Before you shop at one of these online sample sales, check out these tips for getting in on the sale madness!

1. Find out what time the sale starts and get online as soon as it does. Many sites only carry a few items in each size and they best pieces sell out in minutes.

2. Know the store's return policy. Some of them are for credit only, or some allow returns but within a certain number of days. Sometimes these online sample sales feature final sales on deeply discounted items up to 90% off! Great deal - but if the item doesn't fit, you must be willing to accept that fact, or do what I do and sell it on eBay to recoupe what you spent!

3. Understand that most items are from a prior season. As long as you understand this, you can find classic pieces from prior seasons that will still work in your wardrobe for many seasons to come. Great jeans, classic dresses and tops and handbags will become staples in your closet regardless of the season.

4. Don't get sucked in and be willing to walk away. If all the good stuff goes before you get online - don't let your adrenaline get the best of you and buy something you won't wear. If you don't find what you were looking for, there will always be another sale...and we should know - we do a weekly rundown of what sales are coming up online! Also, check and make sure the sale price is really a good deal. Sometimes you find great items at over 50% off, and sometimes the prices don't really seem that good...so if not, hold out for another sale.
