Dish-Houston

This weekend is THE time to be hitting the sales DISHIES! The summer time is slow and that has put ALL retailers into PANIC mode! People are having sales that would not normally because of the economy! They are trying to keep doors OPEN...and it's all ot YOUR benefit!

Tootsies in Highland Village is having a HUGE one!

Top Drawer Lingerie is having a 40 plus % discount on select merchandise as well.

Rococo in River Oaks Shopping Centre is having a blow out to make room for fall which is ALREADY coming in!

I know these aren't the only ones, but it will take you to three LOCALLY owned stores to spend some of your hard earned cash on a discounted treat for yourself! We can be recession proof if we spend LOCAL! so PLEASE start local first!

Enjoy DISHIES!

We had such a fun time Tuesday on Great Day Houston!! That show has the most fun producers and of course...guests =)

This week we were giving away our shopping secrets...mainly e-bay and online sample sales. We love Giltgroupe.com!! When shopping E-Bay make sure you use reputable "stores"and sellers. Check out their former buyers comments, the buyer can't take off comments so if there are bad ones...they are REAL!

This recession is hurting all of us but there are two ways to fight back and survive!

1) Shop everyone on DISH, they are all local business and we can be recession proof is we keep our money local!

2) When it comes to clothing shopping, you can dress your family in brandname labels for seriously cheap...while also helping a good cause at the same time! There are thrift stores all over town that have clothing sections for sale. Dish won't lie, you have to hunt, but we found some amazing outfits...even one for DISH!!!

It's all a part of DISH'S Great Day Houston segment this Friday...Mission Impossible...can DISH dress a family of FOUR for $50 or less????

Make sure to watch Firday morning at 9 am to find out!

Guess what DISHIES!!! This is HUGE because Top Drawer doesn't do sales very often and this one is just in time for Christmas!!!
It's 50% off sleepware! DISH justs got the cutest pair of jammies there the other day for out b day and it's so comfy and cute and sexy! You have to go treat yourself or someone you love for the Holidays!!! =)

Then you can head across the street to La Griglia for some local food and Telfair at Home to decorate your home for the Holdays...it's also a locally owned store! Keep it local for the Holidays and we won't have nearly the recession issues the rest of the nation is having!!! =)
