1. subscribe to email updates from the brand name stores. Retailers love to email coupons to their customers. You can get up to 50% off so watch for these emails. Take note, many of these retailers now accept coupons from mobile phones. That way you will not forget to print it.
2. Go to the sale rack! Some may think that the only thing in the clearance aisle are the broken items... think again! I have been able to purchase awesome deals from the sale racks. Sometimes you can also use the coupons sent to you on the clearance items which slashes more off the price! Of course, you'll have to check the fine print on the coupon to make sure it can be used.
3. Buy at the end of each season. If you can wait to get that fabulous winter jacket, then wait until the end of the season. This is typically around January to the end of February. Retailers mostly try to sell off their winter gear to clear out space for the spring items.
4. Buy on ebay. Ebay will have sellers that are typically getting rid of their old brand name designer clothing. You would surprised at all the options available. The best thing is, most of these could be brand new and never used.
5. Buy from thrift stores! If you have the time and patience to look through each rack, I bet you can find brand name clothing in there. I purchased Tommy Hilfiger, Jones New York, DKNY and Guess clothing many times at thrift stores.
6. For Holiday gift shopping, the best time to look for sales are during Remembrance day weekend, Black Friday weekend, and a few weeks before December. Don't forget the after holiday shopping. You can get humongous discounts after the holidays. So, if you're too stuffed to eat more holiday dinners after the 25th, go out and shop and burn off the calories!
Happy shopping!
