I’M HAUTE
While I’ve gotten many fab deals on decorating items (via Craiglist, Crate and Barrel outlet, etc), my best deal was on a baby item. I had been stalking craigslist for over a month looking for a BOB Revolution stroller, determined to not pay the ~$375 retail. Finally an ad came up for $100 and I happened to be the first to respond… I had to leave work immediately and drive 40 minutes each way to get it, but it was SO worth it. Mint condition and we’ve used it every day since. WOO HOO! A deal that helps keep me in shape AND my baby happy? Now that’s what I call a deal.

The best deal I’ve ever gotten was either getting a pair of $150 Calvin Klein heels for $23 or when I got $8,000 taken off the purchase price of my new car!

I love these discount sites! Such lovely things, and lots of good bargains!
Erin C. says
I’M HAUTE! I found a solid wood play kitchen for my kids in great shape on the side of the road for free. It needed some cleaning but I was super excited about it!
Karen says
I’m Haute! I’m excited about what I find at yardsales the most…I recently found a hand carved Mexican cabinet with doors that was only $25! Yippeee!!
Melinda says
I’M HAUTE! I’m ALWAYS looking for great deals, but I never seem to stumble across the amazing ones. Usually, I only find the basics (photo frames, pillows, blankets, etc.) on super sale.

i think one of my best deals ever was when we bought all our baby gear at babies r us, with a combination of gift cards, stuff on sale, and of course those amazing bed, bath, & beyond coupons (not to mention the BRU coupons themselves) and probably saved over $1,000 and grabbed everything all in one easy fell swoop. that felt *good*

Rebecca says
I’M HAUTE! I’ve been looking high and low for sham pillow covers that match our duvet cover. The matching shams are $50 a pop and I am too cheap to buy them! Yesterday I found two shams that are super duper close for only $5 each. Needless to say I was excited!
Sarah says
I’M HAUTE! I just bought some pants from Banana Republic for $10 when they were originally $89!
Molly says
I’M HAUTE!
I got a brand new BCBG skirt for a $1 at a Goodwill OUTLET (I didn’t even know that they existed!). I love it & at this point price per wear is less than a penny.
Aisha says
I’M HAUTE!!! Unfortunately, I never run across any truly amazing deals.
Bri says
Im Haute!
I got my iPhone fixed for free. Does that count? I’m sure I’ve had better deals in the past, but I’m drawing a blank here. Blame it on the no-sleep-for-mamma brain.
Michi says

My husband found an over the range microwave for free on Freecycle (was only a year old and was about $450 new). It took him about 10 minutes to fix it. 7 years later, it is still working.

I snagged a gorgeous NWT Bebe vest on ebay for $29 (originalprice $89)
Kayakgirl73 says
I’M HAUTE. I once scorced a bedroom ensemble at JC Penney for a spectualar price it was marked way down and my mom’s friend who was an associate there bought it with her discount and I paid her back. I’ve been using it for 15 years first in my room and then in my guest room.

outlet shopping is where I find all of my bargins!

I’m Haute.
I’m a massage therapist, so I barter a lot. I’ve gotten several tree stumps removed, plumbing work done, discounted custom window treatments, had a risk management friend do the leg work to find homeowner’s and auto insurances policies for me, and snagged a Baltimore Ravens cooler from a bank that was only giving them to new accounts. And all it takes is 30 or 60 minutes of my time here and there!
Kimm says
I’M HAUTE!
I once bought a winter wool coat at Macy’s for $15. It didn’t have a tag on it, so we just took it to the counter because it was the one I wanted. The cashier was shocked and asked if there were any more. :O)
Tamara says
I’M HAUTE!
I was looking for an area rug in a specific color range and design, and kept finding ones that were $1,000 and up. Then I stumbled upon one in Lowe’s that met the criteria and it was on sale – $150!
Frisco says

The best deal I have gotten was from an University. They were renovating one of the buildings, and they moved what they wanted to a new building first. Then they offered everything that was left in the building for free. I scored $2,000 worth of high end metal shelves, a huge box of chalk and black board, an expensive shop table with wheels, large amount of copper and aluminum wiring and a solid oak chair. All for free.

