If there was ever a time to go for broke—but wait! You don't have to!—it's this weekend. With the recession in full swing, we've never seen such a tidal wave of sample sales coming our way. So New Yorkers, get ready to empty your wallets this weekend. Uptown, downtown, and across the borough, we're planning our sample sale routes well. Although Black Friday isn't for another week, this weekend marks a winter sale showdown among some of our favorite boutiques and designers. We'll be sure to hit Steven Alan's much-talked about blow-out as well as pick up a few gifts for the guys in our life at Surface to Air and Obedient Sons & Daughters… and, who are we kidding? A few items for ourselves, too. After this weekend, we may need a bailout of our own.18 ways to save on the best styles below.
