Who doesn’t love a bargain?  We all do and especially this year when we are all trying to make our dollars stretch that little bit further, it’s great to find a place where you know you are getting a good deal.

Well I have found this really cool site called 1 day sale where everyday you get an email telling you what the special for the day is and you do have to be in quick as it really is for one day only. 

These really are good deals, for example today’s special is Sarah Jessica Parker Perfume TODAY ONLY $34.99 normally $79.95 saving $44.00. 

Also today only an 8 piece container set $15.99 normally $33.99 saving $17.00.  Everyday there is a different products on special and it is a huge range.  There has been sleeping bags, all sorts of clothing, mens’ boxer underpants, Canterbury shirts, a 12Inch LCD TV, oh and one of my favourites was the Leapfrog Tag Reading system.

So the list is endless and you never know what you are going to get each day, the discounts are huge.  With Xmas coming up it’s well worth keeping your eye out for a great gift idea, at a fraction of the normal cost.

Once again if you live in Auckland this could be your lucky day, I have no idea what is going to be there in terms of stock but if you find yourself at a loose end and in need of something to do, maybe you could check this out.

For those of you who have spent anytime in the UK you will be familiar with the name Habitat, but you may also know that it is a brand Nest here in New Zealand has stocked for sometime.  If it is your thing then Wednesday is going to be your lucky day, the decision has been made that Nest will no longer stock Habitat and therefore need to clear what stock they have left.

Starting at 8.30am on Wednesday Nest has the first ever  Wellington warehouse clearance,  with wholesale prices.

Be in quick at wholesale prices the stock will defiantly go, oh and while you are there you may find something fantastic in their new Nest range out for Summer.  Good luck.

It’s always a happy day when Trelsie has one of her sales and if you have ever coveted a piece of Treilse Cooper and couldn’t get past the price tag, now is your chance. Don’t take too long to think about it, because at 50% off it makes for great “investment piece” buying and it will definitely be “if you snooze, you lose”.

50% off both Women and Kids clothes, at all of her Auckland Stores.  Once again, you are the lucky ones if you live in Auckland.

Note to self, must email Trelise and ask her when she’s going to open a store in Wellington.  We can always live in hope.

It has to be said that while a recession isn’t a great time for most, it certainly gives us the opportunity to pick up a bargain or two.    Bendon’s latest sale is buy one bra and get 50% off your second bra. That is effectively 25% off when you buy 2 bras. It’s a good deal and gives you a chance to pick up your favourite bras at a reduced price. 

Remember, when you buy a new bra, it is a good idea to take the opportunity to get professional help with the fitting.  70% of New Zealand women are wearing the wrong bra size or style.  Getting it wrong can affect posture, cause back pain and lead to sagging breasts.

The sales only lasts for 2 weeks so make sure you don’t miss out.

For those of you who live in Auckland, tomorrow could be your lucky day.

Not being fortunate enough to have been able to go to one of these sales, I envy those of you who can, I hear they are not to be missed.  The prices are really good and there is definitely a bargain to be found.

If you like Trelise Cooper clothes but not how much they cost, this is your chance.  Be in quick, in this economic climate these bargains wont last.

This is one of my favourtie times of the year and it’s when Whitcoulls have their huge 50% off Card Sale.  Yippee, do you have any idea how much I spend every year on cards for everyone, a fortune.  So I always take this opportunity to go and buy up lots of generic cards to use during the year.

Don’t miss out, go and buy up any cards you think you might need for the rest of the year. I always file mine in an old shoe box so you can find them when needed.
