MT#4: Secrets of a Bargain Hunter
Love shopping at Ross and Marshalls? Here are some tips for the best steals and deals from RossStores.com!
The Treasure-Hunt:
Shopping off-price is a treasure hunt – try not to limit the experience by being too specific. Sometimes we get great deals on items that do not go to all stores. If you go looking for a specific item, you may not find it. Keep an open mind and your flexibility will pay off.
Shop Often:
The number one way to discover the best deals is to come often. Shipments arrive at our stores 3 to 6 times a week. At Ross there’s always something new.
Early Bird Catches the Deal:
Stores get busier as the day goes on so shop as close to opening time as possible to avoid “competition.”
Snatch It Up:
If you see something you like, buy it. More than likely, it won’t be there when you come back.
Buddy System:
Bring a friend. Another set of eyes increases your chance to spot a bargain.
Going, Going, Gone:
Shop clearance sections for even bigger savings. Price reductions are taken every week and are marked on the ticket. Look for the red and yellow clearance signs.
Tip:
It’s actually easy to remove those seemingly permanent price tags off a picture frame, vase, etc. Rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, mineral spirits (a solvent available at hardware stores) or Goo Gone® easily do the trick.

Confirmed! Aliona Doletskaya Leaves Russian Vogue
It was first rumored that Aliona Doletskaya was leaving Russian Vogue when Love magazine tweeted, “Aliona to leave Russian Vogue. Good luck Aliona for the future, we love you xx.”
Now, the president of Condé Nast International, Jonathan Newhouse, has confirmed Doletskaya’s resignation. He says, “Some time ago, Aliona Doletskaya told me that she would like to leave the Vogue Russia editor-in-chief’s post, which she has occupied for almost 13 years, and start a new life, probably to write a book or try her hand in a new field,” said Newhouse. “As Russia—as well as the rest of the world—was still going through economically hard times, I asked Aliona to wait for a better time to do this. Now, it’s obvious that we are coming out of the crisis, thus I don’t want to interfere with Aliona’s plans anymore. I accept her decision to leave the magazine with great sorrow… In the near future we will announce the name of the next editor-in-chief of Vogue Russia.”
Rumors of resignation are not a new thing for Aliona. A few years ago Aliona Doletskaya was rumored to take Anna Wintour’s position at US Vogue.
