Shopping Tips to Find Great Deals

Although I havent posted some of the great deals I find from time to time at my fave stores TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross and Forever 21... I must share important tips on how to find those hidden treasures at these great stores.

Shop during the week, very seldom on weekends. 
less crowds, organized merchandise - its so much easier to find colors, sizes and dressing rooms are free
 
Shop during the day or early evenings.
more than once I've stopped by TJ on my way home after work and they were just taking out new merchandise to the floor.

Bring a list with you. 
I sometimes take inventory of the pieces I need, such as brown pair of slacks, new jacket, tops, etc.  This way I TRY to focus on my list and control my impulses :)

Thou shall not pass a great deal... if in clereance, or an irresisteble price. 
I've purchased party dresses, winter clothing when not particularly looking for them... but the discount and price were so low, I knew I loved it, and when the occassion arrives, I'm prepared. 

Get in - Get out
Don't spend too much time in one store.. if nothing caught your eye within the first 15 minutes.. don't force to grab someting just because - you wont be happy once you get home

Set a Budget 
always ask yourself do I need it? do I love it? can I afford it?  the most rewarding shopping experience is the one where you know you didnt break the bank. 

Share with your friend
your friends are your best allies, they will too share great deals and cool info from websites .... see my buddy sent me this link from Ross stores...  thank you!
