Groupon has really good deals in the local area. I have used this site several times without any problems. Once I signed up for maid service and the provider was not able to do the work so Groupon gave me a refund quickly. I just have to remember to keep looking for deals on Groupon!

I mostly like Costco. I like their tasting service because I can try before I buy... and discover new things (frozen food, sauces, snacks). I almost always buy things I taste there. I buy all my paper goods and gasoline there. I have bought major electronics there. I would like them to keep Guinness in stock. I'm glad Fiber Bars are back in bulk. I sometimes get vitamins. I don't buy clothing, except slippers. There is no where to try things on and no mirrors. I would buy fresh food and other items if in smaller packages. Sometimes I split with a friend.

I like Macy's sale racks and coupons. The deals are very good and I usually find interesting stuff there. The sales associates are good about helping you make the most of coupons. The store atmosphere is very congenial. They don't seem to have damaged goods as much as the Rack and are much better organized. They have great perfumes, costume jewelry, and household items - we have purchased large pieces of furniture and kitchen goods there.

They have nice styles and fabrics, mostly good prices, and I was impressed that they give a 15% discount if you bring in used clothing to donate.

I ordered clothing and it came very quickly from Singapore. I am curvy and short, so I knew that I had to be careful with the size charts and I read the warnings. It is very good that they make an effort to provide this information consistently. The length is perfect for me but armholes can be quite tight with some fabrics (if not stretchy) and I must order styles that are more forgiving in the bust. I am used to getting some alterations of clothes in my country, so I expected I might need to do this. The only disappointment so far was that one stretchy dress with elastic bust tore at a seam (sheer fabric is delicate). I do think it really should be sewn more carefully - using bias tape on seams or reinforcement - with this kind of fabric. I just filed a support request today and I will see how they respond. I had already placed as second order several days ago and I have picked out items for a third order that includes some of the more expensive styles. One step at a time. I will wait for their response and make sure I wear the new clothes to see how they hold up before ordering the third set of items.
