Good baby

Flower power

Pocket change
If you love a good $35-or-less sale table (as if anyone doesn’t), be sure to hit DC Sample Sales (96 Spadina) before May 8, where you can find ’em crammed full with all the major street labels. Or cruise the rest of the sale, where all prices are slashed by up to 80 per cent . Cash only. 416-871-4431, www.dcsamplesales.com.
Twoonie toes
In an attempt to clear out the rather large stock of discontinued OPI nail polishes – y’know, the ones with the heavy staying power and tongue-in-cheek names – the Beauty Institute (2920 Bloor West) is selling off the professional-grade polish (valued at approximately $13) for only $2 a bottle. Notice the address? Yup, the TTC really is the best way of getting there. 416-239-0642.
Psst…
More to follow in next week’s edition, but for those in the know, consider taming your inner consumaholic this week and with the money you save, let ‘er rip next weekend (May 5 to 7) at the infamous Reia Sample Sale being held at 590 King West, 2nd floor. Thursday and Friday 9 am to 8 pm, Saturday 10 am to 5 pm. 416-777-9722, www.reiasamplesale.com.
