Discount Websites

09/11/12 | shopping

I love when things are on sale, discount, clearance, or better yet, free! Getting things at a discount gives me a natural high when I purchase something that should cost more but it does not. Discount websites are particularly enticing because it can only take a few minutes and you do not even have to hand over a credit card.

Some of the most dangerous shops I visit are high end websites such as Beyond the Rack, Haute Look, Gilt Group, and Rue La La.  I check out these websites every day and have purchased a real assortment of items from NYX eye shadow makeup brushes to a Michael Michael Kors Black Sequin Dress. These daily emails are dangerous especially when I see beautiful items that are 80% off or more! Click on any of the website logos for invitations to the site!

I also subscribe to many sites that offer new deals every day to those on their email list serve, but I have two favorites: Living Social and Groupon.  From Living Social I have purchased $20 at CVS that was a half price, a One-Year Subscription to Us Weekly Magazine, a Sweetgreen (delicious salad place) voucher, and a massage. From Groupon I have purchased a brunch for two, a custom airbrush tan, a photo on canvas, a massage and a DC to NYC bus trip.  Even though I have purchased more from GroupOn I have a soft-spot for Living Social,not only because I have friends who work there, but also the co-founder of living social went to my Alma Matter and was my convocation speaker when I graduated in May.
However, overall, my favorite discount website is Retail Me Not.  It is not a site that your purchase things from, just one place on the Internet that synthesizes coupon codes from across the net. At this website you type in the website name, from Target to Bergdorf , and a variety of discount codes appear that you can enter on the individual websites before you check out. I have found everything from free shipping to 30% off your total purchase. It is always worth the 60 second to check out this website before you check out; it could just save you quite a bit of money.
