About Me

I love love love to shop online. I will not purchase anyhing until I find the best deal I can for an item. I read reviews, both expert and consumer so that I can get a true picture of the item I intend to buy. I guess I am what you call frugal (cheapskate).

How I Can Help

love to research products before buying-spend lots of time making sure I get good quality for the least amount of money

Interests

music, books, stewie griffin, ebay

This site offers consumers handcrafted items from disadvantaged artisans around the globe. It is a non-profit organization that offers it's artisans a chance to sell their wares to US consumers as they often do not have access to markets. They have beautiful and unique gifts for decorating your home and offer gifts for guys and gals. Prices are very reasonable.

Another awesome shoe store with great promotions. I have ordered from this site several times and have had no issues-shipping is $4.50. They have a great selection and I always shop by %age off because even some of these selections are cute. Have had absolutely no problems with this retailer. An added plus is that if they don't have the shoe in your size, you can enter your email and they will notify you when they do. They also offer rewards and will send you a coupon for money off when you have reached so many points. Happy shoe hunting!

Great offers at this site! They seem to always have a promotion going as well as free shipping most of the time. Have ordered from here a few times and was only disappointed once due to them sending me the wrong size. I was able to speak to a very pleasant woman who explained the procedure for returning at their expense and received my reorder promptly. Nice place to shop!

I have purchased both shoes and a handbag from this site. They have great sales.My order arrived pretty quickly. The shipping is a little steep if you are only purchasing one item so it is good if you buy more than one item or pair up with someone to place a bigger order. I have noticed this site lowering their shipping costs (2.95) more often lately so keep an eye out for this.

I ordered a few handbags (Roxy) here as they had a very good sale as well as 20% off coupon and free shipping, Site is easy to navigate. Great experience from purchase to receiving shipment.

Another great resource for reviews on consumer products-I always come here to see what reviewers are saying about products I intend to buy. There are expert and consumer reviews on this site.

Before ordering from this company, I checked out some reviews from consumers- there were a few complaints. Be that as it may, they had an item I really really wanted so I took a chance. I had no issues from this site from the ordering process to the receiving of my item. They offer wedding decor, string lights of all kinds, fabric/silk flowers, candles, etc, apothecary, childrens toys, home and garden decor, etc. I ordered a beautiful ivy garland with lights and a set of mini string lights for decorating my livingroom. Shipping is a little costly but I think it depends on where you live. I don't want to fully endorse this site due to some of the reviews I read but I wanted to tell you of my experience so you had a fair set of reviews to go by. People who receive poor service are generally the only ones who leave a review (with obvious good reason). Those who receive great service rarely review a site sometimes making it difficult to get the whole picture... THANK GOODNESS for sitegrabber huh?

If you are looking for reasonably priced gifts, collectables, or home decor items then you may want to check out this site. They have quite a selection. I used a groupon and recieved $30 worth of merchandise for $12+ free shipping. This company could do a little better with communicating and quicker shipping but I did recieve an email when they shipped I received my item within 12-14 days after ordering. If you are in a hurry you may want to pass unless you are willing to spend extra for shipping. They also offer fund raising programs.

  • Barnes & Noble

Love this site!-They have a great selection and seem to always be running a promotion. I also signed up for the two month free trial membership and recieved free express shipping with this company. I have ordered books and DVD's from Barnes and Noble. They inform you of when your order ships and with express shipping it usually arrives within a few short days. Be aware that shipping can take longer if the item isn't available but they will tell you this upon ordering. Membership after the two free months is $25 annually if you choose to remain in the club.

  • Netflix

AWESOME! Be aware though that netflix will be changing their membership plans soon. I used to subscribe for the streaming and one DVD out at a time. I cancelled the DVD part of the deal and now just receive the streaming through my Wii machine and my son's Xbox 360. They offer great movies and tv shows in all categories... granted they aren't always the newest movies but who cares-that's what redbox is for. I also think Netflix eventually wants to get away from the DVD biz and become strictly a streaming type biz and this is why they are changing membership fees. I'll keep you posted...

  • FreeShipping

7/28/11

I have to be honest here. I only used the free trial and cancelled before the thirty days was up otherwise it costs you $79 for membership per year which is what amazon charges for their amazon prime membership. I signed up to save on shipping from a few certain retailesr on the freeshipping list. I used this service three times during the trial offer and had no issues but this was probably because I used only merchants offered on this list. The shipping charge on my orders was automatically dismissed so I didn't have to worry about waiting for a check. I recently rechecked their website and see that they are offering more merchants on their list than when I was using the free trial. It's cool to use if you order from merchants on the list that automatically take shipping off otherwise I don't think I would bother. I have noticed alot recently that many merchants are choosing to offer free shipping or reduced shipping in their promotions now and this may be the wave of the future.

I have ordered two times from this site and had a great experience both times. They are a little expensive unless they are running a promotion. Many times they offer promos ranging from 20%-30% off and free shipping. Wait for the sale if you can.

  • Etsy

7/28/11

This site offers handmade and vintage products. It is set up somewhat like ebay except that everything is a buy it now product. I ordered a cute hand painted sewing basket and had no issues with the seller I purchased from. Again you have to be careful about who you buy from just as you do with ebay. Check feedback of sellers. It is fun to look at the vintage section on this site because you see alot of things that will remind you of when you were young. You can also set up an account to sell on this site and I believe the fees are cheaper than ebays. You can also order custom made items if offered by contacting the seller. You can usually find coupons for different stores on etsy at etsycouponcode.com.

I ordered a pair of Bearpaw boots from this company through their website. It was a great deal at 50% off the original price. But alas it was not to be... I waited and waited for this company to send me an email confirming my purchase... I checked my bank account daily... Finally I called them to ask them if they had received my order... The phone was answered by a lady and I then explained why I was calling... She asked me to hang on... She then proceeded to ask another person about my order... The background noise sounded as though this place was being run out of a house... When she returned to the phone several minutes later, she informed me that the boots that I had ordered were mistakenly put on the site and they wouldn't be able to fulfill my order beacause they didn't have them... I guess I am grateful that they never pulled the money from my account but I will never shop there again... I noticed shortly after this experience that this company was offering a groupon deal... I only wish that I had been a part of this site so that I could have warned others to stay away...

Great site for finding coupons and promotional codes for many many different online retailers!

  • ELF Cosmetics

This site offers makeup for the thrifty person... I have ordered from here several times and have only had one problem... they didn't send me an item that I had ordered... a quick email to customer service and the money was deposited back into my account... The makeup from the site is just as good as any drugstore brand (cover girl, maybelline, revlon, etc). The site offers promos all the time and many times shipping will be as much as your order so you may want to order with a friend. Arrival time for your purchase is usually about 7-10 business days. Read the reviews of the items you select and order based on these reviews as some of the products don't always get good ratings... For the price of the makeup, it's worth a shot to see if you like their products or not... if you do, you have found a great site, if you don't, you aren't out alot of money.

I have not ordered shoes from this site but have ordered handbags. They were from the outlet category and I had no issues at all from placing the order to receiving the items. They were shipped for free, no tax, and arrived in a timely manner.
