There are not many people left who have not at some point heard of Overstock.com. If you have never shopped there, its something you really need to consider. The savings and sale percentages that are off each item are incredible deals, year round. And often, there are coupon codes that can be found in various locations for free shipping or extremely low cost shipping, around a dollar.
Because Christmas is around the corner, and I am always trying to find great gift ideas, I decided to browse Overstock.com to get some ideas.
Their departments are excellent, because there is something for everyone. They have Home and Garden, Jewelry and Watches, Sports and Toys, Electronics and Computers, Apparel, Shoes and Accessories, Worldstock Handcrafted, Entertainment, Health and Wellness and Gifts and Flowers.
Not only is each department separated by sections, there are tons of items that are up to eighty percent off in each category. One thing that really impressed me was the quality of the items. Many of these items I’ve seen first hand in department stores here locally and are quite a bit pricier than their cost at Overstock.com
Being the frugal gal I am, I did a lot of comparison shopping before clicking the purchase button. I couldn’t find prices that were any cheaper on many of the items. Of course having the ability to shop at home in my PJ’s was a definite plus as well.
I loved that there were several places where I could click “under $25.00” and view all the items. It was able to find some really nice gifts that really didn’t cost anywhere near what I would have paid. There are several other options, such as “under $50.00” all the way up to “under $200.00” which I wouldn’t have spent anyway, but I liked the option to search that way.
I needed to purchase several toys as gifts, and something I really found that I liked was that they had many items that were geared to older kids and were not inundated with toddler and children’s toys, which it seems many websites are.
Overall my total cost on Christmas gifts that I purchased was $163.88 and the savings I received was $413.22 off of what I would have payed anywhere else. I got more than half of my Christmas shopping done at one place (the kids are completely finished), and I was able to sit back and relax knowing I’m more than halfway done and it’s only the middle of November!
The standard shipping was actually really fast. There are only 32 shopping days left at Overstock.com before the standard shipping cutoff so be sure to get over there and check out the prices.
