Sign Me Up Scotty


A key strategy to becoming A Savvy Buyer is to not only buy low, but to buy the best selections at the lowest price possible.  Getting an additional percent off can help tremendously.  An easy way to achieve that goal is to sign up for your favorite store’s mailing/email list and become a preferred member.

You want to join the lists so you’ll know about upcoming sales and be privy to pre-sale days, discounts, specials, etc.  A key advantage is to be able to shop for sales before the general public.  Your only other obstacles are the eBay{ers}. 
A 10% off coupon doesn’t motivate me to buy.  It has to be at least 20% or more.  Oh, and just to be sure we’re on the same page, the additional percent off should be for markdowns and sale items.  A percent off for “regular price” items is not a "buy me" incentive either.

But even if I don’t get an announcement regarding sales or discounts, before I go shopping I always go online to the store’s website {those so called coupon sites are starting to irritate me}, and check for coupons.   If you have the time and patience, you can check the coupon websites to see what they have that is still valid.

To be A Savvy Buyer you should use every advantage to get the best fashions at the lowest possible price, even if it means signing up and getting those endless emails from your favorite stores.   Check out some of my Savvy Buys, compliments of discounts, markdowns, and coupons.

What are some of your most Savvy Buys?

  1. i'm with you on that one - 10% discounts do absolutely nothing for me. one of my favorite stores is New York & Co. their email promos are the best i've seen thus far!

    i got a maxi dress for a penny at WetSeal during one of the closeout clearance events. buy 1 item off the clearance rack and get another for a penny.

    1. Thanks Miss Donna for the lead. I'll have to add New York & Co. to my "List."
