Membership Sites for Discount Deals

Another of my favorite ways to buy fabulous designer or specialty goods at discount prices is through membership sites for deals and daily deal sites. My favorite membership sites for things for the whole family are http://www.hautelook.com/, http://www.gilt.com/, http://www.ruelala.com/, http://www.ideeli.com/. For children's items, I have found http://www.zulily.com/, and http://www.totsy.com/ (formerly Btrendie) to be the best. Additonally, there are sites on-line that provide daily deals for a limited time - the time periods range from minutes to a 24 hour period. Some of my favorites are http://www.babysteals.com/, http://www.kidsteals.com/, http://www.ecobabybuys.com/, http://www.mamabargains.com/ and http://www.babyhalfoff.com/. You can get great things at great prices at any of these sites. One caveat is that you need to calculate the shipping fees into your bottom line to know if you're really getting a great deal. It's so easy to be an impulse shopper and the clothing and toys are so adorable, so beware!
