Here’s a shopper anxiously waiting for the Belk doors to open at the Cary Towne Center…

You can use your $5 admission ticket and redeem throughout the Belk store. If you go to Cary’s Belk fragrance counter, you can visit Samina whose favorite perfume du jour is Chanel Allure. Calvin Klein is very popular also.

Okay now that I got that off my chest, I wanted to fill you in on an upcoming Sale Event that just about anyone can participate in, whether you just got laid off from your work (…sorry), or money is no object and bless you, you’re helping our Raleigh economy by spending wisely.

Have you heard of Belk’s big charity sale event just a few weeks away on May 2nd??? Whether you have or not, I’m gonna give you the information AND the ‘INSIDE scoop’ for savvy shoppers.

Normally I don’t like putting the words ‘charity’ and ‘sale’ in the same sentence because people tend to think of Goodwill clothing and yard sales, which are great and I support those causes fully, but this ONE event is really about the department store sale and part of the proceeds will go to local charities.

The charity I’m supporting for this sale event is Best Friend Pet Adoption, or BFPA for short. They’re a local non profit that provides care and foster homes for rescued and abandoned cats and dogs, until they find their forever home. But, the reason this charity should spark an interest for avid shoppers is …BFPA has an ‘inside’ opportunity for shoppers to get the 20%-50% off deals before the May 2nd event date where the public mobs will be coming in droves. Plus, these pre-sale event shoppers won’t have to drive out and get there at the convenient 6 am time (haha) on Saturday, May 2 when the doors open. So the pre-sale opportunity benefits anyone who wants to:

-shop without big crowds and the big lines,
-be the first to snatch the best shopping finds of brand names, including cosmetics and fragrances,
-go to the sale in a good mood and not half asleep.

So if any of that sounds appealing, I’ve provided the brochure here to give you details about the pre-sale event.

But whether you want to participate in either the pre-sale event days or the public May 2nd event, a $5 purchased ticket from a local participating charity like Best Friend Pet Adoption, will get you into the big once-a-season sale. Plus, your $5 ticket will be taken off your first purchase so it will cost you nothing and will benefits local charities. The actual May 2nd event runs from 6 am to 10 am. I guess that’s because Belk wants to have it before the mall opens or gets busy.

So get your ticket now if you want to participate.  Oh, and feel free to share what great finds you make out with, here. That’s actually something worth bragging about (it’s the next best thing to blogging)!  Just come back after the event and click on the ‘add a comment’ button at the top of this post.  I’ll be rooting for you to get the best deals (if I don’t beat-cha to it)! …and hopefully I’ll see you there!
