shop it to me

I can be a little obsessive about shopping for particular items. I fixate on one thing every once in a while that I have to have, and no substitute will do. Why the obsession? Because paying retail sucks and I want it on sale!

And so, Shop It to Me is my savior for this — you sign up and then check off which stores/brands you love and want to be updated on sales for, enter in clothing items you're interested in and your sizes, and then they email you when that store has a sale going on. You pick the days you want email notifications of the brands you chose (I picked daily — I'm a little overeager about this).

So you can get there first and get those perfect black gladiator sandals for Spring before someone else does!

We all love a good sale and that's why we all should know about Shop It To Me. Searching the Internet for the latest deals takes way too long for one person, so the San Francisco-based site does the searching for you. Consider it your free personal shopper! I already have!

A good pair of running shoes can be hard to find, a good pair of running shoes on sale is nearly impossible to find. Until now...
