I must say that bargain shopping for me is a money saver and it is actually a lot of fun. I buy almost everything on clearance. A lot of the present that i give people come from a store named Bealls Outlet and most of the time everything i buy is under 10 dollars or way less than that. I also shop at Ross and Kohls but on the clearance racks only. I have to buy things for more than once person most of the time so im always looking to save some money. Even when i go to the grocery store i have coupons to save.

Usually when I go bargain hunting, I'm attending sample sales which means that there's two ways to shop. There's the "Well this is __% off of its original price" method or the "Well this is $___" method. So usually when I shop, I'm hunting for designer labels and I have to remember that while the price still might be moderately high, it is usually a good chunk cheaper than it would of been if I'd tried to purchase it at full price. Other than that, I usually don't shop for bargains regardless of how much sales can and do tempt me.

i love the bargain racks at Ross/TjMaxx/Target etc, but i also do coupons and double coupons for groceries. Last night , i went with just some basic coupons I had and I saved 40 bucks. we try to only eat at restaurants that i have a coupon for and only once a week.

Here we have stores called Poundland where everything is £1 sterling. They are incredibly popular at the moment and I have to say that the quality of most items is reasonable. Very good for household necessities and sometimes stationery and cards. They have taken over from Woolworths as the 'dime' stores!

I love to bargain shop. of course that's the only place I love to look is the clearance isle's, and believe me I find some great finds. I found a purse that was normally 19.99 I got it for 3.99 so that for me was worth it. I also have found some great scrapbook paper for .10 cents when they were normally .99 cents, books normally 9.99 got them for .81 cents so bargain shopping is so much fun even if I don't buy anything i know where to go and when to look. what fun!!! I do give them as gifts or sometimes give to friends and my kids and do keep something for myself. but hey it's worth the find. Bizmom24
