If you’re not familiar with Aeropostale, that can only mean one of two things:  You’re over eighteen years old or you haven’t set foot in a shopping mall for quite some time.

Aeropostale is a mall-based clothing retailer targeting the teen demographic.  If you’re a teen, like to dress as if you are a high schooler, or have a kid at home with a taste for trendy-yet-safe mall fashions, it’s a great place to shop.

Aeropostale just annouced its plans to close its “Jimmy’z” stores, which were aimed at a slightly older crowd.  You’d think that announcing one’s intentions to close a chunk of a business might be a bad thing, but Wall Street doesn’t think so.  It appears as though Aeropostale might be doing things the right way in terms of company management.

The retailer also seems to be doing things the right way in terms of discounting its merchandise.  You can find printable Aeropostale coupons and online coupon codes fairly easily, giving you a shot at hitting the mall on a budget.

I did a quick check for a good Aeropostale coupon and found some great opportunities to shave down one’s bill.  CouponCabin featured five listings for the retailer, including some hefty %-off discounts.  Savings.com had a full page of sizeable discount deals.  BradsDeals had a few listings, too.  They also showed some of the now-expired codes, which evidence consistent offerings on the part of Aeropostale.

Coupon codes are only part of the story, though.  Aeropostale also runs some eye-popping sales.  Witness, for instance, their 70% off warehouse sale.  This doozy was featured in the Bargainist and included t-shirts for way under $10/ea.

Perhaps the best way to get your hands on a great Aeropostale coupon is to ask the company for the hook up.  How do you do that?  You sign up for their email list.  According to their subscriber page, you can get members-online online promotions and invitations to their very best private sales.  When you consider the fact that it only takes a few minutes to sign up to the list, becoming a member is a no-brainer for anyone who might want to purchase Aeropostale products.

Aeropostale does issue printable and printed coupons, too.  You can keep your eyes peeled for coupons in your local paper, or you can hunt them down online and print ‘em up yourself.  The coupon and bargain/frugality forums are a great place to look.  The printable coupons offer some very nice savings potential, too.  Consider these finds:

• I found one issued in December (now expired) that offered $10 off any purchase of $40 or more.
• At one point, there was an Aeropostale coupon that offered 30% off any purchase.
• Over the holidays you could take 25% off any purchase in excess of $100.

Those are just a few examples of the printable Aeropostale coupon offers that have been floating around online.  With a little digging, you’re sure to find some wonderful deals.

I’m not a big fan of the mall and when I am in a shopping center I usually steer clear of the joints specializing in teen fashions.  If I was in the market for some clothing for teenagers, however, I’d put Aeropostale on my list of places to stop.

It looks like they have some decent products and they’re certainly prepared to supply customers with some great savings opportunities.
