JCPenney - Four Shirts for $19.92!

I have blogged before about how happy I was for JCPenney to come to Manhattan - especially since they carry "Big Boy Sizes" at reasonable prices.

Yesterday I wandered through the store to see if anything was on sale, and lo and behold I found golf-style, short-sleeved polo shirts (which I can wear to work) for $4.98 each!!! I couldn't believe my eyes when I went over to the price scanner to check the final sale price. I immediately went back to the "Big Boy Department" and picked up three more. Total cost = $19.92 for FOUR SHIRTS!!!


Now I don't have to do laundry until the weekend. Yeah, me!!

JCPenney Opens In Manhattan

Manhattan's first JCPenney opened on Friday, and I stopped by to see what I could see.

I became a JCPenney's shopper through Mama Bunny. There was a JCPenney store in my town - and Mom always took me there to buy school clothes (she even worked in the Catalog Department during a few Christmas seasons). I liked that Penney's didn't have a "Husky" Department for boys per se, like that evil horrible OTHER store of my childhood - Montgomery Ward. I always HATED when Mom dragged me into "Wards" for husky-size pants and those cheap-ass sneakers they sold. JCPenney's always seemed like a better shopping experience for me as a child - so I've remained loyal.

Anywhore, the Manhattan branch of JCP was crowded on the first day - despite torrential downpours outside. They have taken over the lower two floors of the Manhattan Mall - completely erasing all remnants of the Food Court (and of Manhattan's only Arby's). Sniff ... sniff ... I promised myself I wouldn't cry ...

JCPenney's doesn't have delicious roast beef, but they DO have ...


... a men's "Big and Tall" section. Believe it or not, no other department store in Manhattan has a section for Fat Boy clothes (not Bloomindales, not Lord & Taylor, and not even the gigantic flagship Macy's one block away). I guess it's not cool to cater to lard asses.

I found this other section ....


... which also made me feel right at home. :)
