How to Bargain Shop for Jimmy Choos

Owning a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes may be out of reach for the average girl's budget. But you don't have to be a wealthy fashionista to dress to the nines, and it doesn't have to break the bank. Below are some tips on finding Jimmy Choos at bargain prices.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Look in consignment shops or used clothing stores for a bargain. Many times, you can find Jimmy Choo shoes and many other designer names at very discounted prices. Most consignment shops only take gently used items, so they won't look like yard sale merchandise. These shops are found all over the United States.

2. Take a shopping excursion in New York's Garment District. The Elegant Tightwad Shopping Excursion offers guided bargain-hunting shopping trips to designer warehouses, wholesale shops and opportunities to get designer clothing and shoes at the lowest possible prices

3. Browse eBay. Many times, overstock and slightly used Jimmy Choo shoes are auctioned off at a fraction of the price. Be sure to read the descriptions carefully, and check out the feedback on the seller.

4. Shop in your friend's closet. If you have a friend who buys only the higher end shoes, ask her for her cast offs. Offer to trade or buy them from her. Sometimes she'll give them to you to make room for her new pair of Jimmy Choos.
