Shopper alert! Prices at the DLM Off Price warehouse really are too good to be true. That’s because the warehouse usually only sells wholesale, but for the first time ever they are opening to the public. Frugal fashionistas rejoice!
Shoppers will pay pennies on the dollar for top brands during four weekend sales, ending Dec. 18-19. Mark it on your calender, for sure. DLM was just featured on Best Deals TV. Watch the video here.
Okay, get a load of these prices. Women’s gloves for $5 (orig. $24), Elie Tahari dresses for $50 (orig. $335), and juniors’ jeans for $7 (orig. $40).
You can browse their clothes by brand (Calvin Klein, Lucky Brand, Sonoma, Theory, Tommy Bahama) or type of item (footwear, kids, mens, tops, blazers, etc). DLM also sells candles ($2.50 and up), picture frames ($3.50 and up) and throws ($4). I’m NOT kidding!!
They define weekend as Friday and Saturday, so the public sale days are Nov. 20-21, Nov. 27-28, Dec. 4-5, Dec. 11-12, and Dec 18-19. House are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. They accept cash and credit. Visit DLM at 2343 Saybrook Ave. in Commerce, CA.
Caveats: all sales final.
UPDATE: Living Doll went to the sale and says it was awesome.
Hey Julia,
This place is awesome! However, here are a few things to keep in mind for 1st timers :1) The selection for women is much larger than for men.
2) The Men’s section is predominantly for larger men (XL, XXL, XXXL) but there are still some goodies to be had for other sizes if you hunt a bit.
3) There are no mirrors in this joint, so you just have to wing it based on how it feels or bring a friend to help. NO RETURNS.
4) MOST IMPORTANT – the 80-90% discount is awesome, but is off of the highest price that is on the tag. This can be confusing because the item may be marked down by the original store it came from, but that is irrelevant. Example : if the tag says a price of $100, and then is slashed to $50…you will pay 80% off of the $100 not the $50 reduction.
Melanie was also impressed:
This place was AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much for letting us know about it . . .we literally got $650 worth of stuff for $130! Great clothes. . .I spent 3 hours there on Saturday and plan on going back next weekend. It was huge!!! The only bummer is you can’t try on the clothes, but we only ended up with one $5 shirt that is a little too big. I suggest if you are in the area (or you can get there somehow) you go!!!

Do you know if we have to buy in bulk or can we buy only one item? This place looks awesome…thanks!

Danielle, you can buy only one item. Glad you are interested in checking it out.

Hi – Do you know if this will be in-store only, or can we shop online? Thanks!

I believe it is in store only, Laurie, but I’m double checking for you.

Laurie, you will not be able to buy individual pieces online. You must go into the store for small purchases.

Julia, thanks for checking! Unfortunately I live in Des Moines so probably won’t be able to take advantage of this great deal. By the way, I absolutely love bargainbabe.com!

a little disappointed. went a couple of times with 2 friends. found the same prices at the dept store sales (sometimes better with coupons or using my cc) and I could return the items!
I didn’t see any ET $335 dress for $50…..

If you’re in the USA, or don’t mind paying to ship the items over the pond, there are great deals at http://blazerdepot.com/
Granted, they do not have 80% clearance racks, but what they do have is quality garments priced low every day of the year.
For example, men’s navy blazers $49.00
women’s black blazers $49.00
Plus they have blazers in colors you can’t find anywhere else such as kelly green, gold, purple, orange for just $59.00 and can special make blazers as well (obviously that cost a bit more, but they’ll do it).
