That said, I'd like to share some of the bargain sites I frequent:
Variety of Items
HauteLook
This site requires membership, but it's free! Once you're a member, you have access to rotating sales for various brand name clothing, shoes, cosmetics, jewelry, home decor, etc. The sales are usually 50-80% off the retail prices. The only con is that shipping can take weeks. Don't expect to receive your purchases quickly as with other online shopping.
Examples of my purchases:
- Lorac Eyeshadows
- Urban Decay Lip Gloss
- NYX Cosmetics
- Body Shop Shopping Pass (worth $50; paid $29)
- 4-in-1 Serving Tray (fruit tray/punch bowl/pie plate/lid)
15DollarStore
The name says it all - everything on this site is $15! I have found numerous cute tops, pants, sweaters, etc. I usually go to this site more for clothes. I've made few shoe or accessory purchases. Another plus - free shipping when you spend $100.
Urban Original
This is a site I go to for affordable AND adorable shoes; from pumps to knee-highs to booties to thigh-highs. They also have clothes, accessories, swim wear, etc. Free shipping on orders of $50 or more.
