About Me

I love love love to shop online. I will not purchase anyhing until I find the best deal I can for an item. I read reviews, both expert and consumer so that I can get a true picture of the item I intend to buy. I guess I am what you call frugal (cheapskate).

How I Can Help

love to research products before buying-spend lots of time making sure I get good quality for the least amount of money

Interests

music, books, stewie griffin, ebay

I have ordered from the online site several times without any problems. They offer great sales, fast shipping, and free samples. They offer a wide variety of brands and reviews from consumers. What more can you ask for?... I have never had to return anything so I can't comment on customer service.

This is a great deal of the day type of site. They offer the consumer coupons and/or promotional codes for all the popular stes you can think of ( kohls, sephora, aero, yankee candle, etc, etc, etc). I check this site everyday for all the best deals. Happy hunting, happy shopping.

  • Microsoft Store

7/30/11

I ordered my Dell laptop and an HP wireless printer from the microsoft store. Both arrived in a timely manner. The great thing about my experience with this site was that they were running promotions for these items and I saved a substantial amount of money on both of these products. Hint: this is where the deal of the day sites come in handy. Didn't have any issues from ordering-through payment- to receiving on my doorstep.

  • Walgreens

7/29/11

You can get most anything that you get at your neighborhood drugstore (Walgreens, CVS, Rite-Aid) right here at this site (even prescriptions). They have great sales and are always running a promotion code for use with purchases. They also reward buyers with 5% credit on total purchase (before tax and shipping) to use on anything later. Their sister site is beauty.com. This site also offers natural/organic products for those who are earth conscious and a special section that allows you to easily spend those FSA funds your employer so graciously contributes to. Have ordered from here and never had any issues. GREAT SITE!

Great site for anything beauty (makeup, perfume, hair care, etc). They usually have a promo running for either free shipping or percent off. They also include free gifts with purchase of certain items and/or free samples with so much money spent. They do offer sales and even have their own line/brand of beauty products at a cheaper price than the brand name retailers (too-faced, smashbox, benefit, urban decay, bare minerals, etc). They are a dependable site to order from.

  • RedBox

Awesome site to review and reserve what movies are available in the redbox you rent from. They also provide ratings of movies that have been seen by others. Great site-Saves you time

  • DealsPlus

Another GREAT place to find deal of the day items and coupon/promo codes for online retailers-will also email you with specific retailers deals or items you want when a deal becomes available. ONE OF THE BEST!

  • Zappos

7/29/11

This site was the only store to have a Northface vest that my son's girlfriend wanted in stock at Christmas time- and I got it at a decent price. Very quick shipping-no issues here!

  • SkinLaboratory

This site offers the buyer professional strength chemical peels. They also sell on amazon. I was leery about ordering a chemical peel due to the horror stories you read. Amazon reviewers gave this seller great reviews for both their products and their service. As I am aging, I have become more conscious about the signs of this process. The site offers alot of information about their products and explains what product you may want to start with. I took a chance and ordered directly from the site. The order was shipped very quickly and came with a pamphlet of directions for the use of the product. I started with a beginner salacylic peel and followed the directions to the letter. It did tingle but not so bad that I couldn't stand it. Once you rinse it off and apply a moisterizer it goes away. I have since ordered a lactic/glycolic peel for beginners and alternate weekly between the two. I have had no issues with the peels and can see a difference in my facial appearance. I am now thinking of ordering the next step. Please be aware these products can cause issues to people with sensitive skin. The pamphlet tells you to test the product on a small patch of skin before applying to your face (kinda like hair color test that is recommended when you home color your hair). If you decide to purchase from this site and give it a try, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read all the directions and follow them. If you want to see ratings for the products, go to the site, copy the product name and then go to amazon and paste it in the search bar to review ratings for the product.

  • DealCatcher

7/29/11

Great site for finding deals of the day- you can also enter a retailer into their search and it will bring you to the retailer's most current coupon/sale. Dealcatcher also allows it's user to request emails for deals from their favorite retailers so when a deal becomes available you will receive an email letting you know.

I wanted to bring this site to your attention because this site offers a shopper the chance to shop designer clothing, handbags, jewelry, beauty, and accessories from about 200 online retailers that includes, urban outfitters, QVC, Nordstroms, ebags, macys, zappos, shopbop etc. You need to sign up for this site (name, email, password) to receive emails from this site. I like this site better than ideeli, hautelook, rue la la because it allows you to see sale items from reputable retailers and will take you directly to the retailers site for purchase-no middleman here. It also allows you to see what celebrities are wearing, follows new trends, and shop by designer. I like any site that makes it easy to find sales and shop. Great site for the designer divas out there.

