Hyper-trendy dark-denim drop-crotch jeans are $228, down from $325.

CARTE BLANCHE
Just when everyone thought Cheap Mondays couldn’t get any cheaper, jeans at this store are now $55 (down from $69).

HOME

Floor models are up to half off, and promotional items are marked down by 20 to 55 per cent at this temple to modernism, including the oak-veneer Wave bed, going for $1,297 (down from $2,000). 570 Queen St. W., 416-362-5222, blvdinteriors.com.

DEXTERITY
The fine furnishings store is boasting a slew of deals, including 10 per cent off furniture and 25 per cent off other items. But don’t trust their math: we saw a cognac-hued sofa by the B.C. designer Van Gogh going for $1,195 (down from the original $1,579), and a bamboo-inlay wooden box was slashed to $70 from $140. Until July 19. 773 Queen St. W., 416-703-6185.

ROOMY HOME INTERIORS
In anticipation of its late-August reno, the store has discounted many of its floor models by 25 to 50 per cent. Roomy Home Interiors specializes in space-saving designs for the condo crowd—the kind of customers who appreciate the irony of owning something called the Irony chair ($110, down from $275). They’ve also discounted paintings by the local artist Danielle O’Connor Akiyama. 232 King St. E., 416-203-6813, roomy.ca.

STYLEGARAGE
Score 20 per cent off all Gus*Modern upholstered goods, which includes most of the sofas and chairs in the shop. The sleek virginal-white Trudeau chair is down to $920; better yet, the not-so-virginal black leather incarnation is $1,160 (much more befitting of its namesake). July 16 to August 16. 938 Queen St. W., 416-534-4343, stylegarage.com.
