Filene's Basement

Let the door man usher you into bargain central. Two floors (men on the bottom- womens gear and house goods on the top) of discounted clothing. A great "Oh no! I forgot my umbrella/scarf/hat/shoes/hole in the skirt" types place to bounce in, not pay too much, and enjoy the discount. Not into spending paychecks on perfume and not too particular- try out some new perfume without making the investment. Not the original basement, but a great place to shop for discounts. The high end name brands move out quickly, so go often to check out new stock.
