Welcome to another round of Saturday Steals! We’re shooting for seven or more entries this week (we set our sights high), so don’t be shy!

My Saturday Steal this week  is actually a month old, but I use it all the time, so it’s current in my mind. (Did I not say that you could use steals you got ages ago and still love? No? I guess that’s ’cause I just made it up. This whole thing is new to me; I’m making it up as I go along. Sorry for any inconvenience or annoyance this might be causing you. But, yeah. Feel free to use senior citizen steals…the ageds are people, too.)

It’s this coat from the Oakley Outlet store at the Arizona Mills Mall in Tempe, Arizona (a.k.a. my home away from home {not Oakley, but Arizona Mills [this was my first foray into the Oakley store, ever]}):

The original price tag on the coat said $150.00, and even at that, it would have been worth it.

This puppy has a Thinsulate™ inner liner around the hood, sleeves, and pockets (all those places where slippery nylon liner would feel extra cold in sub-freezing temperature):

And extended microfibre wrist cuffs for when your sleeves don’t *quite* meet your mittens:

And pockets galore for chapstick and iPhones™ and scribbled To Do lists and a spare dollar (if you have one [which I rarely do]):

And even one (that I will likely never use) for a lift ticket (it is a ski jacket, after all):

Of course, I don’t use this coat for any of that active stuff. Just for keeping my poor upper body from freezing on my long winter walks up here. But if I ever do get active in—What’s that called? Oh yeah, exercise—I will have just the sporty winter coat to see me through.

But really, the part I like best is the inner lining:

Because nothing says “I dress for myself” like a cute inner lining that nobody will ever see.”

So, like I said, this jacket would probably have been worth $150 (though I would have struggled to spend that much just because that is equivalent to 1.5 pairs of jeans or 300 DDPs), but I got it for …

…$60.

I can’t do the math, but I know that’s more than a 50% discount.

Now, I know I’ve gotten better steals, and I know I probably could have found a coat for cheaper, but this one has a magnet that holds the hood in place, and not every coat can say that for itself.

Only I’m a dumb-dumb and didn’t get a picture of that, but it looks just like this. Image from here.

If this is the last winter coat I ever buy (and it will be), it will be sixty bucks well-spent.

And what about you? Ready to share your steals?
