Hey ladies we all need new shoes sometimes right?!

American Apparel has always been known for their borderline  porn ads, featuring employees and models who are handpicked by founder, Dov Charney and his associates.

And it’s no secret that Charney, who’s actually Canadian, has had several sexual harassment suits filed against him by former employees. Click here if you don’t believe me.

So when it hit the interwebs, AA’s new, topless swimwear campaign barely made a splash. Maybe everyone, including the hipsters, are already desensitised? I know I don’t even bat an eye anymore!

I showed the ad to a friend of mine to gauge her reaction. She seemed unfazed and mentioned that she was referred to the store when she was looking for a pair of lace leggings. However, remembering an article that she read about the company (and its owner) made her rethink her options of where she would ultimately make her purchase.

So does knowing this information about the owner or the controversial ads themselves deter or encourage you to shop at American Apparel? Do you find ads like the one above sexy, exploitation, or just smart marketing?

February 26th Eddie Bauer stores, outlets and website are offering 30% off the ENTIRE collection. They have some wonderful classic pieces that never go out of style, so definitely check this one out!

The online code is: NINETYONE

Thanks couponlady

Shopping here bores me to tears! I actually never buy anything at the mall ’cause it’s expensive, poor quality, and there is really no selection.

If you want something “different”, you either hafta pay through the nose or scour through the racks at the thrift store. I do + can only afford the latter option.

So where do the fashion conscious/working gals with moderate budgets shop? H&M (okay, but not the best quality), Forever 21 (yes, even for the 30+ crowd, again fairly bad quality), or Winners (which requires patience to go through the racks). And forget about shoe shopping ’cause that’s particular abysmal!

And since the majority of the female population shop at these stores, I find everyone starts looking alike. There is very little individuality on the streets…in the ‘burbs! Downtowners aren’t quite off the hook either. 😉

So as this is the current state of affairs, I do do the occasional online binge – especially when it involves sales + free shipping!

Recently, I visited Asos.com to find out that they provide free delivery worldwide which is definitely a plus for deprived Canadians! NO MINIMUM SPENDING REQUIRED. It’s a UK site, so styles are slightly more edgy. (I hate the word “trendy”, btw.) Huge selection of clothing, including accessories, purses, beauty, and men!

Decent prices, deals to be found in clearance section. Prices are listed in £, so be sure to use a currency conversion site before you checkout!

On and offline, where do you do your shopping for clothes+shoes?

P.S. I sure hope the duties aren’t a killer.

Thank you to all the wonderful forum members whom helped combine this list or worked on logos.

Commercials have a habit of being right about stuff; if you don’t care for that chip in your windshield, one day (Tuesday in my case) it’s going to develop into a crack.

Now I have this crack in my windshield and my wife starts calling for quotes. 2003 Dodge Caravan full windshield replacement and the prices range from about $310 to $360. She gets bored of the process pretty fast as each time she has to answer the same questions: Is it a heated windshield? Does it have a red strip along the bottom? Are there black dots around the rearview mirror?

Finally, on the last place she calls she gets quite a quote of $330. She is so defeated at this point she decides to mention the other lower prices. The associate on the phone asks her to wait a moment and puts her on hold. Coming back a few seconds later he says he can do the whole thing, taxes in, for $283.

Windshields aren’t something I thought could be negotiated but after looking around online I have read it’s actually an excellent idea to try and price beat on car parts like windshields and tires.

It seems there is a whole market of things you can negotiate on I never thought of. Try it on jewelry, gym memberships, fresh food markets and search the web for other ideas. Try it at stores you never expected you could haggle in like Best Buy, Sears, and other big box retailers.

A few tips on making this work:

Pay in cash to save the merchant a transaction fee
Go during a quiet time
Bring prices from competitors with you
Always be polite

Sometimes the best coupon can be your own bargaining skill.  Is there any surprise deals that you’ve made, that you’d like to share your strategies?
