Ross Dress for Less: Review and Giveaway

Update: This giveaway is now closed.  Congratulations to winner Farrah Graff!

Ross provided me with a $25 gift card to experience their store AND are offering up another $25 to one of my lucky readers!  More on that in a bit.

About Ross:

Ross Dress for Less opened 3 more brand new stores in Chicagoland on Friday, October 10.  They're located at:

26 E. Randolph St, Chicago, IL 60602

New Lenox Town Center, 475 E. Lincoln Hwy, New Lenox, IL 60451

You can find a Ross near you by using their store locator.

My Experience:

While Ross Dress for Less has many, many clothes, you'll find a little bit of everything!  I think the saying above, "Experience the Treasure Hunt," describes Ross perfectly!  You never know what you'll find when you visit Ross.  Each store offers something different!  Today I saw everything from yoga mats to spatulas to candles to designer handbags.

Of course I couldn't resist spending most of my time in the baby and children's department to spoil my 9 month old.

I ended up getting:
4 pack of long-sleeve onesies, suggested price $26, compare at $16, Ross price $9.99

Walker toy, compare at $32, Ross price $22.99

But here's what I found really interesting...

The Ross Price was $9.99.  They put a "compare at" price of only $16.00, when the suggested price was $26!  I love how they didn't try to inflate the "compare to" price.
