Bargain Sites and Private Sales

It seems to be gaining in popularity private sale websites where manufacturers and brands sell end of line or excess stock at reduced prices.

Some allowed joint postage and others require individual postage per brand so make sure you check out the rules before buying.

Catch of the day and Scoopon are two big ones that work together. For Catch of the day they release one big item once a day and several smaller items. They last for 24 hours and are then gone. Scoopon on has tailored sales per area but they have to have a minimum numberof people interested before starting:

All the deals allows you to see local deals in your area all on one page:

Brands Exclusive is one of my favorites and they will email you daily to tell you about their sales. They have more than one sale going on at a time and some huge savings, the downside being they post from the manufacturer direct tonyou and it can take a few weeks to get your item.

You often need and invite or recommendation to join so see above.


Living Social is a great site that tailors deals to your area and if 3 of your friends buy the deal from your recommendation you get yours for free. See details here:

Ozsale has different sales on at one time but each order is separate so you do pay postage more than once.

My Habit is a US site that works the same way but with high end brands and they do post here. Great way to buy designer items at a reduced price and often things we can't buy here.

The great thing about all these sites is you can subscribe via email so you get the latest updates without having to check them every day.
More will be added soon.....