  • Designer Living

7/29/11

This site has some very good deals on bedding, linens, and pillows in their CLEARANCE BIN. They also have items that I can't believe anyone would pay the price for even though they are great quality items (Really- a pillow sham for $150?). The real deals are in the clearance bin. When I purchased from this site they were also offering a percentage off promotion on clearance. I got the best queen comforter I have ever owned for $24. Shipping is a flat rate of $7.95 or free shipping if you spend $75. Check this site out around holidays as this is usually when they have the best promo codes (next holiday-Labor Day). They also have a deal of the day on their site. Today, (07/29/11) you can get a comforter for 9.99 any size in black/red or blue/navy What are you waiting for?! GO GO! Shipping was pretty quick and I would definitely recommend this site.

Update 07/17/2016- Wow!... it has been 5 yrs. Since my last review of this site so I thought I would provide an update. I have continued to order from designer living without any issues. I have purchased comforters, sheets, throws, a coverlet, and my most expensive item, a piece of furniture. I was very ambivalent about purchasing furniture online from any retailer but I had to have this dresser! It was selling at an awesome price! I took the chance and was not disappointed! Although it took about 3-4 weeks to arrive (they were upfront about this), it arrived well packaged with no damage. I was thrilled. Therefore, I stand by my previous review and wholeheartedly recommend this site. I can't address those issues others have had. I can only relate my experiences and say I personally have always had a great luck with this company! Happy shopping

  • Kohl's

7/29/11

A good online retailer- They do have good sales and you can usually get a percentage off and free shipping. I have ordered clothes, curtains, and blankets from the site. I wasn't impressed with the clothing. The quality of the clothes was not what I had expected. The curtains and blankets were great. I used to check out the site religiously when I was looking for clothing- I now only look at their household items. Can't beat their great service though!

  • FullBeauty

7/29/11

I have ordered from this site twice. They offer great clearance prices on a variety of household items (bedding, drapes, curtains, shades, kitchen and bath, etc) and women's apparel as well. I ordered window shades at a deep discount price. They arrived quickly and I was very happy with the quality. This site always has promotional codes to utilize. The only reason I didn't give it 4 stars was because they often picture items that when you click on them. Have sold out-this I understand but the sold out items tend to stay on the site for a long period of time. Other than this, they have great service.

  • Blair

I ordered some thermal tie up shades from Blair last year. I had a great experience with this site. They have great sales and do offer promotional codes. No issues at all-would recommend.

  • SmartBargains.com

7/28/11

This site sells designer brand products that include women and men's apparel, jewelry, watches, home furnishings, bedding, shoes... They have some great sales and sell out quickly on some of their items... I have purchased boots and handbags from this site. Shipping is $9.95 for most items unless they are offering free shipping. No problems with ordering from this site. But... I don't know if anyone ese has noticed that when they offer free shipping, you save $9.95-when free shipping is not offered they offer a percentage off the product instead and it comes to about the same discount... sooo there are really no deals here when they use these ploys to reel you in-just something I noticed... either way you end up saving about $10.

  • Dillard's

OMG the handbags you can get on this site in the sales and clearance category! They carry Fossil, Steve Madden, BCBG, Lucky, Gianni B, KVZ, Jessica Simpson, The Sak, etc. They are actually having a great sale today 40% off sale and clearance 07/28/11... The only reason for 3 stars? The shipping is pretty expensive. Must see this site!

  • Avon US

7/28/11

Avon has been around for a long time... They continue to offer a diverse group of products at fairly decent prices. They sometimes offer promotions but I mainly shop the outlet as you can find very good deals in this category. Shipping is pretty fast and I only shop when they offer shipping for free with a ten-fifteen dollar purchase otherwise I would spend more for shipping than what the products I purchase cost. Avon never seems to change-don't know if thats good or bad- I guess it is what it is.

  • Walmart

7/28/11

I have shopped on this site several times without any problems. I have had items shipped to my home and some I have use site to store. The great thing about site to store is that they notify you by email when your item has arrived. Walmart has some good products-some bad. Read customer reviews before buying and this may save you from purchasing an inferior product. The other great thing about Walmart is that if you do receive a product that you dislike for whatever reason, they will pretty much exchange it or refund your money without a big hassle.

  • Target

Have ordered online. No issues, great prices, offers some better quality items than Walmart does in my opinion.

PetFinder does serve a purpose. You need to understand that they are only the middle man between...

Most of the issues people have complained about are the fault of the shelter, not Petfinder....
