Shopping sites sale
Websites like
asos.com
and
highstreetfash-
ion.com
always put items on sale towards
the end of each season. These items are
priced very reasonably but sell like hot
cakes! Sign up for email alerts and check
the websites regularly so as not to miss
those items that you have been eyeing.
Local online marketplaces
mudah.my
is a local Malaysian website
where you can find just about anything
that you need including clothes, shoes
and accessories. Similar to Craigslist in
the United States,
mudah.my
features
ads from people who are selling personal
hand-me-downs and ready stock items at
reasonable prices. The best part is that the
prices are negotiable and you can save a
lot on postal charge by arranging for cash
on delivery.
Members-only sale
Department stores like Isetan and Parkson
often close their stores to the public to
let their membership cardholders shop
and enjoy the marked down price of the
items storewide before everyone else. Take
advantage of these days which normally
take place before major festive seasons
and school holidays.
Awise shopper always knowwhere to shop for less.
Bargain Hunter
S
hopping
for the best deals is like a military maneuver. One needs to
plan ahead do some research as to where to go for the best bargains.
Why pay more when you can get them for less? When we say less,
we are talking about up to 90% markdown from the original price.
Factory outlet stores
We are not specifically referring to the one with the red logo and Facebookmembership
programme. There are several different stores here that offer branded, and sometimes
designer, goods for as low as 10% off the original price. Why are these items cheap in
they first place? These items are actually rejected stock, not necessarily because the
have defects on them. Most of these items are stock that have been returned because
of over-shipping. You can easily find high-street brands like Zara, H&M, GAP, Pull &
Bear as well as designer items from Brook Brothers, Calvin Klein, Armani and Michael
Kors at any of these outlet branches.
Warehouse sales
Look out for banners and announcements of brands warehouse sales on Twitter, as well
as Facebook. Items sold are 100% authentic and the price can sometimes be almost
unbelievable. Sneakers can go for as low as RM10 and office shirts are sold in bulk.
You may need to squeeze your way through the crowd and bear the long queue at the
checkout but it really is worth it.
