That way if it goes on sale I can buy and return if they don't do price adjustments. Same with online purchases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-shopping-tricks#post-190666 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:00:52 +0000 chewyspaghetti 190666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found out that if you go to your mall's website, often there are printable coupons available that are not available elsewhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-shopping-tricks#post-190609 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 11:29:59 +0000 April 190609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same with the 00 size at Ann Taylor, Laura. You have to ask for it because they don't stock it but they sometimes have one hiding that was returned.</p> <p>I'm no shopping wizard, but I never buy online without googling around for a promotion code. I love sites that allow you to apply more than one code to a single order. </p> <p>The number one rule for any sort of discount shopping, in my mind, is "check back frequently." Sites like 6pm and SmartBargains and places like Nordstrom Rack are often out of something one time and then suddenly it's back -- briefly. That's when you pounce. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-shopping-tricks#post-190572 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 06:32:29 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 190572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gap and Banana Republic don’t carry Talls in store, and BR doesn’t carry 16s, but my local stores often have them in the clearance section, because people return their mail-order items to the store. They’re usually marked down a ludicrous amount because they’re one-offs. Do you have any similar tips or tricks for getting a great deal or snagging a popular item? </p>
