FIRST ORDER FOR AVON

Just put in a very large first order for AVON.  I want to especially thank those that supported my first leap into this and hope that I will bring others aboard soon!  I surprised myself and surpassed my target with an order 2x as large!

NEW AVON VENTURE

Starting this christmas, I will be an official AVON representative and will be doing all sorts of product reviews based on my personal experience with this product line.  Very excited about my new business venture and wondering why i had not thought of doing this years ago!

I will be going for training in the next couple of days and posting the current AVON brochure in the very near future.  Till then-happy holiday shopping!

THE RULES

1.  Join all the email lists of the stores you enjoy to shop at.  They always send you the latest promotions and coupons.

2.  Always have your coupons with you wherever you are.  Make a mental note or list of expiry dates so you don't forget about them.

3.  Join the membership rewards programs (eg. Optimal Card for Shoppers).  Free stuff is always a plus!

4.  Use the stores mastercard or other credit programs if you don't have any debt.  As long as you don't accumulate their interest, they have excellent incentives (eg. MACY's, PC mastercard=free groceries)

5.  Never throw out your receipts right away.  Keep them for at least a month as most stores give you price adjustments if the cost of item goes down.

6.  Some stores (Zara, RW and H&M) often have great sales that last a week or so.  Go more than once.  Often the sale gets better and better (more markdowns)  .  See rule #5 if this happens to you for a price adjustment!  If your size is not available anymore, stock up for gifts (bday, xmas etc).

7.  Always shop from the end of the store to the front.  The clearance rack is usually at the back.  Unless you like to pay regular retail price!

8.  Don't forget to check the items in and around the fitting room.  These items are usually the best ones as people tried them on but unfortunately they did not fit.  Their loss is  your gain!

9.  Don't waste time trying clothes that are refundable.  If you have limited time at a sale, just purchase a couple of possible sizes and run!

10.  Be observant.  Look carefully at signs and price tags.  ASK QUESTIONS.  I can't tell  you how often people don't even understand the signage in the clearance racks!

Introducing CHIC DEALS!! (pronounced "SHEEK")

I'm excited that after much persistence and persuasion I've decided to start my own blog.  A place where you can navigate the best deals in town, learn how to scope out bargains anywhere and read reviews on several products I have tried personally.

I come from a science background but I can say without a doubt that this is my first or second calling!  I've always been giving out advice on deal finding and shopping.  I think that this is something that all people can learn and so i've created this blog just for you.

I eventually hope that this will become something bigger but this is a great start.  I look forward to sharing many sweet steals and bringing my stories to you all!
