The Deal: Get 50% off clearance items at OldNavy.com with the code: HALFOFF
The Deal: Last day to get an extra 30% off already reduced sale items at Banana Republic with code: SAVE30
The Deal: Shop the Sale Selection at Endless.com and Save
The Lowdown: At so many retailers, a “sale” means you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel style-wise, so you have to be selective to find a real value (and not just something “cheap”). That being said, after searching through the sale options at Endless.com , you won’t have to look too hard to find something inexpensive and fashionable.
To make life easier, we always organize our search by price (low to high), and stop looking when we’ve reached our budget limit. There’s a bit of flotsam to wade through (we’re really not in ...
The Deal: Save up to 80% at the Semi Annual Blue Sale at Bluefly.com
The Lowdown: Let’s get one thing straight—at Bluefly you’ll always find big discounts on designer goods, which is why we’ve got in our top ten bookmark rotation. Discounts, of course, mean just that—lower prices, but not necessarily cheap. The flip side, of course, is that you’re getting, in most cases, high quality designer goods for much less than retail prices.
Most of us budget-savvy shoppers avoid designer denim like the plague—not because we wouldn’t love a pair but because the prices are usually enough to ...

The Deal: Save up to 30% off select styles during the Modern Workwear Event at Banana Republic
The Lowdown: We talk a lot about sprucing up the basics you already have as way to stay up-to-date on a budget, but let’s face it—every now and again, those basics need replacing too. So with 30% off workwear at Banana Republic, now is the time to evaluate what you’re ready to update (and don’t forget to donate your old pieces to someplace like Goodwill).
The key—stick with needs and not wants. You might gravitate towards that cool mandarin-collar jacket (and it is pretty chic) but if what ...
The Deal: Take an additional 65% off clearance at Arden B.
The Lowdown: When we’re in the mood for some club/nightlife/out with the girls gear, oh how we love an Arden B. sale. Workwear is great and all, but sometimes a girl needs a metallic jacket. So sue us.
Enter Arden B. clearance, where we found this leatherette (aka “pleather”) bomber jacket for $59 (regularly 98 bucks), and this Leatherette Moto Jacket, also on sale for $59. Okay—so maybe you don’t need a metallic bomber jacket, so here’s something slightly more practical—you can’t go wrong with a pencil skirt , and this

The Deal: YOOX.COM Sale - up to Extra 60% off Men, Women & Kids Collections.
The Lowdown: To get the most out of a sale like this at Yoox, you need to understand that when you click the “Under $50” link, you will get mostly graphic t-shirts, underwear, and wallets. If those aren’t the things you’re in the market for (especially for an average of around $30 apiece), we’d suggest a different approach.
Where we’d start? We find that Yoox has attention-getting shoes—and on sale, they’re a worthwhile value and can add a lot to your standby basics. Our picks, all under $50:
1. BI 4 ...
Read MoreThe Deal: Save 50% off or more on the styles you want to wear right now, online only at Nordstrom.com.
The Lowdown: As budget shoppers, we love that the winter markdowns come early enough for us to pick up some fashionable items we’ll still get plenty of use out of (unless you’re in the Florida Keys, a long cold winter still stretches out mercilessly ahead of us ...).
We always wait for a sale at Nordstrom, because while their regular prices will set us back more than we’d like, on a sale we can pick up quality pieces for about the same amount we’d spend on a lesser item at, say, ...
The Deal: Shop Steve Madden’s selection of boots on sale now under $100
The Lowdown: There’s still plenty of boot weather left in the season (and if temperatures keep going the way they are, we may be donning them all the way ‘til June . . . ) so quality boots for less are still on the TBF shopping radar.
Some of Steve Madden’s boots—even the ones on sale—are still way outside of our footwear budget line item (which, these days, is sadly lacking) so we’re zeroing in on those under a hundred bucks. Which still ain’t cheap, but in terms of value, we’re picking classic styles so ...
