Sample Sale Sites!


First off I will explain what a sample sale is, and then I'll get into the good parts!

A sample sale is what manufacturers do to get rid of excess merchandise. It allows them to sell perfect or near perfect merchandise for a fraction of the cost!

I'm always game for saving money and getting a great deal! I also love shopping, so I've become a big fan of sample sale sites lately! Sample sale sites usually have higher end fashion clothing, but many have branched out and have begun selling just about everything! I have seen men, women, and children's clothing, shoes, accessories, make up, candy, houseware items, great deals on trips, magazine subscriptions, art, rugs...just about everything! I will do a quick rundown on my favorite sample sale sites below. Even if you don't end up buying anything, they are so fun to look at, and they change daily!

Most, if not all sample sale sites are invitation only. I will link an invitation to all of you below! Each sale usually lasts about 3 days, depending on the site. Also, most are all geared towards women.


Okay, here we go.


Ideeli was the first sample sale website I ever joined. Ideeli is the majority of women's clothing, jewelry, and accessories. They also carry men's, kid's, home, and travel.  They have high-end brands every now and then, but also have very affordable brands as well. Check back frequently to see what new stuff they have, because it's one of those things where if you see it and like it, you better buy it or it will be gone the next day! Every so often they have Ideeli RED sales, which is basically clearance sales on leftovers they never sold during a regular sale. I always keep an eye out for these, because they are soooo cheap!



Beyond the Rack is one of the newest sites I've joined, and probably my favorite! They always have a ton of shoe sales, purses, and accessories. And they have some of the lowest prices I've seen! Even for the higher end stuff!


HauteLook is actually probably tied with Beyond the Rack as my favorite. One thing I love about Hautelook is they always have a beauty sale going on, whether is make up, hair tools, hair products, teeth whitening kits. Not many other sites have beauty sales, which I'm obsessed with! I get to try out expensive make up for like 60% of what I would have to pay at like Ulta! So worth it!


I'm newest to Rue La La, and I have definitely noticed they mainly carry high end, more expensive brands. Usually to expensive for my wallet, but I have seen some amazing deals. If you are into big brands like Juicy Couture, Gucci, J Brand, and stuff like that, then they have some great deals for you! I just prefer all the other sites because they are soooo much more affordable for me!



I think that's it! Join (all are free), and tell me what you think! Or let me know if you know of any other great sample sale sites!
