I summarized (with many pictures) the adventure I had on Saturday at the Prima Outlet warehouse sale that was kindly pointed out to me by another SoCal Pea. THANK YOU so much for bringing that to my attention!! This store is two hours away, so it wasn't a quick jaunt, but it was definitely a great time. Everything was only $1!! If you want to see what all I got and hear the tale, pls follow this link to my website. Thank you! Studio Monday: Supersized Warehouse Edition!!!Prima just announced their $1 sale has been extended to include this Saturday, August 9. Everything but a small amount of select items for $1. If you're in SoCal or can get to SoCal, now's your chance to come on down. I won't be there (not again!), but I can tell you you'll have a great time! |

You scored a lot of great stuff! Was the sale in Chino? At Primas warehouse there? I grew up in Pomona, wish Prima was there when I lived there. I only remember cows there.
Have fun with your goodies!!

Thanks gals! This one's only close because I'm technically in CA, hehe. It was still a two hour drive (160 miles) to get there. I'm totally excited to use my new stuff though, just have to wait for inspiration to strike, but I have a few ideas.

Yes, this was the warehouse in Chino.
Furry - no it wasn't crowded. We got there 5 min before they opened, expecting a line, and there wasn't one. The only line that ever formed was to check out, and as you can see in the photo, it never really got very long. The gal was counting orders before you got up to the register to speed the process as well. Very no-pressure shopping experience. The only discomfort was the heat/humidity.

We were there too in the early afternoon! My poor kids were miserable in there so I just grabbed anything that I thought I may use, I wish I could have spent a bit more time looking at everything more closely. I loved that everything was $1 with the exception of a canvas mini album.

(I love that your name is birdgate)
Honestly I don't know. That was my first time there and probably last for a long time. A helpful Pea pointed it out, I think that was cannmom, otherwise I would have no idea. My friend that went said a month or two ago they did everything 50% off, but the prices weren't as good, obviously. Apparently the store is open every Saturday, but the items are usually 3 for $10 or 8 for $20 which is how they price it at the Expos too.

I've been there 3 times. it used to be open every Friday and Saturday. since May, they have only been open the either the first or last Friday and Saturday of the month. i went to the 50% off sale and it was a great sale too. the prices were about $1.25 per pack instead of the recent $1.00/pack sale they had. it's normally around $2.50/pack. I didn't get to go to the $1 sale because it was way too hot and i had other stuff that came up. besides, i had stocked up plenty the other two times i went. also, when i went to the 1/2 off sale, they also had a huge $.50 section that i guess they didn't have during this last sale. i bought tons of stuff from that section.
