Bargains at Liz Claiborne outlet closeout

You don't have to wait until Black Friday to find some great bargains at a Liz Claiborne New York Outlet. All of the outlets in the U.S. and Puerto Rico are being closed and Liz Claiborne will only be offered through J.C. Penney and QVC. So the outlet stores have everything marked down 60% to 80%.

I visited my local outlet yesterday and found a decent selection of clothing, jewelry and handbags. I bought several cute tops and a couple of pairs of earrings. I was hoping to get a new pair of jeans but didn't find anything I liked in my size.

Most of the clothing I saw was on the casual side, but they did have a few separates that could be dressed up a bit. I was disappointed not to see any dresses or shoes at that location, but it did have some pajamas and a few lightweight coats and jackets. There was also a selection of summer clothing.

If you need a few basic pieces for your wardrobe, it's worth visiting the Liz Claiborne outlet near you before it closes for good. You might even find a few items to give as Christmas gifts. Also, if you go today or tomorrow you can get three Care Free wrinkle resistant shirts for the price of one.

Women, men and money

The Grio has a very interesting piece about how a woman's income can affect her marriage. Not surprisingly, a new study finds that 40% of women who earn more than their husbands are more likely to divorce than those who earn less than their spouses.

Egg Recall

The government has recalled 258 million eggs because of salmonella. The eggs are produced by Wright County Egg of Galt, Iowa, but are sold under a variety of brand names.

The eggs are packaged in cartons of various sizes under the following names: Lucerne, Albertson, Mountain Dairy, Ralph’s, Boomsma’s, Sunshine, Hillandale, Trafficanda, Farm Fresh, Shoreland, Lund, Dutch Farms and Kemps.

If you think you have a package of eggs that may be contaminated, return it to the store where you purchased it for a full refund.

Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems, according to a press release from Wright County Egg.

Symptoms of salmonella infection include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis or arthritis.
