Zulily is no longer kids clothing and toys seller, it’s so much more now! You can find great deals on clothes for the entire family and many home and garden items. It’s hard to resist its great prices and shipping surprise element.
From one Zulily addict to another here are some ways to save even more, especially with fall and winter holidays coming up:
This is when you can obtain the biggest discounts with up to 75% off. The sale might last up to 3 days and is always announced at 6 am Pacific Time.
This is very important if you want to participate in flash sales, because once the item is gone, it’s gone. If you sign up for notifications, you will be alerted the next time this same item goes on sale again, which it can at any time.
Yes, you can get that with Zulily if you buy multiple items. If you have a lot of stuff to get, make sure you break the purchase into two parts. Once you select and pay for the first item, Zulily grants you free shipping for the rest of the day, so continue your shopping later.
Yes, you can also get that. When you shop on Friday, you will be offered free shipping for that Friday all the way through Sunday.
Those are hard to come by, but sometimes you can. Before buying always check coupon aggregation sites for offers. Keep in mind that most will be fake and expired, but once in a while you will be able to find a real gem. Regular shipping price is $5.99 per item.
That’s definitely a no. It takes about two weeks to get your order delivered, so forget last minute Christmas gifts. Shipping estimation is usually displayed on the product page, so plan ahead, shop responsibly, and enjoy the savings.
You can find this section in the Category menu or by looking for a rocket icon next to shipping options. Products from this section will leave the warehouse in 1-2 days, so you won’t have to wait for 2 weeks.
This has something to do with your friends. If they sign up for Zulily via a link provided by you and make a purchase, you will get $15 store credit. Simple, right? All you have to do is go to your account and get personal Zulily referral link.
This is the thing – most items are not returnable, so think very hard before buying and be certain about the size. This means that you should measure and re-measure. Conversion from European sizes is often involved too.
This is necessary if you want to avoid shoes sizing mistakes for kids and adults with very small feet. If you get the wrong size sent to you by mistake, customer service is amazing and will take care of you right away.
This really depends on you. If you don’t want to miss a sale and shop there a lot, you might really enjoy all kinds of sales information sent to you based on your shopping patterns. If you, like us, buy mostly gifts, you might not find it very useful. If you do sign up, create a separate folder for all marketing emails and keep your main inbox free.
If you are fan of some particular brands, like them by clicking a heart next to them and you will be notified when brand items go on sale.
You can shop on your computer or download an app and shop anywhere anytime. Zulily works on Android and Apple systems.
It turns out that Zulily sales follow other retailer sales patterns. This means that you can estimate the biggest sales of the year pretty easily and get ready to save major amounts when everybody else is spending those major amounts.
To make sure you are not missing anything, look at ‘New Today’, ‘Best Sellers’, ‘Last Day’, ‘Shop by Category’, and ‘Shop by Size’ categories because deals can hide anywhere.
This is a very hard question, because both of those luxury retailers are all about excellent service, high quality products, amazing atmosphere, and designer names. Needless to say, both charge premium for all of those experiences. The most convenient locations for our comparison were Saks Fifth Avenue in South Coast Plaza, Costa Mesa, California and Neiman Marcus in Fashion Island, Newport Beach. In addition to excellent service and merchandise, both retailers offer various services, from salons to eating corners, and phone charging stations.
First – location. Neiman Marcus is located in Fashion Island mall, which on its own can be a destination with beautiful grounds, gardens, koi ponds, various restaurants, and entertainment for kids, not to mention endless array of upscale and less so stores.
Saks is located in Cota Mesa as a stand-alone store, so it is the one and only destination if you decide to come that way. That can be a good thing, especially for the store because you are likely to spend more time and money there when there are no other distractions.
When it comes to interior design, both stores are equally good. You might like some displays and mannequin stations better than others, but it’s because of the difference in taste and not because of lack of creativity and detail. Both stores maintain those displays meticulously and update them often. We have found many Instagram-worthy creations there. We have to admit, that both stores are winners when it comes to the face of the establishments and well developed themes. The most memorable display for us was the white paper butterfly collection hanging over the escalators at Neiman Marcus.
