Let's denote the sale price of the dress as \( d \) dollars. The regular price of the dress, which is 3 times the sale price, thus can be expressed as:
\[
\text{Regular Price} = 3d
\]
Janine has enough money to buy 2 dresses at the regular price. Therefore, the total amount of money Janine has is:
\[
\text{Total Money} = 2 \times \text{Regular Price} = 2 \times 3d = 6d
\]
Now, we want to find out how many dresses Janine can buy at the sale price of \( d \) dollars. To find this, we divide her total amount of money by the sale price:
\[
\text{Number of Dresses} = \frac{\text{Total Money}}{\text{Sale Price}} = \frac{6d}{d}
\]
Simplifying the above expression, we get:
\[
\text{Number of Dresses} = 6
\]
Thus, Janine can buy \( \boxed{6} \) dresses at the sale price.
