Deal Hunt Spotlight: BUCO Embroidered Tote

June 11, 2012 by · Leave a Comment

I’m bushed. Really. It’s been a long weekend, I had a lot of things to prepare and attend to, then all of a sudden I was down with some mild food poisoning yesterday. Thankfully, I bounced back after  a few hours rest and home medication. I wish I just stayed home yesterday morning and do some online data recovery work instead of going out and getting food poisoned. Hmm, no use crying over spilled milk now though.

So I just decided to give myself some visual treat and online surf shopped this afternoon. And I ended up salivating over this: BUCO By Jesselli Couture Handbags is currently holding a sale event on Modnique!

Koret Envelope Clutch Bag From Modnique

January 20, 2012 by · 3 Comments

A few weeks ago, I blogged about one of the best bargains I scored online. The Koret Envelope Clutch Bag I bought from Modnique.com for just $1.99. How did I get it for such a low price? Well, Modnique has a tell a friend program where you earn credits by referring new shoppers to them. I had some credits and that’s what I used to buy the clutch bag. The bag in itself was hugely discounted, with a retail price $58, it was on sale at Modnique for only $29. I was still able to bargain the price down to $25 when the ‘Make an Offer’ sign went on the bag.  Then I just paid using my ‘credits’ + $1.99 (just so the transaction can go through..).

A great deal, right? You know, these programs like refer a friend may seem like a small thing but small things could add up to big savings. Everyone knows that every little cent counts and that’s how I operate as a thrifter.

The only thing I didn’t appreciate about it is the weeks long shipping process. Perhaps because I ordered during the holidays? And they also shipped by Fedex Intl Mail and the post said my package got lost along the way. Lol.

Anyway, I was soooo excited when it arrived. It was bigger than what I was expecting and has this really pricey feel to it. Like its an expensive thing!

Best Buy: Koret Envelope Wrislet Clutch

Best Buy: Koret Envelope Wrislet Clutch

December 13, 2011 by · 1 Comment

This has got to be one of my best buys ever. Lol. Why? The bag is gorgeous, brand new and I just paid $1.99 for it! No its not priced $1.99 but the thrifter in me went on ‘thrift hunt’ mode. So how did I come upon this great deal?

Well, one my favorite places to hang out, browse and buy designer goodies at super discount prices is Modnique.com. I am totally in love with this site and I must say they are the best when it comes to Online Sample Sale Clubs/Private Shopping Sites/Member Shopping/Discount Club Shopping with International Shipping. Sure, there are other popular sites similar to Modnique but most of them don’t ship out internationally, so Modnique is on top of my list whenever I am on the hunt for designer goods. To check out other private shopping sites, check out my post on my other blog – Top Online Private Shopping Sites + Invite Links.

Modnique - Private Shopping Site

Anyway, I’ve been promoting Modnique on my other shopping site and recommending it to friends and what’s great about this is that everytime your invitees sign up for free and shop at Modnique you get store credits. Easy right? And I’ve been accumulating some credits for the past month and got to use it today when I saw this..

Koret Envelope Wristlet Clutch – its retail price at Koret Handbags is $58 and on other websites it usually sells like $65. It was on sale at Modnique for just $29!  Then I waited for a day till a ‘Make an Offer’ sign on the bag went up. {When this sign goes up, better grab the chance, coz it means you can haggle, haggle!} and I got it for just $25. Shipping from US to Phnom Penh was $11.99 (ugh!) but I didn’t care coz I had credits to use. Yay! In the end, I just paid $1.99 with a credit card since you also need to pay at least a dollar in order for the checkout to process.

Pretty, right? And definitely one I could use a lot. Now I’m just waiting for it to be shipped. I reckon I’ll have it early January, I know shipping during holidays is  a pain so I’m prepared to wait. After all, I just got it for a steal. Will be updating this space once I have it :)

Modnique always have a great variety of brands on sale and mind you, they are worth checking out everyday or at least subscribing to sale alerts. And from what I have seen they really do carry a consistently good inventory of handbags and shoes and accessories. Their shipping fee is also one of the most reasonable, if you buy items worth $99, you’ll be charged $9.99 for international shipping.

I think I’m just beginning to get into private shopping sites and I’m already loving it! Now I’m on the lookout for sample sites selling kids and mommy stuff, having yoyo toys on their inventory wouldn’t hurt. Sites like Zulily,Totsy, Mini Ideeli but one that offers international shipping at least.

Save Big with Private Shopping Sites

August 8, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

I must confess I’m really out of my ‘thrift shopping’ element right now. I haven’t been out thrifting in weeks! Mostly coz I’m being lazy, and the weather won’t just agree with me. Sometimes it rains like it won’t let up and I hate going out when its muddy and all. So what does a shopping addict do during times like these? Well, online window shopping marathon is a cure for me. Lol. What I love about online shopping is that I could see anything and everything in shops I visit, without leaving the comforts of my sofa. I can even find sunshineyoga.com yoga mats online so I was satisfied.

Shopping online can be sooo tempting and expensive though. If you get overwhelmed that is. But I wanna share a shopping secret to everyone. Love brands but can’t quite cough up the high prices? Then shop luxury brands on a discount. How? By private shopping! Private shopping sites are online malls or sample sites who works closely with brands and bring you limited time sales and promo events so you can avail of top range brands at huge huge discounts. You need to be a member of these sites to join the sale events. Also you have to be patient in waiting for the right sale event to come along but trust me, you’ll get really fabulous deals from these sites.

Membership on these sites is free, but you have to get an invite from members. If you are looking for invites, then visit my other blog Lui-Bloggera where I listed down a selection of private shopping sites and invite links so you can sign up.
