OLD NAVY: $1 Flip Flop Day (Saturday, 6/29/13)

Source: Picture from HERE!

Well, well, well...another One Day Wonder (ODW) is here at Old Navy.
 
This Saturday, Old Navy will be hosting a ONE DAY EVENT in which all basic (solid colored) flip flops are marked down to $1 (instead of the normal $3.94/each or 2/$5). All solid flip flops will be $1 (Women's/Men's/Kid's).
 
As an employee of Old Navy, I thought I may share a few tips/tricks/words of advice about this sale.
 
 
  • These days are absolutely nuts. We open earlier than usual (7:00 seems to be the time this year, but call ahead to check), people LINE UP to get flip flops, there's a big crowd, and the store's a mess.
  • Get in early: Sorry, but by 3:00, most likely the flip flops in your size/color you want will probably be gone.
  • There is usually a limit on how many pairs you can buy. I believe it is FIVE PAIRS per person this year, but a sign should be displayed at your store. This means that you will be able to get 5 pairs total, encompassing all sections of the store. If you bring more pairs up to the register, there's a big chance you won't be allowed to buy them. TIP: Bring extra people if you need extra pairs!
  • Old Navy employees will most likely be wearing flip flops and Staff shirts. Feel free to ask questions, however, it is likely that all of our flip flops will be out, we will not have any more in the back, and we doubt another store will hold them for you.
  • BIG TIP: So we don't have the flip flops in a certain size or color?  Pick up ANY flip flops in the section you will need them (for example, Women's). You can exchange them once we get more in.
  • IT WILL BE CROWDED.
  • Be nice to the employees. I promise, this is the day we dread the most out of any other day at ON.
 
 
Honestly, I don't really believe that the craziness that goes on in store is worth paying $1 just for flip flops. Honestly, they're 2/$5 everyday, so to me, it's just easier to pay the extra $1.50 on each pair, but we know many people love this deal!
 
 
Happy flip flop shopping!

Door Decorations for College Dorms!

Hi readers!

I am about to enter my sophomore year at my university and am involved in a program which requires me to make door decorations for incoming freshmen (much like an RA--resident assistant--would). I chose to use pictures of cartoons from my childhood and it was really easy! Here's how I did it:

Materials you need:
Pictures of whatever you want to use as your decoration
Construction paper or cardstock
Glue (I used rubber cement, Elmer's glue or a glue stick would work just fine)
Scissors
Stickers (optional)
Sharpie or other marker

Step 1: Find pictures you want to use and print them out.
(Bonus points if you know who these are!)

Step 2: Cut out around the outlines as cleanly as possible.

Step 3: Glue your picture to your cardstock or construction paper (I used colorful cardstock).

Step 4: Cut around the picture again, leaving a thicker border around to show the color. I left a large portion at the bottom to add names and other details.

Step 5: Add any details (Stickers/names/room numbers etc.)

And that's it! Enjoy and good luck!
