Charity shops

Now we all have 'that friend' who always does amazingly well scouring charity shops
but unfortunately if you're like me, getting lucky in one (so to speak) takes a hell of a lot of time, effort and luck!
However, it has been made easier lately by the introduction of websites such as the oxfam online shop.
With a quick scour of the site I just found a BNWT Ted Baker dress for £35.
Not only is it a bargain but it's also for a good cause.
Obviously your designer brands will cost a bit more than most charity shop goods but you're still saving a lot more than if you bought from the designer themselves.

They also offer free returns!

Further Reductions

Now we all love a good sale, but one thing many of us actually fail to do is to wait out the sales until we get the ultimate bargains! Many of us get excited by the prospect of saving money and could actually be saving a lot more by waiting a little longer for those further reductions, here are some good examples:

Bank sale: (Hundreds of items for a tenner or less!)

ASOS: (up to 70% 0ff)

Cheap every day fragrances!

So we're all guilty of buying expensive perfumes right? (I might have spent £80+ on an Armani one...)

However for every day wear, some stores often their own fragrances that are reasonably priced and pleasant smelling!

For example Zara and Next are just two shops that offer their own fragrances, at a significantly lower price than most designers, 

Don't get me wrong, I still wear Armani for a big night out, but for every day/work use one of the store fragrances does the job!

Another leather jacket bargain!

This time from ASOS :D

Bargain number 1 - THE LEATHER JACKET

For many, the leather jacket is a staple for every wardrobe, 
however, the price can be an issue. With allsaints selling
them for around £200-300+ it can make a lot of us wince!

Newlook have this beauty on further reduction for just...
£35!!!

*There may be limited sizes left now, but it's still worth  
a look in for such a good buy for a genuine leather jacket
