Do You Know Of A "Stingy" Shopping Site?

ECBG — Sat, 29 May 2021 00:10:57 GMT

Some sites offer a discount every few days while some only give you a notification of a markdown.

I've been shopping this afternoon, and have looked up discounts for these sites. Coupons often appear on their monthly catalogs and many don't send the glossy 20-30 pg. catalogs with coupons out anymore.

Dillards will only do discounts on clearence at a certain time at the end of some months.

Chicos is very stingy with coupons. Consumers showed them the items will sell.

Soft Surroundings: Very few discounts. Care to take your chance with what gets left on clearence?

I'm not interested in purchasing any cheap, shop worn junk.

Thank you. Wondering of new merchandise shopping sites similar to the sites I already named.

Personally, I have always thought that LLBean is stingy with their discounts, which they just don't offer too often. When they do, it is only like 10% or maybe 20% for a limited time. I guess they have such a loyal customer base, they don't feel like they need to offer deep discounts or sales. I don't begrudge them for that decision; more power to them I guess.

To me those that offer coupons, discounts, etc are sites I try to stay away from because if they offer them frequently why don't they just lower prices and quit making customers jump through hoops to get a discount?. I do not fall for that. It says that company will do that just to trick customers to purchase thinking they are getting a good buy because their regular prices are so inflated!

Some sites never give you a mark down, a sale, nothing. Citizens of Humanity who only goes on it's reputation has never never had a sale. Nothing. Everything is full price, though unlike other places (that offer sales) they don't increase their prices as much. Even when they are on other sites (Shopbop, etc) they are always the same price. In the rare cases that it happens, that place has to have an agreement with Citizens. I've never seen it myself. I have their email in the hopes they will, but they never do.

I haven't seen the price of a product raised so a coupon could be used; in a store all of the tickets would have to be reprinted. I know what price I have seen online for an item and personally haven't seen them move.

Do you have a particular site in mind?

Fragrance and jewelry sites raise prices so they can then lower them. In reality, the price is always the same.

I have received a couple of nice pieces on sale but for the most part Sundance is stingy as heck! LOL

Ann Taylor, on the other hand, has been hurt by Covid and have been practically giving things away

I thnk Chico's is generous with their discounts. I get emails regularly (probably once a week).

I shop online with them frequently and it's been a couple of years since the last time I purchased anything at full price.

And - the merchandise is always brand new.

Current Chico's catalog is featuring cargo shorts - looks like solids and prints.

I worked in retail in high school and college. When items went on sale, we drew a line through the retail and wrote the sale price in red ink. Once an item was on sale, the price could never be raised again. (Occasionally we did catch customers discounting their purchases by using their own red pen.)

Today most retail is never marked down, rather " % signs off" are posted. That way it is easy to return the item to its original sale price.

Chicos is famous for playing with prices. Currently there are items on their website I purchased last year at a lower price. One day the item will be on sale for $19.99, then 2 days later it will be $69.99. They play tricks with items ending in .98 and .99. One day all the .98 items will be on sale. The next day, that same item will end in .99. At least Chicos does give a 5% discount and free shipping to Passport members. Every day I receive an email from Chicos and Coach advertising some sort of sale.

I haven't experienced in store retail since 3/20 so I do not know what is true today.

If we are talking stingy shopping sites, QVC ranks right up there.

Thank you for thinking of me! I found some really good ones on Amazon that have the wider leg that I like plus I'm not real fond of showing off my knees! LOL

I’ve been looking at a dress on northstyle.com But won’t buy for $70 at full price. I keep getting their emails, but so far they have never offered any discounts whatsoever, only free shipping.
White house black market hasn’t been offering any coupon codes for the past few months which is not the norm for them. Not sure what’s going on with them
