They say that as of February they are slashing all prices 40%. This could mean better car seat prices.

Anyone else hear this?

Heard it too. Never thought about car seats! Kind of imagine it's more in-store prices though, since 40% (even on their inflated prices) is a pretty steep discount for baby gear.

I have a friend who works there. She said they are going to everyday low prices but didn't give me a percentage. I was in last week and they told me to come back this week because things would be different.

Baylor · Jan 25, 2012

Yeah. If you go to yahoo the story is there. They will still have discounts but it will be a month long sale.

Wait, having every day low prices for a big sale, or are they changing the everyday prices of their stuff from here on out?

Ooh, here it is. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/j-c-penney-gets-rid-151954852.html
Sounds like every day low pricing from here on out.
Cool! I like that! I really like their stuff!

Eh, it's really not going to be that great of a thing and it doesn't really change things much. Like a lot of stores, JCP really marks up their items and then advertises "big sales" and people buy stuff because they think they are getting great deals because things are 30, 40, 50% off. What JCP is doing now is to just price their things at a more accurate price-point and stop doing their big discount sales.

For example, if you buy a Nautilus from JCP the cost is $220. You can buy the same seat full price from Walmart for $137.

JCP's prices are ridiculous, so all they're doing now is to to have their items priced more competitively and on par with the normal prices at other stores.

Mags462 · Jan 25, 2012

Agree with Meg.... all this means to me is that i might not be able to snag my awesome "free" deals with their $10 of $10 coupons and such.

Oh well... JCP is really not some place i shop regularly anyways. I did in the past but honestly with kids, the mall is not my favorite place and i rarely shop the stores there.

It does change things for people who don't have the time, energy, or interest to constantly track prices and sales. My DH needs a pair of pants, he goes to a store that sells pants and buys a pair that fit (or, actually, that seem like they say the size he remembers someone saying he wears...); people like that will benefit from being able to go into JC Penney, buying the pants, coming home, and not getting snide comments about shopping incompetence an overpaying (and also from, you know, actually not overpaying).

Jessica61624 · Jan 25, 2012

I was told Theyre going to stop thy coupons also.

Holly · Jan 25, 2012

I like it because then I could go shopping there anytime I want and not worry about if they are having a sale or not. I like their clothes a little better than Walmart, Target, etc, so if the prices are comparable or maybe only a little bit more, I would go there all the time. I'm sure they will still have clearance too.

Kobain's Mommy · Jan 25, 2012

About the only thing I buy there is Carter's clothes on sale from the listed Carter's price on the tag. Other than that I can get myself clothes that fit better cheaper. DH has an issue with pant size and seems like Macy's only carries his size. As for car seats I just wonder how long they've been sitting around with the jacked up price when I can go to Walmart and buy one for the same price, no shipping and see the DOM right away.

Cath3114 · Jan 25, 2012

Should be interesting. I buy a lot of clothes from Penneys.

Baylor · Jan 25, 2012

I get a lot of dress clothes for the boys there and tshirts and pjs. They have decent linens too. I will most likely start shopping there more now.

I love their jcp sheets! I'm going to buy some so hopefully they drop in price also.

Lenae · Jan 25, 2012

This is good news for my family. There is a Penney's in the town half an hour away, and not much else.

This JC Penny has awesome clothes. If their prices were more competitive I would be more willing to shop there for clothes. As it is, I don't get there half the time when there is a sale because it isn't convenient. This way I can go when I've got the time and not worry I'm wasting money, etc.

DH gets a lot of dress clothes for work there. I always thought their prices on Dockers pants were high, but their shirt and tie sets were low. But then again it seems like Dockers are $50-60 at most places?

I will miss the $10 off $10 coupons. They were my source of socks and swim shirts for the boys
