I don’t ever cheer for store closings because I know there are always people who depend on the convenience of local stores to fulfill there needs. That being said I’ve only been to a Ritz Camera/Wolf Camera once in my life and was stunned by how expensive equipment was there compared to other stores.

However, store closings do mean one thing: DISCOUNTS. If you’re a camera junkie now is a good time to check out camera equipment and accessories as well as scrapbook items, etc. 

About half of the Wolf Camera/ Ritz Camera stores are closing so go HERE to find a store that is closing. The list is a download with VERY small font so be prepared. Rumor has it the sale is from 40-60% off in some places.

(Side note: Moms love camera stuff and Mother’s Day is this Sunday…)

Unlike Ritz Camera, Boater’s World is going completely out of business. All stores are closing so if you’re in the market for a wetsuit this summer or other Marine equipment now is the time to shop around!

That’s right, Gymboree is having a sale online.
Check it out HERE.

Might be a good time to stock up for baby showers and kid gifts. You can’t use Mr. Rebates or ebates.com but you can still get GymBucks and free shipping on purchases of $100 or more. Not bad!

If you hang out at Borders or you happen live near a Seattle’s Best Coffee shop…you can enjoy a cup of coffee with a friend at two for the price of one! Click HERE to print a coupon for a free mocha or latte (of equal or lesser value) when you purchase a medium or large mocha or latte! (For things like this I always say print ASAP. Once these things hit the internet stores tend to get slammed and sometimes pull the coupon!)

And the coupon doesn’t expire until 4/28/09!

I’ve been looking for a jacket for my sister who has several (but they’re all ratty looking) and I found this awesome clearance section on brands like The North Face, Columbia, Patagonia and Mountain Hardware.

If you live in a land with winter it is worth a look!
