I used to like Century 21 more than I do lately; on my last couple of visits I've found nothing I want to buy. In the past, they'd have some great finds - Paul Smith dresses, Emilio Pucci blouses, etc. As for discounts, sometimes they are very good but things aren't always cheap (for example, you'll find a $1,200 dress discounted down to $700). It's definitely luck of the draw, despite the fact that they have a big selection. I've been luckier in their housewares department where it is easier to find high quality sheets, towels, etc. I also like their shoe department - a good selection of expensive brands, but hit or miss in terms of sizes. Service is almost non-existent but they have a lot of check out clerks, so once you find what you want you'll get out quickly. Nice to have in Brooklyn, but not always the best shopping experience.
