Discount Online Shopping

This nanny loves to shop. There is no doubt about that. With a smaller income than most people, I have to shop around for bargains. Online shopping can be quite a bargain if you know where to look. And from past experience, I learn that we Aussies can beat the exorbitant postage when buying stuff from overseas by combining our purchases to create a bigger order. Many companies offer savings on postage for bigger orders. Luckily, I also have accommodating relatives overseas to receive packages for me because some companies offer free local postage/delivery.

I have been invited to a baby shower and with Christmas coming up, I am itching to get something from GAP for myself as well. Someone from the US also spoke highly of a store called the Oriental Trading Company and I am keen to get a few things from them. They have arts & crafts items that are not available here. They also have other Teacher’s Resources. According to the couponchief.com, one of the Oriental Trading Company coupon is an offer of free shipping for orders over $60.00. (This offer expires on Oct 18th) I am pretty sure that this is referring to local shipping within USA. There are also deals for shopping at Gap online store. There is a Gap coupon for Free Shipping for purchase above $50.00 if the items are paid for with a Gap Card. Unfortunately, I don’t have a Gap Card. If shopping for children for this Christmas, check out also the deals from couponchief.com for kbtoys.com. This toy store is jam packed with stuff for fans of licensed characters. People looking for these type of toys will love the KBToys coupons. They also have other toys and baby gear. I like visiting kbtoys.com to see what is available. There are things available in the US that we can’t get here in Australia. This is true too for things in Japan. There are heaps of things made for the Japanese market that are never going to make their way to Melbourne.

Some people are content with what is available locally. I tend to like to see what is available outside my zone. I have bought things from overseas and the experience has been great so far. Sometimes I prefer the online service than what I receive in real shops. I have to say that online shopping has made it easy for many people who do not jet around the world every time they wanted to buy something.
