Top 10 Websites For Online Shopping Deals

We live in the age of online shopping. Some people rarely ever enter a mall anymore because it’s so easy to click a mouse and have clothing, accessories, and home goods delivered right to your door. If you ask me, there’s nothing better than a good online sale- there’s no fighting the crowds and you don’t have to take your slippers off. Here are the top 10 websites for online shopping deals.

10. Rue La La. Invitation only shopping sample sales! But it’s easy to get an invite. Rue La La features different designers every day with clothing, accessories, and more for up to 70% off. And it’s not last season’s stuff either. You’ll be amazed at the deals on Rue La La, but you have to be ready. Sales start every day at 11 a.m. EST. and stuff can sell out pretty quickly. Once it’s gone, it’s gone and you’ll have to wait for the next day’s special boutiques.

9. Gilt. Another invite only sample sale site, Gilt has lots of extensions to it. For instance, there’s a site for men’s sales, less expensive hipper stuff, and even a travel site (think hotels at huge discounts!). Gilt has also had wedding sales before, with discounts on designer wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, and more. Gilt sales start at 12:00 p.m. EST, so you can head there after checking out Rue La La.

8. Shop It To Me. It’s not exactly an online shopping site because you can’t purchase from it; but Shop It To Me will help you find all the best online sales. You tell the site your favorite designers and items, as well as your sizes. And every morning, they’ll send you an email with sales you will be interested in. You click on the product’s you love and you’ll be directed to the site you can buy them from. Easy sale shopping!

7. Overstock. This has long been an online shopping favorite. When retailers want to liquidate their inventory, they sell to Overstock, who in turn sells the merchandise to us at discounted prices. They have a little bit (or a lot bit) of everything on Overstock and it’s always smart to check the site out, no matter what you want to buy.

6. Zappos. You probably know Zappos for their shoes. But they actually carry nearly everything in terms of apparel and accessories. The awesome thing about Zappos is that they have just about the best customer service in the world, so you’ll never have any problems purchasing from their website. My favorite of their site features is the sizing guide for shoes. Previous buyers tell you how true to size each type of shoe is, so you don’t have to worry as much about buying a pair of shoes without trying them on first.

5. BeautyTicket. This is like an online sample sale, but for beauty products. They offer tons of premium beauty products and awesome brands at up to 85% off. BeautyTicket will make you never want to buy products from a pharmacy or department store again.

4. One King’s Lane. Another online sample store, but this time for home goods. Redecorating? Head to One King’s Lane and find everything from pillows to rugs to towels to candles, depending on the day. Sales start at 12:00 p.m. every day and make sure you hurry over so you can get the good before everyone else.

3. HauteLook. One more sample sale site, I promise. HauteLook has a little bit of everything from designer clothing to home goods to beauty products to kids’ clothes. The sales start at 11:00 a.m. so add the site to your daily schedule and start purchasing designer goods at great prices.

2. RedTagCrazy. This site is definitely something to go crazy over. RedTagCrazy offers one deal at a time all day long. Designer clothes are featured for specific periods of time, until another item shows up. This can get addicting since you never know when the new deals are going to pop up. Luckily, there’s a web browser alert you can set up, so you can go about your business and still see that the latest sale is!

1. Amazon. Of course, Amazon.com is the #1 best site for online shopping. It just does not get any better or easier. Once upon a time you could only order books from the site, but now they have absolutely everything. Not to mention, nearly every product has been reviewed by users, so you know exactly what to expect. Shipping is often free if you spend $25 and if you become an Amazon Prime Member, 2-day shipping is always free. Almost like instant gratification!