We love that both retailres are very customer friendly and understand the need for directories when people deal with such vast department stores. Saks is especially attentive to those details and might go a little overboard with signs, but we sure appreciated it even if we have been there before.
Designer names are plentiful in both stores, so expect to see stalls for Fendi, Prada, MacKenzie-Childs, Chloe, Saint Lauren, Bottega Veneta, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and many others. In center isles and smaller spaces there were displays of various less known names and brands of accessories, hand bags, and jewelry.
Between departments we loved all the colorful displays of fashion and latest clothing collections. Saks separates the brands better than Neiman Marcus, so if you are coming for specific name, you might find Saks more convenient.
Neiman Marcus is all about bags of all sizes and purposes. Sneakers are all the rage now, so you will find multiple displays of them in both stores alongside other shoes and on their own.
We liked beauty and fragrance departments at Saks better simply because all of that had its own separate section, while at Neiman Marcus the displays were among other stalls and goods, making it harder to find. Big name beauty retailers have their own hubs, just like fashion houses.
Saks jewelry section was a quiet corner with comfortable seats for those who get tired looking at all the diamonds. Neiman Marcus features many big names and makes jewelry choosing experience a breeze.
One feature we really loved at Neiman Marcus was the ultra-modern free phone charging station. You have to enter your phone number that becomes your code, choose a security image, and put your phone in a secure box for charging. The process was very fast and very convenient. Neiman Marcus definitely got points for that!
We also loved multiple sales sections at Saks. Something is always on sale there and at Neiman Marcus too. Yes, many of us feel that both of those upscale department stores can be very unaffordable, but this is a common misconception. While not everybody can walk in and get everything they see in sight, both stores have frequent sales and big clearance sections.
Saks is the winner when it comes to price alone. We have found some racks with 75% off clearance prices and if you can add a coupon or two, you can shop until you drop and be very certain about the quality you are getting for the money.
Coming from mom perspective, we feel that it’s very important to note about the importance of quality. Families with teenagers go through simple tees like there is no tomorrow. There are a few ways to acquire them – you can go to Costco and get some for $15 apiece, wash them 3 times, and throw them away because there will be no shape left. You can also come to Saks, get similar tees for $20, and wear them successfully for 3-5 years like new after countless washes. The choice is yours, but we choose Saks.
Neiman Marcus quality is just as good, but the prices are a bit higher.
While walking through both stores, you will notice multiple free gifts with purchase notices, upcoming sales events information, and friendly associates everywhere eager to help. Talking about associates, we deem them all superb and very knowledgeable at both.
Sephora has little stores inside many JC Penney locations and people love them. They seem less overwhelming, less crowded, and somehow less glitzy, making them cozy places to shop for almost all our beauty needs.
To make them even more fun, Sephora stores inside JCP stores offer exclusive in-store only beauty kits that you won’t find in regular big Sephora shops, so next time you are anywhere close to JC Penney, stop by and see those deals for yourself.
Sephora.com offers 24 regular kits, but here are three that you can get only at JCP physical locations:
If you like any one of those deals and would like to visit Sephora inside JC Penney, you might have some questions. Read common FAQs and you might find your answer. There is also an “Advice” tab on the website, which will take you to BeautyTalk community page, where you can ask questions and get advice from beauty experts and fellow shoppers.
JC Penney department stores nationwide have Sephora shops inside them. You can find the nearest location via Store Locator tab on Sephora website.
If you have some questions or concerns regarding a recent online purchase, call their client service department at 1-877-737-4672. If you have questions about an in-store purchase, you should contact the store directly.
Both retailers are partners enhancing your shopping experience and offering beauty products at your convenience. However, they both are separate companies with separate systems and privacy policies. This is why you will have to have two separate accounts for them.
As mentioned above, both stores are separate entities, so returns are handled separately. Sephora does not accept and is not responsible for JCP merchandise, so don’t send them that. All Sephora returns include free return label.
No, JC Penney promotions can’t be redeemed at Sephora stores.
Yes, you can pay with JCP credit card at Sephora.com. Terms and conditions of the credit card apply to all Sephora purchases. Another important thing – you can receive a refund on the JCP credit card for your return only if you send that item back via mail or return it to JC Penney locations with Sephora store in them. Sephora retail stores will not be able to process a return on JC Penney credit card.
