Look Like A Million Bucks…But Only Spend Five!

One of my FAVORITE commercials has to be the Progressive company commercials with my girl Flo.

The first thing I think of is…DISCOUNT!

Now while Flo may brag about the deals she can get you on car insurance I have a few secrets of my own on discount shopping when done the right way.

First, let me give you a few general shopping tips:

If you can’t think of how you would wear something, don’t buy it. Even if it is 5 bucks, if you were to continue to waste 5 bucks once a month you would waste 60 bucks a year; and that’s only 5 bucks! That’s almost a pair of Steve Madden‘s in fashion math and for my guys that’s one pair of Vans!

• Go shopping during the week, when there are fewer people in the stores. You’ll be much less frustrated and more likely to find that 3 dollar shirt hiding in the clothes rack.

 Outlet malls do exist! I must say parting with $20 for my MAC lip gloss(I love boybait for a pinkish nude) is just not a fun task. I recently found that there are beauty outlets at outlet malls. I found MAC for $7 and nearly fainted as well as other high end lines such as Bobbi Brown. One of my favorite outlet malls is Premium Outlets at Queenstown in Queenstown, Maryland.

• Don’t ignore the sales associate. They often will tell you the exact spot to look for things on sale. Remember, they want sales commissions so help yourself by helping them! More importantly if you have a friend or family that works in retail, get that discount!

Last but definitely not least, location is key. Prices will be higher where people make more money and lower where people make less. With that being said, shop larger stores like Macy’s, Sears, Kohl’s, and Target in more rural areas. Urban areas aren’t that helpful because prices are geared towards the higher income people in the city.

More discount tips and trends to come…stay tuned for the rest of this article!
