Summary:"Right now, they give you more for your money," [Marge Tortella] said Thursday as she left Boscov's at South Hills Village. "Boscov's has better sales and fewer restrictions on using coupons. [Macy]'s was always my favorite, but its prices seem higher now." Leaving Kohl's in Bethel Park, [Debbie Gaab] said she likes that store and Macy's, too, for different items. Of Kohl's she said, "Their discounts are on everything," so there's less concern about hunting for items with the best markdowns. Monica Stone, of North Fayette, shopped at the Downtown Macy's yesterday. "I bought a comforter that was 60 percent off. It was $250, and I got it for $95," she said. "I was very much impressed with Macy's."