The best deal I ever scored was our maple hardwood floors. We found them on craigslist. They were old gym floors that we only paid $0.50 a square foot….and they looking amazing in our home!!!

“IM HAUTE” My husband and I had lusted after this awsome modern coffee table in catalogs for a while. – WAY out of our price range. We were picking up a bistro table we had ordered at a local furniture shop warehouse and saw the very coffee table in the discount section (no price tag) We asked the man what they would take for it……..Hold your breath……..He said “YOU CAN HAVE IT” One of the legs was missing, otherwise perfect. My husband made new legs for it and it is always a conversation piece at our home. :)

I try to get a deal on everything. I absolutely can not pay full price. It kills me. I guess this may sound lame, but if you get really crafty with those CVS bonus bucks, coupons and sales…you can get lots of stuff for almost nothing. It always makes me feel so good about myself.
Erica says
I’M HAUTE,
The best deal I got was a really cool retro dresser for free on someone curb. I took it home refinished it and now I have a new dresser!
Melissa C. says

I got a beautiful cabinet off of freecycle.org… for FREE! I really love that site. I’ve gotten so many wonderful pieces of gently used furniture :)
Amy D says
I’M HAUTE!
I score cheap furniture finds on Craigslist all the time. They may be second-hand, but it’s amazing what a cleaning and/or painting can do to an old piece of furniture to make it look brand new and unique.
Katie says
I’m Haute –
I’m thinking the best deal I ever snagged was on our duvet set from Pottery Barn outlet. Generous gift cards and a ridiculous sale price always equals a good thing!
Lisa says
I’M HAUTE!
One of my best deals was when I got my $380 Kate Spade heels for $50!

It’s hard to say what the best deal I’ve ever snagged was (I am a serial bargain shopper), but I did get a very large solid wood dining table to seat 8-10 people for a mere $169 (our dining table at the time could seat 4, but that meant never being able to entertain guests), and not only was it significantly larger than anything I found at Ikea, but it was also WAY cheaper! And I bought it new, from a high end furniture store. I was just there to browse for inspiration, and I ended up impulse-buying a gigantic dining table! (and then having to explain that to my husband as he got off work… )
Kerry says
I’M HAUTE! I bought this dark red leather tote bag from The Limited at one of those mall “sidewalk” sales for $20 on sale from $100. I still use it for work sometimes. When my tupperware overturned in it once and spilled some stew, I thought it was ruined, but I figured since it was so cheap I’d try tossing it in the wash. It came out clean! I think I’ve washed it three times and it still looks great. I love that bag!

I would say my best deal was my house. I bought a 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom house for a sale price of just 69K. I recieved money from the seller, the bank and a local homebuyer program for my down payment. I spent only about $1,100 of my own money to buy the house (I actually got money back at closing). So I ended up with a 61K mortgage when it was all said in done. Now I’m paying about $400 less on my mortgage each month than what I was paying for a 2 bedroom apartment. SCORE!
Lynne says

I will occasionally find good deals, but never an amazing deal. I’ll keeping trying!
Allison says

The best deal was when I guarded a beautiful glider rocking chair at goodwill for only $15 dollars, 50% off day!
Brandy G says
I’m Haute!! :-) I always search for good deals but never seem to get as lucky as you guys…
Donna says
I’m haute! Found a lined brown blazer at Petite Sophisticates when they were going out of business for $2.00!
Whitney says
I’m Haute!
This is boring, but nonetheless exciting to me. I recently negotiated for my new contact lenses and got $80 off! That’s $80 I can put towards more fun things, like decorating my home!

I once scored an Eamess Chair on Craigslist for $25.
Summer says

Wish I could tell you about an amazing deal… but I’m terrible at finding great deals! All of our landscaping we did this fall was 50% off…. Maybe that’s it… :)
Trilby Cox says
I’m HAUTE!! I can snag good deals on clothing like nobody’s business, but have yet to snag anything amazing in the furniture department. I would love to change that soon!!
meredith says

We saved for months and months for our dream dining room table and then one day, my in laws decided that they needed to give us a belated wedding gift. WALA! the table was ours the next day. :)

I buy all of my cars on ebay and I have gotten AH-mazing deals! For example, a ’99 Lexus with 45K miles on it for $10K….woohoo!
