SUMMER is here and lockdown has eased which means more time catching up with friends.
Preparing herself for some fun nights out, fashion lover Grace Norris from Lancashire treated herself to a whole new wardrobe – and saved a whopping £245 in the process.

The 20-year-old administrator said she “loves to cash in on big sales,” and by knowing exactly “what clothes I need” she is always able to “find the biggest discounts.”
Grace decided to check out Asos during it’s “biggest ever sale event” and while it’s a popular fashion site featuring an array of popular brands, she has some tips to find the best deals – and using a secret sale site is key.
The fashion-obsessed shopper sure had her finger on the pulse as she predicted the upcoming sales which had items slashed by up to 80% off.
Speaking to LovetheSales.com, Grace said: “I noticed Asos started its ‘biggest ever sale event’ last week, with thousands of fashion items discounted at up to 70% off.

“I had a quick browse and the majority of deals I found were themed around ‘going out’ fashion.
“I had an inkling that with Monday’s announcement of a lockdown extension, there might be extra ‘going out’ clothing added to the Asos sale. Low and behold Asos supersized the sale, adding thousands of extra discounts with now up to 80% off.” [sic]
Rather than scour through the 70,000 sale items, Grace had another way to instantly find exactly what she wanted.
“I went onto deal marketplace LovetheSales.com, and used its discount filter to only see Asos sale products that had a 50%+ discount,” she revealed.

From this, she managed to spot a AX Paris cami strap mini dress for a huge 78% off the original price which she says is perfect to wear “for an evening meal out with the girls.”
“To go over my dress I bought a super trendy oversized blazer,” she continued. “My girlfriends paid north of £100 for their oversized blazers, I paid less than half that for my Forever U blazer, getting 68% off the price.”

Grace’s top tips for finding huge fashion deals:
1. Filter. Filter. Filter – Big sales can be overwhelming, all you want to see are the biggest deals that have your sizes left in stock. Filter by discount if possible, and filter by your size first to only see the deals you might buy.
2. Shop ‘off-brand’ – Some of the best savings I find in big sales are from not well known brands. Sites like Asos now feature customer reviews on products, which gives me more confidence buying brands I might not have heard of before.
