Groupon Frugalista Find today!
After waiting most of the day for Groupon to get it together and get their site ready for so much traffic, there is now a great Groupon deal available! Get a $50 store card for the GAP for only $25! This can be used on any merchandise, including sale and clearance.
If you've never used groupon before, let me explain. Groupon posts a deal each day usually for a certain city, say NYC, for example. They might post a $100 gift certificate that can be purchased for $30 for a nice salon or restaurant. If enough people buy the deal of the day, it goes "live" or becomes available. If they don't meet the minimum number of purchases, then the deal does not go through and you get your money back. It's great if you're a resident of a city, but also if you're just planning to go for a visit! Not ALL groupons are city-exclusive, though, like the one offered today for the GAP! Click on the "How Groupon Works" link at the top of their page to learn more.

Haggling 101
Have you ever haggled for something? I don't mean for that little knick knack you bought from a street vendor in Acapulco. I mean walking up to the customer service desk at your local Marhsall's and asked for another 15% off. Yeah, baby, you can be THAT Frugalista.
Haggling is not for the faint of heart, but here are a few tips to embolden you for the task ahead.
1. You can haggle ANYWHERE. It NEVER hurts to ask. The WORST someone can say is "no." I've haggled at an upscale boutique, at Target, Marshall's and you can even haggle at the grocery store. I've had items discounted at each of those places and all it took was asking the right person.
2. Be kind. As they saying goes, "You get more flies with honey than vinegar." Plus, you should just always be kind!
3. Find the right item. I check clearance racks for items that have a fixable defect. "Fixable" can be an easily replaced button, a spot that looks like it can be removed in a regular wash cycle, or a toy that needs a bath in soapy water. Look for things that are obviously out of season, but haven't been marked down yet, like a grill or patio furniture in November or Christmas decorations in May. Sometimes items were returned and weren't priced correctly when they made it back to the shelves. Also look for items with no price tags and no identical items. This works great at Target and Wal-Mart. They usually just ask me how much I want to pay for the item and the cashier will offer that price or $.25 more.
4. Know your store. If you walk into a boutique and start haggling with the clerk at the register, you might not get very far. Ask, "Who could I talk to about having an item discounted?" If you're in Target, the cashier can adjust prices themselves. For a grocery store, you can talk to the produce manager about reducing overripe bananas or a someone at customer service about something with damaged packaging.
5. Use cash. Stores are more willing to haggle if you are paying with cash since they have a 3-5% charge every time someone uses a credit card. I recommend using cash for any in-store purchases and I'll post a link at the bottom so you can find out why.
6. Be reasonable with your offer. That leather Nicole Miller clutch is not going to walk out of that store for $25. That cute bedding set is worth more to you than $1.99. If you think your offer is reasonable, but it is refused, politely ask what they think would be a more reasonable offer. Part of haggling is compromise. Sometimes you might not be willing to compromise which leads me to...
7. Be ready to walk away. If you can't agree on a price, be ready to leave that item behind! It's okay, there will be a "next time." I've actually had someone
chase me down after I walked away from their "final price" so that they could offer me the item at my requested price- not in America!
Enjoy all the Frugalista Finds you get on your haggling adventures.

What to Wear?
If there's no roommate around to help you out, or if your roommate would be little to no help (my hubs, for example) you can ask the fashion experts at www.whattowear.com. Having trouble pairing something with your new jeggings? Want to know if your strappy platform shoes from 2002 are still fashionable? Ask these style experts and get an answer fast- approximately 9 minutes.
How is this a Frugalista Find, you might ask? Before you go shopping for a new dress or outfit, shop in your closet first! Ask the What to Wear experts what goes best with what using items you already own. Example question: I have new wedge-heeled subtly metallic gladiator style shoes and old black plain ballerina flats. Which looks better with black leggings for a petite person?
