Designer style for less coin

Look, I don’t drop money on cereal because that’s stupid. I’m not bothered about what kind of cereal I eat, mostly. I get something decent for free with coupons and I’m cool with that. I’m not even awake when I’m eating cereal, you know? What do I care.

I am bothered to look hot when I go out. I won’t buy my clothes at Wal-Mart. (I might at Target but Target is the bomb, alright.) That said, I prefer to buy several pieces than to dump a lot of money into one. I buy good quality designer knock offs because I like the style but don’t care about the label.

If you won’t compromise on your style, check out the links below to get designer pieces for less.

6pm.com is a popular discount retailer, with most sales focused on shoes though they’re known to have some clothing and bags, etc on occasion. This weekend, you can purchase ALL Annie Footwear for just $5.95 each pair!  That is legit AWESOME – to get a pair of shoes for less than $6!

Another favorite site of mine is Ideeli. They are pretty well known and I’ve placed several orders with them for jewelery and shoes. They’ve had Gucci, Calvin Kline, Betsey Johnson, Kenneth Cole sales all recently. They even had a Circulon cookware sale that I missed out on where I could have picked up an awesome 5.5qt $120 saucepan for like $37.  I nearly fucking cried, okay. They occasionally get some great kids sales going, too. I can handle Ideeli’s prices better than most.

Gilt Groupe is very popular and has similar sales as Ideeli. I love their kids sales, even to window shop. Their prices range from between $50-100 usually to up in the thousands for high end watches. Their prices are still a significant cut from the label’s suggested price, regardless.

Editor’s closet has a variety of sales- skincare, home furnishings, clothes, shoes, etc. They have all the top names: Lacoste, D&G, Andrew Clark, etc. There’ve been several ALMOST buys for me there, but I’ve yet to pick anything up.

These sites are all invite only, but I’ve given you invite links for each because I’m fucking cool like that.

Badjoan is open to all without invitation. It’s worth checking out occassionally but I’ve yet to be tempted by their sales.

Here’s 20% off at the Container Store. Mail someone who cares.

20% off at the Container Store until November 1.  To shop online, use code savenow during checkout.

Kohl’s 15% off, EXPIRES TONIGHT.  Also they are running their Kohl’s cash promotion, which means you receive $10 in Kohl’s Cash for every $50 you spend.

Hipster cheapasses can save 20% at Hollister. I have never seen a Hollister coupon (then again, I don’t shop there because I’m not a fucking hipster or a size 2. I AM bitter, thank you). This expires October 31.

Cheap(er) and Natural

There are a number of coupons for natural/healthful products available on Coupons.com right now:

Idle hands, devil’s playthings, etc.

I am not looking forward to being cooped up this winter inside, I can tell you that right now. I hope more fun things like this are going on, otherwise I’ll be planning some riotous playdates. It’s simply more fun when I know that I won’t have to pick up the mess.

TODAY TODAY TODAY

Saturday (10/24), Lowe’s is having a workshop for kids. The project is the Frankenstring Magic Trick Kit pictured above. It’s open to the first 50 children to register AND be present at each store. The target age group is 1st grade – 5th grade.

Go HERE to register.

TOMORROW TOMORROW I LOVE YA TOMORROW

Take your kiddos to Micheal’s on Sunday (10/25.) To help them get ready for Halloween they will have free paint supplies to decorate a T-shirt. You will have to buy a T-shirt but if you use one of the coupons in their store flier you should be able to get it fairly inexpensively.

Plus, while you wait for your kids to finish they will be demonstrating how to make adult masks. Find out more details HERE.

Free Nut clusters? Sounds painful.

I’m actually really excited about this, because I (reluctantly, even) tried these (for free via coupons a month or so ago) and now I LOVE them. I definitely gave a fist pump at this deal, because I have 4 $1.60 coupons to get some more freebies.

Kroger stores have a sale running in General Mills Granola Bars. Buy 4 in one transaction, instantly receive $4 off, which makes them $1.50 each per box. When you use coupons with this (there are $0.40/1 coupons here and here and ecoupons here and here), you can get them very inexpensively after the coupons.

Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters are included in this deal, so if you have the $1.60/1 coupons from the Psst! mailing or printed out from this post, these will be free after the coupons:

Buy 4 bags of Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters at $2.50 each
Use 4 $1.60/1 coupons
Get $4 instant discount
Free plus overage after coupons and instant discount

There are also $1/1 coupons here and here and $1/1 ecoupons here and here, if you don’t have the $1.60/1 coupons. This would make them $0.50 each after the coupons and instant discount–which is nothing to shake a stick at. Limit two instant discount rewards per transaction.