No, currently JC Penney gift cards can’t be accepted at Sephora.
All products can be returned within 60 days of the purchase date. If something is below your expectations send it back right away. Return shipping is free, but original shipping is not refunded.
You can easily do that via your account. Upon signing up for an account you will be asked if you want to opt-in to email newsletters and various offers. If you already have an account and want to sign up for emails, you should access My Account and subscribe to Sephora emails. Email newsletters are the best tools to stay on top of all deals and sales happening at Sephora online and in-stores.
If you love outdoors and staying active, you have definitely heard of Cabela’s. You might have also heard that they are not cheap and can easily compete with REI, Dick’s, and Sportsman’s Warehouse. They got acquired by Bass Pro Shops recently, so there might be some changes in their coupons and sales policy. Let’s take a look at all those things and more:
Groupon doesn’t care that most retailers have Black Friday in November. It made its own rules and started Black Friday in October. Those extremely early Black Friday deals are short-lived, but good – up to 80% discounts and great door buster deals.
Groupon did not wait until November and won a great market share with deals in fashion, electronics, and various other aspect of life that can be found on its Black Friday occasion page.
Don’t rush into those great deals without reading the small print because often times the greatest deals are on refurbished or cosmetically imperfect items:
Don’t forget that Black Friday is on Friday, November 23rd. If you want to be with the winning crowd, look for best prices on toys. Don’t forget yourself too, after you find toys.
Ahead of this shopping holiday, we decided to take a deeper look to Chicago deals on Groupon, which can be similar to all other major city offers across the nation. Chicago definitely has a lot: it is home of the Bean, it’s got silent parties, comedy bars, countless bars, and Italian pizza that is a real thing. And best of all, you can experience all of that with some great prices, thanks to Groupon.

Loving nice things in life and designer creations doesn’t mean one has to spend top dollar or even pay full price. Words ‘frugal’ and ‘designer’ can and do go together. Getting Kate Spade’s leather handbags for ½ the price includes no magic; you simply need to know a few tricks and ways to get the best discounts possible. Let us share some tips that might put you on the right track for beautiful things with equally beautiful savings:
Our first advice is to forget those countless coupon aggregation sites. They can be good and their coupons can work sometimes, but you will have to spend a whole bunch of time looking for them and trying to apply all those expired codes. Instead of going in circles and getting frustrated, find one reputable site or source, which has systems in place to always provide valid coupons, and stick with it.
Consider trying Dealsport, which is like Google search engine for deals. Here you will always find valid discounts that will apply only to stores that you are shopping at. The information about tens of thousands of offers is neatly organized on their database and easily accessible in real-time.
When it comes to discounts on designer, like Kate Spade, handbags, sales are rare and hard to come by. Kate Spade is not known for frequent coupon codes, if any, so what is a girl to do? This is where Dealsport can really be of help.
When you enter “Kate Spade promo codes and coupons” on Dealsport, you will see top three results right away, and they look promising. First of all, you can see that Amazon offers up to 15% off Kate Spade and free shipping. Second, there are 2 coupons for 15% off with promo codes. One of those codes offered 15% off for the first Kate Spade order and free shipping. Clicking on this code will take you directly to Kate Spade website and let you apply it for some serious savings.
This code would work great for first time shoppers, but what do you do if you frequent Kate Spade so much they know you by name?
As it turns out, Dealsport has a community that post tailored one-time coupon codes that they don’t need themselves, so you can always find some of those that are meant for family and friends and received from Kate Spade or other retailers. You can also find some third party coupon codes that are at other retailers, which sell the brand you are looking for.
This is why we recommend checking Dealsport search engine before deciding on one bag or another and especially before clicking that “Buy now” button. This entire search will just take minutes, but can yield some spectacular savings. While you will enjoy that new handbag or diaper bag, your wallet will be celebrating the savings it’ll get for that bag.
For men socks are an absolute necessity, but very often people underestimate their importance in creating a stylish and trendy look. The right pair of socks will help you look better, feel more comfortable and confident. Moreover, investing in quality socks will save you money in the long run.
