Bargain Shopper

I love a bargain.

I love a sale.

I love buy one get one free.

I'd like to think that I don't pay full price for many things.

Having said that I don't think I am a cheap skate either. 

I usually have an idea of how much I want to spend on an occasion, then see what I can get for that money.

Either that or I know what I want to buy and then I search stores and Internet to see how cheap I can get it.

I usually do well.  The only person who is a better bargain shopper than me is my best friend, she ALWAYS gets a bargain.

There is a job at Westfield's for their suavest shopper.  I would love to apply except that it is based on fashion and I have to say, that is not my forte.  Toys I can do.  Children's clothes I can do.  Latest fashion not so much.

This is the job - http://westfield.com.au/aucentres/westfieldinsider/index.html

How cool would that be?

So, since fashion is not my thing I thought I might give away some of my secrets.  Well not really BUT I will share with you where I find my bargains.

And maybe you well share some bargain tips with me?

So here are some of my favourite online sites:

At Oz Sale I have found some good bargains.  Some Calvin Klein underpants for my son for cheaper than I could buy underwear from Best and Less.  He loves them.  Also some cheap shoes and clothes.  I must confess sometimes I look at the prices and think that is NOT  bargain and then other times, I think WOW.

This site is good because although a lot of the site are American there are some Australian ones and when I get the codes for Pumpkin Patch I tend to go shopping on line!!  The latest one I was notified about was spend over $75 (easy done) and get 25% off!  Not bad!!

I also sign up to receive email notification of sales.  We receive emails from

Wow site and sound - we got buy one get one free tv.

Myer - know about upcoming sales even if you are not shopping regularly.

Toys R Us - they have sales and deals on all the time.

KMart - will have online offers only as do Big W.

Target - nothing new here but if you don't get the catalogues then its good.

Ticket Tek Newsletter - I don't often get to go to events but at least I know they are coming and get advance tickets if I wanted.

Mr Toys - now they always have a bargain and something on sale.  Great for birthday parties, you can get a good gift and a great price.

Really the list is endless.  I know I have other sites that I have found fantastic bargains at.  If you are interested I can share more.

I would really like to hear from you too.

Because honestly, who doesn't love shopping.
