Beats headphones, local savings, ipads... Save money with Living Social and Groupon

It's Rewards Wednesday!!! Today I am going to discuss 2 websites that I have truly saved money with. These two sites are Living Social and Groupon!

These sites are not a gimmick. They are free to register and can really help you catch good deals in your area. Once registered, using your email, you are able to find savings in your area by utilizing your zip code. With both of these sites, you can save money at restaurants, nail salons, spas, stores, etc. You can even take pilates, Zumba, and boxing classes, to name a few, at a discounted rate. There are also trips, which include airfare, and hotel accommodations. There are electronics, such as iPads, bluetooth speakers, and beats headphones. Cell phone and tablet cases can also be bought via Groupon for a discounted price. In the past I have purchased gift certificates to stores like Banana Republic and have paid $25.00 or $35.00 and received a $50.00 gift card, which by the way make great gifts. :-) (Below example of their mobile sites: Groupon (left), Living Social (right))

There are so many deals and savings available from teeth whitening to laser hair removal and all deals are catered to your zip code. Both websites send you updates on available deals and you can always search them from your computer or smart phone device. Each site has their own free app that can be downloaded on your mobile device. Also in my experience, Groupon has really fast shipping, which has been free every time I have purchased something. Feel free to click on the links for Groupon and Living Social to check these sites out.

Shopping Online

     I love getting a good deal, and I shop online for the majority of the clothing that I wear. I find it a lot easier to find clothes and things that I like online versus thumbing through racks of clothing at stores. I probably only shop at the mall if I need something immediate, shopping at a discount store (like Marshalls or Nordstrom Rack), or if I’m really unsure of sizing, etc for a certain item.  I just want to share a couple of my favorite stores that I like to shop at online. I will periodically feature stores throughout my blog and please comment below if there are any online stores that you like to shop at that offer great deals.

     My first store and all-time favorite is Forever21. They offer free shipping when you spend $50.00 or more. I find it a lot easier to shop at Forever21 online versus in the store. Since I have so many clothes from there, I know how to shop and by my correct size according to the fit of the clothing. There’s everything from shoes to shirts to dresses and accessories. Another benefit to shopping online with them is that if necessary, you are able to return your online purchases at a local store instead of dealing with the hassle of mailing a product back to them and waiting for store credit, etc. There are hundreds of reasonably priced items that aren’t always found in store. So check out Forever21.com

     Another store that I like shopping at, particularly buying dresses from, is an online store based in Europe called Missguided. Its a trendy store, similar to Forever21. The first perk is that this store offers free shipping to the US and Canada, as well as a 15% off student discount. Their price ranges varies and they can accommodate any budget. They sell tops, dresses, shoes…you name it. I particularly have bought dresses from there in which I will feature in a separate posting. The material and fit has been good in everything that I purchased except for a skater skirt that I purchased. It was a little too big, but it was a great price and I plan on getting it tailored. This skirt was in numerical sizes and not in the standard small medium or large sizes. It’s important to know that they’re sizing is a little slightly different than American sizing so it is really important to pay attention to the sizing chart. Also it takes some time to get your items in since they are shipped internationally, so do not expect your items within a week with standard shipping. My things have usually been delivered, in about 2 weeks from the order being placed. Visit missguidedus.com for some great deals.
