AEs for $80 at Burlington Coat Factory

[DocHolliday]

Just found the Bentley in chili and black at Burlington for $79.99. I'm in Philadelphia at the moment, but they might be elsewhere. They also had some other woven pair in black. (I snagged the last 9.5D Bentley in chili, but they had several other sizes in the same color.)

Good luck guys.

Wow... I've never seen anything I would buy at BCF. I guess I'll have to head up there when I get home and check it out again.

BCF sometimes gets weird **** in stock. Mostly its crap, but I have seen a few gems there. Not worth checking on a daily basis, unless you live real close to a store.

I believe they are owned by the same company as TJ Maxx/Marshalls.

According to the press release when TJX got hacked, I don't remember seeing BCF listed as one of their companies. There is one somewhat near my place, and it's just north of a regular thrift route, so I'll start checking it when I'm extra-bored.

Yeah, my experience is it's like dumpster diving there. I've heard tales of top of the line Corneliani suits surfacing in BCF though.

This is the first time I've found a particularly good deal at Burlington. And I only went in because I happened to be passing by and it was frigid outside.

The BCF here were I live is really dreary looking on the inside. It is almost depressing to walk into that place.

It would have to be very very cold for me to want to walk into that store. But given there might be some AE's there maybe I can force myself to give it a try.

Finally got BCF a week or so back and was surprised to find that the store had been spruced up not at all so gloomy as before. Didn't find any AE's but found these J&M's saddle shoes for $35.00. This is a nice shoe and after wearing all day quite comfortable. Actually more than comfortable it is perfect.

Just goes to show that you don't have to spend more than $300.00 like you can with Mephistos to get a great walking shoe.

Picked up a pair of Bentleys in chili just two weeks ago for $79.99 - can't beat that!

BCF is its own company, and from my experience #4 on the discount pyramid.

My rankings -

1. Nordstrom Rack
2. Marshalls
3. TJ Maxx
4. BCF
5. Ross (the absolute worst)

Look at this pattern on the rug and scroll up and down real fast with your mouse wheel. You'll see what I'm talking about.

Sorry, I am just too stupid or slow - do not get it.

I noticed that too after I posted that picture you would swear that the picture is getting bigger as you scroll.

Glad to see you found something to make your trip worthwhile, Shoe-nut. I stopped in at a Burlington several hundred miles from Philadelphia, and there were no AEs or anything else of interest.

I wish I had the same luck at Off 5th as some of the folks here do. The one nearest me always seems very picked over.
