Once Upon A Time, I was a LVN Nurse. Licensed Vocational Nurse working towards her RN, MSN until I finally got so exhausted & beaten-down by the revolving "PRE-REQUESITES SWINGING DOOR", where the College changed the required courses to enter eligibility "mode" to apply to enter the RN Program @ none other than the crookedness College this side of crooked; San Joaquin Delta College, where I obtained my LVN Graduation Certificate, after successfully completing my pre-requisite's for the LVN & RN Program, successfully & ethically...
Now how is this relevant to crafting this exclusive, for Yelp! ONLY review of Ross Dress for Less? You may be, pondering; or not.....
Well, it's not really relevant but as a nurse; nurses absolutely MUST TAKE CARE OF THEIR BACKS & FEET...
Now this is where the review begins....
Several months ago, I had 2 Ross gift-cards I needed to use and I was in a pinch, as to desperately needing a solid, long lasting (if at all possible) set of "sneaker shoes"...
Low & behold I've only washed them once in the time I've had them, less than 7 months I believe it is and they bounced-back, in better than ever shape! The outer shell was dirty due to this Valley Fever "Powdery Dirt" flying up in the air 24/7 & 365 days per annum...
So here are some photo's of what turned out to be, one heck of a great deal & a reliable pair of "sneakers"... It was brought to my attention, recently by my Mother, that I walk on the "outside" of my shoes... After learning of this no-no-engrained-behavior I began to become aware of that nasty habit, and set out to change it... Well, I'm here to tell you that it is harder than it appears... But I feel better & so do my feet when I DO NOT walk on the outsides of my feet...
Something else that I ADORE ABOUT THIS ROSS DRESS FOR(4)Less public storefront is their HOME DECOR... I don't usually shop for clothing here as it's pricing is out of my current restrictive "budget".... When I lived in Sacramento, California for several years, there was a Ross Dress 4 Less store, less than a mile from my home.... They had some really nice Home Decor pieces and great stuff for the ANIMAL BABIES that live with me as a family...
I'd shop here more, IF I possessed more financial resources,... I'm awaiting the results of my SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance), "Appeals Claim" & when that comes-thru=Resolves, I will be able to enjoy my trips here with or without my supportive Mom, as right now; she shops here for the family & for herself & I'd LOVE to afford the same luxury.... Or is it gifting? Both, both options, sound delightful... :)

The HOME GOODS Department, is immaculate with FULL SHELVES nearly 100% of the time. They must, have an immaculate, storage room, somewhere, within this clean, CLEAN, CLEAN, Storefront...
I look forward to being able, to, purchase their HUGE COFFEE & BEVERAGE "Mugs" for my coffee and tea's & hot-cocoa's with Great VALUE, Walmart Brand, FRUITY MINI-Marshmallows... They are DIVINE TO Indulge-In, not, but to enjoy as often as we like.... They are more fruity than the name brand which escapes me and has been around for decades & decades..... The lemon I think it is, isn't overly over-powering, but the flavors really compliment each other... I understand these exact, mini-marshmallows, FIGHT MORNING-SICKNESS & Honeymoon-Cystitis too.. Not claiming any medicinal properties here just sharing what I understand to be beneficial from reading, Internet Searches and Personal & Professional Experiences...Best wishes with that... Fruit can heal. Ginger is recommended almost exclusively for morning sickness due to pregnancy and is wonderful for plain-ol'-nausea. My Acupuncturist Dr. Shen here locally in Modesto, California, recommended I ingest "Candied Ginger" for my non-stop nausea & I wasn't pregnant at that time. It worked to alleviate the Nausea; period! End of Story...

Ross Dress 4 Less Storefront Market, also has a department with some great brands & affordable pricing on Makeup! I'm wanting to get some blush for my face, that I cannot recall the name of now but I used to get much attention when wearing it and so did my best-friend in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE, Al, aka: Alicia. We go way back and she always had support from her parents so she could afford the best in life when shopping & living...She's an only child...
Pet (Animal Babies & Babies!!!) as I refer to all of mine and I have a few too to care for each and every day... Their "Pet" area is usually, pretty, well-stocked and they have GREAT QUALITY BEDDING; Beds for them all as well, with a good variety to select from & they are affordable often under $25 dollars for an average sized velvet like material on some of them...
BEDDING! They have some really attractive Bedding & Bed Spreads maybe? but for sure, Comforter's.... I LOVE WHITE COMFORTORS!!!... I just picked up @ Goodwill, down th
