Bargain Shopping
Checked out the Gilt Groupe Warehouse Sale this past Saturday. Tickets were sold ahead of time on Gilt City for $5. There were four time slots (10am, 12pm, 2pm, & 4pm) but by the time we logged on, only the 2 and 4 pm time slots were left.
So, we got there at 2 pm and pickings were very slim. I kept wondering what kinds of steals I missed out on from the morning. After much digging, I found a couple things worth getting!
This Lauren Moffatt top for $35! Cannot wait to bust this out in the summer!
and these Cynthia Vincent sandals for $35 (down from $235)!
The friend I went with left empty handed and decided that she really doesn't enjoy shopping this way. While sample/warehouse sales, with piles of wrinkled clothes everywhere and a corner with a mirror for a dressing room, are not my favorite way to shop, I'll always go for the chance of finding a deal. It's actually kind of thrilling when you find a great piece at an even greater price!
Do you like bargain hunting? Or would you rather pay more for a comfortable shopping experience?
Oh, I think I'm in love with all of it! Well shopped. I love a bargain! xx
This sounds awesome...wish San Antonio had more of this type of thing!
I used to absolutely LOVE sample sale shopping when we lived in LA. I wish I went to the Gilt sale, but tickets sold out so fast. I also wish we had more of them in Chicago.
great deals especially on the Sandals! Loves it!! I'm not a fan of sample sale shopping tho because I NEVER FIND MY SIZE!!
I love sample type of sales. As long as they are organized. You would never find those deals otherwise.
Baby Shopaholic: I'm afraid this one was not organized at all! I really had to dig around in piles of stuff. But still worth it for me!
such great finds! i have to be in the mood for shopping experiences like this...

Awesome! I had no idea gilt did warehouse sales! I love looking at Gilt every afternoon but haven't bought anything yet.... Though one day I plan on taking advantage of it. :-)
Those wedges are gorgeous - and an awesome deal!
I always love a good deal - waiting for sales, using promo codes etc...but I don't like "competitive shopping" ...I hate having to hunt and fight for bargains...I'd rather pay a little more and not have to compete - but that's just my personality.
I admire those who have the talent and skill to get great deals :-)
Oooo, I wish I had known about this!!!!
I love bargain hunting. The steals make the hassle worth it :)
That top is adorable! And I am definitely a bargain hunter, being in school I have to be. Sadly they don't have sample sales anywhere near here, but I would love to go to one.
Cool...i actually like bargain hunting...but wopuld def do a personal experience too

Eeek! I don't know...I love bargains BUT it has to be minus all the hoopla that seem to come with sample/flash sales.
the thrill of hunting! i love it! but it is really disappointing when there is nothing left for you.
Just Better Together
I would to find stuff for me but for kids' stuff especially toys (over the holidays especially), I'd rather pay more than attempt to deal with the mad Toys R Us rush at the checkout lines
Lol! I got those same sandals!
From gilt too!
Those sandals are such a great steal. OMG!
I love a bargain - I don't really care where I find it but when I do it is the best!
great finds jiye !
Great finds!!! I especially love the shoes, wow!
I like your picks! I would LOOOVE to go to one of these... I wish I had heard about this! I live in Grand Rapids and the two hour drive would have definitely been worth it! (Even if it is $20 just to PARK in Chicago...grrr...)
I would choose shopping this way over buying the same brands at retail price ANY DAY. But only because I can't afford those brands or buy them when they are at retail price haha...
If I could afford it then I might but... I am 22 and don't see that day in my future anytime soon... :)
