Save on Haute Couture

Once in a while the respectable fashionista enjoys a little splurging... but that much needed splurge could completely sap out your budget until the next payday. So what are we to do? Everyone needs a little high end couture in their closets, some silk there, some cashmere here.... but these luxuries come at a price (a very high one might I add). But don't worry, Miss Recession has you covered. It's easy to save tons of money on your bits of couture by using coupons. Coupon: (k(y)u-pohn) a ticket or document that can be exchanged for a financial discount or rebate when purchasing a product. But how to get coupons to the store your buying from right when you want to buy? Well that part is easy. There are many coupon sites out there that give out free printable and online coupons for your personal use. Here are a few of my personal favorites:
