Tips for smart sale shopping

Jan 19, 2009 by FN's Trixie Reyna

shop_customers_shopping_262_1.jpgJanuary is arguably shopaholics’ favorite month, given the abundance of end-of-season sales!

As FemaleNetwork’s shopping blog, ShopCrazy, keeps us updated on the latest sales, this month’s issue of Cosmopolitan lets us in on a few “sale strategies” to help us make the most of sale shopping.

  • Take advantage of three-day sales on pay-day weekends by going early on a Friday, giving you first dibs on great finds sans the crowd.
  • Inquire about the return policy before buying sale items.
  • Always keep receipts.
  • Befriend salespersons and sign up for stores’ email lists so you are always updated on sales and promos.
  • Shop with a friend or a female family member so you can benefit from promos such as “buy one, get the next one at 50 percent off.” But if you’re alone and can’t seem to find a second piece you’d be willing to buy, let it go.
