How many pieces of clothing do you own?

A friend recently mentioned that her roommate owned 60 pairs of jeans. 60! Apparently, they started counting while packing the apartment in preparation for a big move. I was stunned. Is it possible to own 60 pairs of jeans?!

But before I judge my friend’s roommate (it may be too late) I decided to count everything in my own closet. Here is my inventory of my entire wardrobe, including summer, winter, sporty, and any maternity clothes I have not gotten rid of.

Saving money with an online co-op

Saving Money on Household Items With an Online Co-Op

Until recently, co-ops brought to mind farmers, vegetables, and hippies, but I recently stumbled upon a world of online co-ops that  bring deals of 20-70% off right to my door.

An online co-op pools the buying power of individuals to get wholesale prices on items directly from the manufacturer. There is a co-op “host” who arranges the order with the company, takes shipment, repackages the orders, and ships them to each individual buyer.

I’ve found online co-ops for baby items (clothing, books, cloth diapers), jewelry, accessories, clothing, kitchen items, cosmetics, handbags, electronics, and more. Along with the potential savings come some inconveniences and risk. Being informed is the best way to nab a great deal.

Here are 9 ways to save money with an online co-op. (more…)

Recommerce: An Ecommerce Trend that Save You Money – Dedicated

, , No Comment

Ecommerce has been a huge win for bargain hunters worldwide, allowing people to search for the best deals from the comfort of home (or on the go with a mobile app) and opening up global markets for local sellers. “Recommerce” – the buying and selling of functional second-hand products – has been a part of the online marketplace since its inception, but lately, it’s gaining more traction in ecommerce circles, particularly the used electronics market.

For example, if you want to sell your iPhone 4S to offset the cost of an upgrade to the iPhone 5, a recommerce site can be a great alternative to attempting to find a buyer yourself, which can quickly turn into a major hassle. A recommerce site allows you to choose a bid from a trusted buyer, and it can be a much better option than dealing with the time and expense involved in selling the item yourself or, worse yet, parking your still-serviceable smartphone in a drawer.
