The Rolls Royce of Garage Sales; Ticket Giveaway; J.C. Penney Comes to Midtown, Lingerie for Plum Tomatoes
 
Yes tomatoes, it's that time of the season when basically everything is on sale everywhere.  The cool New York summer hasn't been so cool for retailers, so stores are practically paying you to haul away the summer clothes.  But we've got a few special highlights for you this week from the Hampton's Super Saturday Sale to...gasp!...the opening of J.C. Penney in New York City.  And if you're a plum sized tomato, you're going to love this online lingerie boutique we just found out about.  And we've got a great show coming up tomorrow on Tomatoes in the Trenches.
 
Free tickets and The Funny Side of Getting Older
