdoor temperatures in the 20's the bargain racks were the spot to be!

If gambling is not your first love and you are looking to fill your time, head for a sure win at
Ann Taylor's at The Pier Shops at Caesars in Atlantic City, NJ!
