Savvy shoppers are discovering a new website, Shop It To Me which offers a free email service that's like an online personal shopper for sales.
It let's you know when the clothing brands you buy first become marked down in your sizes at retailers like Nordstom, Dillards, and more. You just go into the website, tell them what brands you like and what sizes you're looking for, and it will send you e-mails as often as you like showing you where those items are on sale and at what prices.
Kari Musselwhite, a high school English teacher in Mesquite, says she chooses to get her Sale Mail twice a week, and she loves scrolling through to see what bargains to be had.
"It's fun," she said. "It's kind of addicting, too!"
Some of Mussselwhite's favorite brands are Seven, Ann Taylor, Betsey Johnson and BCBG, and they are among the 250 brands online shoppers can select on the Shop It To Me website.
"You get to pick specifically the designer that you're interested in, and the stores that you're interested in," Musselwhite said.
