Shopping Tips Online

Have you ever found a perfume or cologne that you knew was the perfect scent for you? I have and I have found it more than once. But, I love a good perfume when  I find one. And find one I have! There is a great scent that I have found by the makers of Bijan called Bijan Black. A co-worker of mine and I went in together and found it at a website that sells fragrances at a discount.

I used to wear a scent called Venezia that was by Laura Biagiotti. That was back in the late 1990’s when Biagiotti was pretty big then. That was a scent that was absolutely romantic with deep, woody undertones with a fresh scent layer on top. So of course after I fall completely in love with, what happens? The scent is discontinued. Yes, discontinued. But hopefully, with my new Bijan Black scent, I won’t have that happen to me. Bijan seems to come out with new scents pretty regularly and they also make scents for men AND women. If you order the package (like I did) you can also get the bath gel and the body lotion all in one with the perfume. This is a good deal because everyone knows that in order for a perfume to have a lasting effect, you have got to layer it, meaning, put on the first scent, then layer it with the second and third scents, etc.

Check out Bijan Black. Let me know what you think.

Hello everyone! I’m your new blog writer here at shoppingtipsonline.net. I’m excited about being here and can’t wait to get started with good, quality posts full of information on how to find deals, find bargains and save money. I spend a lot of time on the internet looking wares for my family (which has three very active, very funny children in it), for my business and for my home. I get chills when I can save money.

I’d love to hear from you all if you have great shopping tips as well. Little known sites and blogs where we can find deals will make us all happy. So here’s to great shopping!

For some reason, every year when school starts, I feel the need to get organized. At some point, usually after I’ve spent a fortune on items to help me get that way, the urge passes and I drop back into my disorganized state. Now that school has started, I find myself looking for cute but functional organizational items.

These storage boxes are not only stylish, but they’re also functional. From $9.99 - $14.99 they’re also a decent deal on storage boxes. They’re cuter than the plastic Rubbermaid ones I have anyway!

Have your kids discovered Webkinz yet? Webkinz are cute little stuffed animals that come with a code to unlock a whole world at Webkinz.com. They retail for about $13 or so, but that’s if you’re lucky enough to find them. Lately, it’s been a little easier, but a few months ago, we found ourselves desperate and searching all over for them.

When I could no longer find them at my local gift shop(Webkinz are not sold by mass retailers. They’re only sold by smaller, independent(but sometimes Hallmark) stores) I turned to the internet. Where did I start? ebay of course!

Have you ever used Snapfish for your digital prints? I can recommend them highly.

Even if you order extra prints, your entire order ships free with AUGSHIP07! It’s a great deal, but only good until the end of the month, so get your orders in!

Have I blogged about this site before? I really don’t know! I was totally addicted to this site a few Christmases ago. I blew so much money there. It’s really easy because the items are just $5.99 shipped and you think that isn’t much to spend for a nice pair of earrings or a cute little ring or a must have pendant. Because it’s mostly impulse buying, you don’t realize how much you’re spending until the bills show up!

It’s still going strong. Items change about every 15 minutes unless one sells out. You need to buy it when you see it because you really don’t know when it’s going to show back up! I can honestly say everything I’ve purchased has been decent quality and worth $6.

If you’re worried about the safety of using a credit card online, many credit card companies will allow you to create a one time use number. You simply log into your online account and get the number. Directions will vary according to your credit card, but the number can only be used once and your real credit card number stays safe and is never revealed online.

It’s a great option for anyone skittish about shopping online.

If you’re still leery about shopping online because you worry about your credit card number being stolen, you should check out this site. When you sign up you’ll get $5 free. Plus, if you refer a friend, you’ll get $5 for each one who signs up. You can fund it via your cell phone and it works just like a regular debit card. You can use it online and off. I thought it was a great idea for those who like to budget their online shopping because you can just add only as much as you’re willing to spend(or can afford to spend) at a time to the card and then it’s gone. The fees are virtually non-existent! Just .10 to send money anywhere and it’s totally free to receive it. What a great idea!
