It Pays to Shop Around

This weekend I was in Stein Mart, a store I don't normally frequent. I found a really cool, vintage-looking dress for $40 that fit really well! But I digress...

Since I hadn't really been in there before, I took my time and perused the different departments. I found some Naturalizer* sandals that I really liked; Stein Mart's price was $59, and it said they normally retail for $79. Seems like a decent savings, right? I wasn't convinced.

Sure enough, I went back home [you iPhone users could have done this from the store -- fancy!] and checked Naturalizer.com, where those same shoes were on sale for $29.99! PLUS, I checked retailmenot.com for a coupon code, and got an additional $10 off my order.

Lesson: it's good to double-check prices, especially with the ease of doing so online. There might be an even better deal to be had.

*Style note: I'd also like to report that this comfort brand has come a long way in making really cute, and comfortable, shoes. Give them a look!
