JessicaShops: Deals at Birch Lane, BJ’s Wholesale, Torrid

Birch Lane: Last week I was invited to a sneak peek of Birch Lane's first outdoor furniture collection, which is described as "classic, traditional furniture that is comfortable and affordable." After sampling first-hand, I would have to agree. The quality is there, the designs are beautiful and the function works (deep, soft seating) — and many pieces are on sale for 25 percent off. Add to your outdoor investment with 15 percent off rugs through May 2 and up to 20 percent off accents and décor through May 10. Order online at birchlane.com.
