I think about shopping – a lot. Probably too much. So when I do have the extra cash to treat myself, I’m on the hunt for a great deal. I rarely buy items at full price and I find that I feel so much better about my purchase when I get it on sale! Here are my top resources for successful bargain hunting: -Subscribe to email lists for your favorite stores or web sites. It’s free and they’ll send you coupons and sale alerts before non-subscribers hear about them! Some of my favorites…Nine West, Express, Loehmann’s, and Piperlime. I’ve gotten a few great discounts thanks to their email coupons.
-Join sites like Shop It To Me, Rue La La, or Gilt Groupe. These sites are revolutionizing online shopping - they get you the greatest deals from your favorite stores on the web. I promise you’ll find jaw-dropping discounts on top name designers. Many of these sites are invitation only so find a friend who belongs and have them send you an email invite!
-Shop at off-price specialty retail stores such as Loehmanns, TJMaxx, Marshalls, etc. These stores carry a wide range of name brand designer fashions and often offer coupons on top of their already slashed prices. My friends will attest I find some of my best pieces at these stores!
-Visit coupon web sites. Retailmenot.com is a good one that offers printable coupons as well as coupon codes for online shopping. You type in your shopping destination and they’ll come up with available discounts.
-Read style magazines. You can find discount codes in magazines such as People Style Watch Magazine or Lucky Magazine that have special offers for their readers.
-Shop Ebay or Amazon. See my previous post below!
Happy shopping!
