Now is the Time to Buy: Outdoor Furniture

With summer officially coming to an end (sniffle, sniffle) and the temperatures cooling down, the last thing you are probably thinking about is buying outdoor furniture for your patio. However, as I often advise, the off-season is prime time for discounted prices. That being said, now is the time to stock up on outdoor furniture in preparation for those great cookouts and gatherings next summer!

Here are some items that are on sale now:

Delano Outdoor Dining Table

The Bombay Company's Going out of Business!

Sad for them, sales for us! Unfortunately the Bombay Company recently announced its bankruptcy. As a result, the company has decided to close all U.S. locations (Canadian locations will remain open). The U.S. stores will stay open throughout the holiday season but look for the major sales right around the 1st of the year.

I checked out their site to see if there were any major sales yet, to no avail. Make sure to check out their clearance section often, though, as I am sure they will be liquidating a lot of their items very soon.

For more information about The Bombay Company's store closings, check out this article on DallasNews.com.

Update: www.bombaycompany.com has already shut down! You will have to check out the sales at your local stores.

Diva Deal Alert! JC Penney Final Sale

I found some of these great deals on JC Penney's site and just had to pass them along!

Pedestal Table in light cherry wood finish - $89.99 (was $399.99!)

What a great deal for this beautiful table. The low down: the table is a light cherry, not the mahogany finish in the picture. The challenge will just be to find chairs to match (the chairs featured in the picture don't have the same wood finish available online). However, for such a great price it may still be worth buying!

Wall Mirror - $29.99 (was $119.99!)

So I don't know what's up with the description they have on their site, but let's just assume that the price does correspond to the picture they feature. For a mirror this size, $29.99 is a great prices.
