Steals outside of stores

There are multiple ways to also save money outside of stores. Often, the online branch of a store will have a better sale than the store itself. For instance, often online at Old Navy, they will have free shipping or something in addition to sale prices on the site that are not available in store. In that case, even if you end up spending more than you would in store to reach the $50 free shipping total, you would save more money, because you would be getting more product for that $50 than you would have in store. The only thing I have to say about this is just to make sure you can return the items in store or it will not be convenient for you at all. Be sure to check other sites before you shop to see if you can get the items cheaper by waiting a week or so to get them. :)

One of my favorite sites to visit daily is www.babysteals.com. Every day they offer a different name brand baby item at about 60% of a discount. It's wonderful if you have baby showers to shop for or if you have a baby yourself! They even have baby carriers and diaper bags on sale usually once a week! It's a great place to look for organic clothing and good baby music, etc.

Sometimes store coupons can be used online as well, using a little discount code that is usually found at the bottom of the coupon. Usually these coupons are coupons you are handed in store, when you check out or buy a certain amount of items at retailers like Kohls, Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, etc. Most store coupons from Target or Wal Mart or Kmart can not be used online, but Target does have the occasional coupon on their site you can use online. Target sometimes has special deals on beauty products if you order them from online as well.

Shopping online does take patience, as you can't be shopping for something you desperately need this week, but if you are willing to wait a bit, you can often save more money than if you bought it in store.

Be sure to factor in shipping when you shop online though, because sometimes with the shipping cost included, even sale prices turn out to not be any better than store prices.
