If you’ve ever been to an American Apparel, you’ve noticed the one thing absent from every single store. It’s the thing I beeline for in every store; if I’m shopping an AA, I constantly have to remind myself that said thing does not exist. It’s something called a SALE RACK and American Apparel does not have them. Ever. This leads us to believe that no new AA garment can be had for less of its retail price. We’re supposed to suck it up and pony it up and shut up about it, right? WRONG. A good Cheap JAP knows there is always a way. A GREAT Cheap JAP shares her discoveries so we too can know the way. This is why Alina, who passed on the following tip, rocks the hizzy.
I would be a terrible Cheap JAP in training if i did not send a fellow AA lover this:
American Apparel at amazon.com.
Tri-Blend Deep V-Neck Tees for $8.99, among other things. All legit AA, All ON SALE. All hail amazon.com, and Alina too. Girlfriend – you just shared your way to stellar shopping karma for liiiiife!
I actually JUST found this last week. Ordered a pair of their yoga pants. They fit perfectly, and I spent $20 INCLUDING shipping. Done and done.
June 5th, 2009 - 9:49 AMwait what these are legit?
seriously?
heyhey so if you order, you def have to share how legit these are. i’m still doubtful.
June 5th, 2009 - 11:33 AMYou and Alina are AMAZING for posting this. I am soooo freakin’ excited. Like beyond excited. Thank you (both) for making my friday freakin’ fantastic. =)
June 5th, 2009 - 6:56 PMI don’t know, 8.99’s a pretty decent price, but if you check out the ebay store Tuffy McPuggles (seriously), they sell multipacks of AA stuff for dirt cheap.
I now live by that website — especially since rumor has it they offer discounts for people who sign up for the newsletter (haven’t had this come through yet though).
June 5th, 2009 - 8:30 PMAA has a wholesale side. Does anyone know how much a wholesale order has to be? I’ve always thought it would be neat to put together an order for a large group–college friends, for instance. Or blog friends!
June 6th, 2009 - 4:50 PMI just bought their $44 Interlock Wrap Dress at beacons for 9.99… and I actually didn’t pay because I sold them some old clothes!
June 7th, 2009 - 10:50 PMAA has a sale section on the website, too, and the shipping is pretty cheap– only $7. But they don’t accept online returns in the stores!
