JCPenney Is Going to Start Selling Some Items for Only a Penny

Image
Getty Images Malls across America are going to have to set up security guards at every fountain. That's because the pennies people toss in to make a wish might be worth lots of brand-new clothes. JCPenney is launching a series of sales where you can buy items for just one penny. The company announced the "Get Your Penney's Worth" sale strategy on Thursday, and said they would start advertising it this spring. The plan includes "Penney Days," which makes select products from the company's store brands sell for just one penny. The first Penney Days event will start on February 28 in stores and online. You can buy one regular priced Arizona clothing item or accessory and get another one for a penny. And future Penney Days will offer one-cent items that you can buy without purchasing another item first, while supplies last. The company is keeping mum about what other products will be on sale for one red cent, but execs told Today.com they will be "f...

That Le Creuset "Beauty and the Beast" Soup Pot Comes in Yellow Now

Image
After the blue edition of the Beauty and the Beast soup pot sold out almost immediately back in March, Le Creuset and Disney have teamed up to release a second exclusive edition in a sunny shade of yellow. Le Creuset Inspired by Belle's iconic yellow gown, the limited-edition pot comes with the same rose decoration on the lid and gold handle inscribed "Be Our Guest" that the blue edition did. They will also retail for the same price — $$$ — as the first edition. While that may seem like a lot, it's actually a steal considering that the lowest amount the sold-out blue pots are going for on eBay is $$$. While only 500 pots were made in the first edition, Le Creuset made 1,000 yellow ones that will go on sale on September 15 online at lecreuset.com and shopdisney.com and in Le Creuset Signature Stores as well.

10 Surprising Things You Never Knew About HomeGoods

Image
Getty Raise your hand if you consider HomeGoods your "happy place." (Us too.) But how much do you really know about this household retail giant? Probably not a lot, especially since the company is super tight-lipped about their vendors and strategy. But here's everything you need to know about one of our favorite off-price home stores: 1. The company dates back to 1919. It was founded by two brothers, Max and Morris Feldberg, and was called the New England Trading Company. However, later generations opened a series of new stores (like Zayre in the 1950s, T.J. Maxx in 1977, and finally HomeGoods as an off-price model in 1992) and the powerhouse company now just goes by "TJX." 2. And it's based in Framingham, Massachusetts. Yes, the same city that's best known for the Framingham Heart Study, which is a research project that has existed for decades and tracks the health of the city's residents. 3. The first store sold something very surprising — wom...
