On Howard Stern this morning Robin was reminding people that if you have gift cards or get gift cards for Christmas you might want to use them because they become useless after the stores close their doors for good.

I was trying to find as well, this is all I have found so far. It says not all Talbot's or J Jill stores will be closing.

Oh my god that is a ton of stores. Thank god Dillards is only closing some and not going out of business as a whole, I love that place.

I just called Mom and told her about Talbots, she is so upset. Between the store and online she is buying something from there once a week, it's her favorite store.

And wow I cannot believe Lowes will be closing some stores! I guess Home Depot has been giving them a run for their money?

Yes I hate to see all that.

The Home Depot here closed last summer. I think a bunch of their merchandise went out the door at 10 % off, more than I can buy it a Lowes now. Make sure what you buy is really something you will use and enough cheaper to justify stocking up. I did do well on some screws and electrical stuff at Home Depot. I won't miss them much. I think Lowes and local hardware had as good or better stuff for less and abetter selection.
