Brief case
Yes, the summer sales are over. Yes, the back-to-school promotions are done. But retailers who are really committed to clearing out floor space for fall inventory are still offering some items at final clearance prices --you just need to ask where the really good deals are hiding. Eddie Bauer has summer stock at deep discounts. One irresistible deal is a very versatile, heavy-duty nylon expandable briefcase with lots of organizers, from their Student series -- currently marked down to $19.99 from $58 --plus an additional 10 per cent off with a scratch-and-save card that might even bag you a Compaq notebook. But once they sell out, they're gone. 50 Bloor West, 961-2525, and others.
