Are you not quite ready for winter? Most people aren’t. August can be a slow time for plus size clothing sales. It is too late for most people to want to buy anything for summer (unless deeply discounted, of course) and yet too early to start thinking of winter. What better way to spur the consumer to action than to have a sale. Many online merchants are currently running pre-season sales on clothing we’ll all want to have in only another month or so. You can get good deals by shopping early.

Jessica London with women’s plus size fashions in sizes 14W to 34W is currently offering a $10 discount on specific winter apparel in their Take $10 off during our Leather & Suede Sale (Expires 9/8/05)

Avenue, women’s plus size clothing to size 32, has two new specials this week:

• SAVE 15% on Cloudwalkers Footwear Coupon Code:51237 (Exp. 8/31)
• SAVE 15% on Avenue Apparel. Coupon Code:51236 (Exp. 8/31)

That’s it for today. Don’t sit at the computer too long. Get out and enjoy the few remaining weeks of summer that are left. Haha! I’m laughing at myself. Oh, what am I saying? We’ve been in Southern California only a few months. Geez! Have I already forgotten how miserably HOT it is in August for most of the country? I’m sorry, maybe I should say “Stay indoors near an A/C vent. Tolerate just a couple more weeks of this unbearably hot weather and remember fall is coming soon.” Yikes! That is certainly how I used to survive the summers in the Mid-West.

Ladies, remember you can shop these sales too. I do. I shop for large t-shirts in the men’s department. They’re made no different than women’s and the men’s seem to have better deals for some reason.

What’s cooking? We have out of town guests coming for supper so we’re cooking out. There is nothing like a good marinade to really bring out the best in a piece of meat. I’ve got one I’m particularly fond of for steaks called Bushwhacker’s Savory Sauce. This marinade is available in either Mild or Hot & Spicy and both are delicious. I’ll be adding baked potatoes and a nice, big salad and supper is served.
