Filene's Basement in Boston, MA 02108

Are you ready to "rumble?" Die-hard devotees of the original Filene's Basement understand that true bargain shopping isn't always pretty. It's everyone for themselves in the quest for a coveted pair of $10 designer pumps. The Basement is home of the automatic markdown. Every piece of merchandise has a tag with a price and a date. If any item remains unsold after the date on the tag, it's marked down. You can purchase some "hangers-on" for a fraction of the original discounted price. The children's section, carrying clothes and some toys, tends to be a little spotty. Some days you can hit it big, while others leave you wondering why you came. Shop often for the best selection. If you're in town for one of four Basement Wedding Dress Sales try to catch highlights on the local news. Hungry brides-to-be vye for a hugely discounted selection of designer gowns. Call store for dates and times. You have to see it to believe it!
