Ways to save! (Without looking for coupons)

Well, I am very broke so I am on hiatus from shopping. I still have some money from my quinceneara but I don't want to spend it all. I still have to have a college fund to fill. So how have I bought a ton with less than $100? Well I have some secrets.
1. Goodwill: Before you scream " Eww, that's gross" , going to Goodwill is in the words of Achmed The Dead Terrorist it's all about " location, location, location." I go to the Beverly Hills and Pasadena Goodwill'. You have to search and you can find good stuff. On my first day going to the Pasadena place I found a cute blazer, some oxford shoes, and some cutoff shorts. When you think about it you are technically shopping vintage. But some good vintage stores are Buffalo Exchange, Crossroads, and Jet Rag.
2. Good stores : Forever 21 has great sales, and some necklaces are $1.50. Like this elephant necklace i got

Ok this is from their website http://www.forever21.com/ but my camera is MIA and I haven't bought a new one. H&M and Nordstrom Rack are good too.

3. Sample Sales: I have signed up for Billon Dollar Babes. They have online sales as well as events all across the country. Also, if you live in L.A just go down to the fashion distict, they have great deals. ( But some fashion items may be knockoffs so look out if you want the real deal.)

Well hope you enjoyed my tips, if you have any you would like to share just add them to the comments.
