It’s that time of year again: sample sale season!
We’ve mentioned a few in the last couple of editions of What’s Happening, but there are sometimes too many to fit within the column. Thanks to my last big sales blog, I know many of you wait to do your major shopping of the year for these sales – especially for designer jeans – so here are a few happening in the next couple of days.
Starting today at noon is a big sale on bags from designers like Kathy Van Zeeland, Tignanello and B. Makowsky. Wallets, luggage and purses are all up for grabs at 50% off; but beware, this one’s cash only. 1400 Rue Antonio-Barbeau, corner L’Acadie Blvd., 514-332-2555.
Parasuco’s official warehouse sale starts tomorrow at 9am and runs through until Sunday at 5pm. Call 514 334-7980 ext. 318 for details. Expect jeans starting at $25, jackets at $35 and tops at $15. Then inflict more damage on your wallet by crossing to the other side of L’Acadie Blvd. to enjoy the Deisel sale, which starts at 10am and finishes the same time on Sunday.
If you’re more of an online shopper or can’t get that far north easily (it really is quite a trek!), then look no further than our own daily deals for great bargains.
As a bit of a teaser, there's another big sale in tomorrow’s What’s Happening column... (And if you’d like to follow up-to-the-moment details on sales and Montreal finds, click here.)
See you at the cash!

p.s. If you really don't mind a trek and are looking for 80% off on bath & body products, the Fruits & Passion is having it's annual warehouse sale next week from June 4 to June 6. Talk about aroma therapy...
