Steals and Deals

So I figured we could have a thread on deals and steals we find for various things we need such as interview attire, new laptops and the like.

I'll go first there was a thread on interview suits earlier this year and people having trouble finding appropriately sized, nicely tailored garments at a reasonable price. Just recently Ann Taylor has implemented a 20% discount in stores if you show a current student ID. Loft, Ann Taylor's younger more business casual counterpart has implemented a 15% student discount with ID in store. Both make tailored women's clothing in many different fits for different women. I know that the Loft discount is stackable on top of others. Meaning they were having a 60% off sale on causal summer wear and with the student discount my purchase was 75% off.

I know some schools have implemented a dress code too so if you need professional wear don't forget your student ID!

http://www.allheart.com --> cheap scrubs and lab coats. My order hasn't arrived yet, so it's possible the clothes are really low quality, but since they're going to get disgusting in school anyway, I don't care.

Just a general tip, but if you buy anything online, google "store name coupon" - you can usually find a useable code out there somewhere.

Woot.com is awesome for electronics.

Yesterday they were having a deal on factory refurbished Macbook Pros. They often do deals on laptops and tablets, so keep an eye out!

I buy most of my scrubs at Garden Ridge (a department type store with various things). They have a huge selection of scrubs and they are all $6.99 or less! They have a website but online shopping isn't available, so this would really only be helpful if there is one of these stores near you.

I just got my stethoscope from Medisave.net, plus I got a coupon code from liking them on Facebook (and free engraving). Also, I got my suit for my interview from the Limited during a sale last summer; it was something like 40% off and it's an awesome suit.

I love Ann Taylor. One of my favorite designers! I had no idea that this company honored a student discount- a stackable one at that. Thanks for the tip, WelshCob! I'll need to remember that 😉

Also, if you hold out buying an interview suit until Thanksgiving, you can get some really really great deals on Black Friday sales. I was able to get my entire interview suit (skirt and jacket) for $50. Of course, I hadn't actually been invited to an interview yet, and I spent a good two months worrying that I'd jinxed myself lol.

My mom and I use Groupon for great deals on all kinds of things. Just the other day I ordered a queen sized comforter set for my new apartment for only $70, when it was originally priced at $150! I also got a really nice towel set very cheap. They have deals on all kinds of things, so I definitely recommend checking it out!

Was thinking about getting this laptop. Pretty sweet student deal. 🙂

Apparently there are a lot of student discounts...

 

[twelvetigers]

I didn't know it was official 'have links for all your sentences' day.

 

[twelvetigers]

Also, a lot of the discounts on computers are pretty pathetic...

 

[twelvetigers]

I have a code for 20% off one item or 30% off two items at Ann Taylor. It should be a multi-use code. I dunno if it can combine with a student discount or not, but it's worth a shot I guess. It says it isn't valid for "power pieces suit collection" as well as a few other random things.

If you want the code (and have posted here before) then send me a PM and I'll dish. I just don't want to share with the entire internets.

Our incoming freshman class last year did a bulk order through them and liked them via facebook to get a MASSIVE discount. I think each of our scopes (Littman Cardio III w/ engraving) were about $125 each.
