What are tips and tricks for bargain shopping?

E-bay?

I love to shop at the Prime Outlets and one of my other favorite places is TJ Maxx - I have picked up some great designer handbags there, especially those marked with a red tag in the clearance aisle. I also go to, believe it or not, Goodwill - they actually have a lot of new merchandise - the one in my area gets all of the items Target doesn’t sell and then donates to GW. Yesterday they had a set of shabby chic bedsheets, brand new in the sealed package for $7.99 - at Target they still sell for around $40-$50 for a twin set. Last summer, my daughter found a vintage Gucci suitcase there for $2.99 and she found a never worn pair of some limited Converse tennis shoes for 99 cents - she actually resold both items on ebay for one heck of a profit. The Gucci went for $150 and the shoes sold for $101. Not bad for a $3.98 investment!

If you’re looking for Kohls deals, forget about www.kohlsbargain.com and www.bargainfind.net. Go here: http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?t=901593 . It’s the best of both worlds: lots of deals and also some chat. Plus the deals are posted days, sometimes weeks before they’re copied over to the other two sites. Go to the last pages for the most recent deals. Runs 24/7!

WOW thats amazing about her selling those things on ebay! I love to shop on ebay and at tj maxx, marshalls, ross, wal-mart, burlington coat factory, home goods, and I love to catch the sales at all of the department stores too! I know where there is a goodwill in one of the “richer” areas around where I live so I will give it a try! thanks to both of you!
