Fashion Advice: Budget Shopping Tips for Busy People
Q: I’m a girl who has a love of fashion, but not a lot of time to go scouring through the racks looking for the real steals. I know this must be possible, so my question to you is what are some tips for people who want a bargain, but have little time?
A: You do not have to spends hours shopping each week to find great deals on designer fashion.
General budget shopping tips for busy people.
The first rule of budget shopping is to go on the weekdays. Besides missing the long weekend lines, most stores put out new merchandise and markdown existing items on Tuesday-Thursdays. Another tip is when entering a store, head straight for the back or side racks. Most retail stores place their new, more costly items along the aisles and in the front of the store. Another way to save time is to sign up for email alerts to your favorite department stores. Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales and Macys, all have email alerts that notify you of a sale days before it happens allowing you to plan accordingly.
Shopping online is great option for bargain shoppers who have a limited amount of time. Online discount stores like Bluefly.com, SmartBargains.com, Overstock, and YOOX .com have some great designer fashions at low prices and allow you to shop without leaving your computer.
Happy Shopping

Great tips! I follow them myself. I also visit shops just an hour before closing after work so that I can be the first to see the new merchandise being arranged for the next day!
You can also look on eBay. It’s sometimes hit or miss but you can find some great fashions and incredible prices.
