Things You'll Need:
- Patience
- Time to window shop
- Computer
- Internet
-
Step 1
The best way to bargain shop is to be well informed. Sign up for emails and rewards from all your favorite designers or shoe sources. This can be done online and will afford you the opportunity to be the first to hear about store news, sales and special events. Becoming a member of many online shoe communities will bring you all the latest shoe news around the globe.
-
Step 2
Shoe blogs are a novelty on the internet, but since the niche is so small, the information is pure. Bloggers like The Shoe Dish, Shoewawa, and Manolo's Shoe Blog are popular websites for those interested in shoe news and update daily on the best new shoes, trends and sales!
-
Step 3
New York City has several bargain department stores that have constantly rotating stock. DSW, Loehmanns, TJ Maxx and Filene's Basement are among the best for clearance prices in the city. Shoes can be up to 80% off in these stores.
-
Step 4
DSW has a rewards club membership that is free to everyone. These rewards cards give you points every time you make a purchase and can be redeemed for even deeper discounts and money off future purchases.
-
Step 5
Check newspaper ads and online fashion forums like Daily Candy and Top Button for news on upcoming sales and designer trunk sales.
-
Step 6
Bargain shoe shopping doesn't always have to be done in department stores or boutiques. The bulk of New York fashion comes from vintage, secondhand stores and street fairs. Visit vintage and secondhand stores at the first and 15th of the month, when people are moving and more likely to be getting rid of things.
