getting high style clothing at a good price

I’m always looking for a good deal. It’s like a game for me. One way I’ve found to get good quality clothing for a fraction of the cost is to buy at the end of the season. For instance, a store is getting ready for their winter merchandise so they put their summer clothes on clearance. I buy them out of season for my kids and just buy them a size or 2 bigger. I have 3 boys and I’ve gotten pretty good at estimating their size for next year. Buying things like jeans, khaki shorts, polo shirts is easy too because they are classic and don’t go out of style.

I also use store reward programs. If it’s free to sign up i’m there. So even if I don’t accumulate enough rewards it didn’t cost me anything extra AND I have a tendency to lean toward the stores I have a rewards program with when i’m planning on a purchase.

Got My stuff from christiania crowns!

I got my free stuff from Christiania Crowns vodka website. Check it out above. I still have one more package coming with my free vodka gift set. This was so easy it’ crazy. You get 25 “crowns” just for signing up which is good immediately for a free pen or pin. It’s not hard to earn more crowns though and then trade them in for something even better in their “crown store”. That’s what I did…a few amex gift cards, business cards, they even sent me a free tank and underwear.

You have to be invited to the site so here’s my personal invite link to you:
