Men's designer suits for less than $100

Guys, I doubt you'll find a better deal on a new suit or sport coat than at Uber Outlet's tent sale (6021 Lyndale Av. S., Minneapolis, 612-869-0930, ext. 3) Thursday through Saturday. You can get suit separates on sale at Target.com for $20 to $99, but at last check, Target does not sell Burberry, Hickey Freeman and HSM. The suits and sport coats originally came from Twill in the Galleria. The $99.95 suits (about 80 each) were originally priced up to $1,400. The $79.95 sport coats (about 100 each) were up to $500 originally. Sizes range from 38 to 46, but guys who are 42 regular or 42 long get the best selection. Pants are $10, shorts $8, and ties $8.

The outlet is also selling maternity wear from Habitual, Paper Denim & Cloth, and Juliet Dream at 80 percent off. Fat Belly Sport workout wear, previously not discounted, is discounted 40 percent. A discontinued line of high-quality cotton and knit clothing and accessories for infants up to size 10 is 70 to 80 percent off. The sale runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

All contemporary women's clothing items $5 each

It's the last blast for Look warehouse sales. The company is moving to Mexico and has sold its remaining inventory of about 1,000 pieces to a former associate. Prices ranged from $25 to $125 during past warehouse sales, but everything is marked at $5 during the sale from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. The pants, jackets, skirts, dresses and tank tops come in small, medium, large and extra-large sizes for spring/summer. Styles are loose-fitting, colorful and funky. The sale takes place at the owner's home at 4941 Upton Av. S., Minneapolis, 612-920-1911. Cash only.

Will 90 percent off get you to buy?

If you're waiting for a great deal before you spend your moldy cash, here it is. GH2 women's boutique (318 E. Hennepin Av., Minneapolis, 612-378-0509) will sell all of its new and consigned items 90 percent off Friday and Saturday. The spring/summer items will be priced at $5 to $200 after the discount. Doors open at 10 a.m., and you can bet a line will be forming an hour or so in advance. The store is closed today to prepare for the sale.

The "winners" have all been Turkeys, no matter the honor's name.
