Tips Of The Trade

Blogger and Style Forum senior member Deveandepot1 has assembled a great list of discount shopping tips, some of which even we've never heard.

Here's a sampling:

• Check a store's dressing room racks, stocked with preselected items.
• Small- and medium-sized guys shouldn't hesitate to inspect kids' sections.
• Fossill stores are filled with amazing deals.
• If you have a valid gripe, don't be afraid to request additional markdowns.
• Thrift stores are ideal for deals on ties and tie accessories.
• Young, female store clerks are most likely to dish on deals, and private sales.
• Take the time to explore new stores... Urban Outfitters in particular.
• Keep an eye on Style Forum!
