Save with Shop it to Me

I’ve never had the best timing. In high school I was the person who asked a friend in gushing tones how it was going with her boyfriend…a week after they’d broken up.

From a shopping perspective, my horrible timing means both frustration and missing out on opportunities to save. For example, a co-worker will wear an outfit that I absolutely love and then tell me she got it on sale for something like 75% off. I’ll drop everything to get to the store…only to find out the sale ended the day before or the last one in my size was just sold. Aaarrrghh, it’s annoying!

Which is why I was excited when my friend emailed me about a website called Shop it to Me which monitors online sales and emails you when items – both in your size and at stores you’ve pre-selected - go on sale. I’ve set mine up to send me alerts on J. Crew, New York & Company, Banana Republic, Nine West and Ann Taylor, but there are literally over a hundred different store/brand options to choose from. Oh and did I mention it’s free?

Plus, now through January 31, 2009, if you get 10 friends to sign up to also receive Shop it to Me email alerts, you’ll receive a $10 gift card to the store of your choice. Here’s to happy sale-ing and never having bad timing again! At least when it comes to shopping…
