Shopperholics Anonymous

When you are a shopperholic as I am, you just cannot resist a good bargain.

It starts with the thrill and anticipation of a sale (and if you are a member of a department store or premium boutique you get invites to the preview sale - even better!!). Then its deciding if you should just apply leave from work so that you can be there bright and early , even before the doors open. The morning of the sale, you get up with heart pounding deciding what would be the best outfit to wear (one that will be easy to undress and re-dress when trying out clothes). Then not a moment too soon, you're at the door waiting to dive into and emerge with the best sale items ever! Sound familiar.....?

Well, today, if you are a tech savvy shopperholic, there is no need for such rigorous preparation to walk into a brick and mortar boutique. All you need is, to keep your mouse-clicking skills sharp so that you can click away on online store bargains and get them delivered to your doorstep.

Sometime last week, the online bargain store Outnet had a 1 british-pound(approx. RM5) sale for designer items like Stella McCartney and Givenchy. There was such a huge rush, the management was surprised that tech savvy shoppers could buy so many items and at quite literally the speed of light!

So, I visited this online boutique today and found out that the prices they were offering for designer items (once the 1 pound sale was over) were quite good actually. And the sizzling part about this bargain boutique is their Flash Sales where items are priced very low for only a few hours. Shoppers (only those who register an account at the site) will be notified and the e-shopperholics start flexing their finger muscles to grab the offer. Sounds exciting, doesn't it?

I have picked some items from the website that I felt were bargains not to be missed (pictured here).

So, go on... click on theOutnet.com online store. You might enjoy staying home more often now and secretly wish your husband/boyfriend could have more 'boys nite out'!
