Superstar Saver: Good to Ask

Good to Ask

The other day I was shopping around at Lucky Brand. A bucket of shoes caught my eye. They were brightly colored flats similar to the popular Tom's. When my sister went up to purchase a new pair of jeans I picked up the shoes and asked about the missing price tag. To my surprise the employee told me that they were on sale for 89 cents! Yeah, that's right 89 cents! They were originally ticketed at 49.00. Now that is a mark down that I could not resist.

Check 'em out :)

Have you had good results from missing price tags?

Penny-Pinching Past

Since I was little my mom(the Coupon Queen) has taught me to save money and live frugally. Of course moms are always right...but back then I still thought I knew it all. So, I was convinced that money grew on trees and I should be entitled to whatever I wanted no matter what the price tag read.

Of course I quickly realized that that wasn't true. But, it wasn't until recently when I went off to college and became more financially independent that I really understood the importance of everything my mother had always told me.

This blog is my attempt at sharing tips on how to save, where to find steals and deals, and of course a space where I can gloat at a fantastic find.

Bargain Basics

To start off I have two basic guidelines for bargain shopping:
1. Love the hunt
2. Only buy gold

First, love the hunt. Bargain shopping is always a hunt. It's like sifting through cubic zirconium in search for the real diamond. I'll be honest bargain hunting takes patience and time. So don't expect to get a good deal when you're on a strict time constraint.

Secondly, only buy gold. This is a simple rule that I still have trouble with today. By this, I simply mean you cannot go into a store, find something you like, jump up and down when you see a clearance tag and buy it. You must first ask yourself, "Am I going to really use/wear this?" and "Will I find a better deal somewhere else/at a different time?"

And now you're on your way to huge savings!
