Where I Shop

Just a few of my favorite sites for shopping, in case you haven't finished yet:

Overstock.com
A little bit like Marshalls and Big Lots rolled into one. Sometimes you can find wonderful stuff; sometimes nothing.

Zappos.com
I can't imagine a woman who doesn't know this site....the absolute best place to look for shoes and purses, especially European brands. Excellent service; no problem with returns either ( I can hear the "how can you shop for shoes if you can't try them on?" comments). They don't mark down much on sales though.

Novica.com
This is the site sponsored by National Geographic and it features wonderful stuff from all over the world. Great place to look for a gift if you have no idea what to give.

Etsy.com
My find of the year. It is like a co-op of artists who have a venue for selling their creations. I love the jewelry but there are dozens of catagories and literally thousands of items; you could spend hours shopping at this one site. You have to use Paypal but that's no big deal. And the artists and artisens are so happy to make a sale that they usually include a little note when they ship your purchase.

Chicos.com
You all know my love of Chicos, but I only shop the sale selections; they really know how to mark things down and their return system is also easy.

Landsend.com
Again I go straight to the outlet where they are serious about their markdowns.

Footsmart.com
If you are getting old, if you have problems with your feet this is the place, but I really don't want to talk about it.

Non-shopping but great sites:

Caedes Desktop Backgrounds: some great photography and computer generated art for free desktop backgrounds

WebMD: a reliable easy to use resource for all things medical.

Just a few of my favorites; your turn.

Sorry for no comments for a while. Here's my list of shopping sites:

http://dealnews.com - I don't make an online purchase without checking here first to see if what I want is on sale someplace.

http://woot.com - one day, one deal. Usually computer related, but not always. Items get posted at midnight. They sell that item for 24 hours, or until they sell out. They have a special they do every once in a while that usually sells out in minutes - the Bag 'o' Crap. It costs $1, you can buy up to 3, and generally speaking, you get a bag o crap. This is how they liquidate their unwanted inventory. Some people have gotten plasma tvs (yes for $1).

http://www.newegg.com - The best place to buy computer equipment.

http://www.abtelectronics.com - I mostly windowshop and daydream here. Abt is a Chicago home electronics/appliance store that's about the size of a small shopping mall.

http://www.threadless.com - design your own t-shirt. if enough people vote on it, they'll print it up! Or just look at the very creative things other folks come up with.
