I'm so excited to see my online purchases add up!</p> <p>@purplepumps I totally agree on the never absolutely having to buy! I just bought a super nice Sampsonite suitcase at TJMaxx because it was such a good deal. I could have used it a few months ago for a trip to Europe, but they were too expensive then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-bargain-shopping-secrets#post-517688 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 13:23:06 +0000 shopaholic 517688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: DITTO on this "But the biggest thing I find that helps is never *having* to buy anything at the moment, so that you can wait for a good sale/deal... or being able to guess what you may need and buying it if its a great deal to use in the future."</p> <p>I always buy when I see a good/great deal and would rather save or wait for when it's needed then to have to buy when I need something and pay full price. </p> <p>Because of that strategy, I just constantly keep my eyes peeled for clearance, sales, etc. I also have mentioned it a lot on HB, but I'm a big fan of scouring TJ Maxx and Marshalls for anything and everything. For online stuff, I always like to price comparison shop and use eBates for cash back. </p> <p>For Baby Gap, I shop now a lot on Tuesdays for the additonal % off with card holders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-bargain-shopping-secrets#post-517545 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 12:32:50 +0000 PurplePumps 517545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I check slickdeals.net and fatwallet.com anytime I need to buy anything. Fatwallet also has cash back for just about every site out there. I always check my credit card bonus cash back first though. If you don't mind signing up for spam, lots of sites also send out coupons once in a while. But the biggest thing I find that helps is never *having* to buy anything at the moment, so that you can wait for a good sale/deal... or being able to guess what you may need and buying it if its a great deal to use in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-bargain-shopping-secrets#post-517540 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 12:31:32 +0000 Bao 517540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get a lot of my deals by buying used. Especially clothes for LO and myself. I always buy sale items and love clearance sections! Target will go through and clearance out a lot of their stuff at once and it is awesome! We have a thrift outlet near us and that place is amazing! I just made a trip on Saturday and got 2 boxes of 144 ct Huggies diapers for $12 each. Regularly they are $37.99 per box. I also got some toiletry items for 70% off. I like clearance racks at The Children's Place, Carters and Crazy 8. Buying store brand is a great way to save too. Also, buying in bulk I find can save money some of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-bargain-shopping-secrets#post-517531 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 12:28:14 +0000 fussygal 517531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are your favorite websites/stores for getting great deals or that have good reward programs? Do you have a bargain shopping strategy? I know a lot of places do mark downs on Thursdays, so I try to hit them up that afternoon. Also, I never buy anything full price from places like Gap and Loft that send out coupons often. </p> <p>I'd love to lean how and where everyone finds their deals! </p>
