A Lesson in Warehouse Sales:

What would you do to save almost $240? I would stand in a line for two hours to get into a building, spend another hour rummaging through piles and piles of miscellaneous Guess clothes with countless hundreds of other people (9 out of 10 of which are Asian, naturally), then stand in line for another two hours to pay for three items (a pretty nice dress, a tank top and a shirt) and depart from the building. So, four hours of standing, one hour of scavenging with the rest of the discount hunters, and $40 spent (instead of $280). So, I was saving about $48 per hour. Not too shabby. It's been a while since I've been to a warehouse sale, and back then it was for cheap cosmetics. It was a little more astonishing this time to see some women lugging around two or three garbage bags filled with merchandise, or other women having an entire bag filled with nothing but handbags. Craziness.
