I tend to shop for specific clothes only when I need them. A new coat because my old one has become threadbare, or more recently, a few nursing-friendly shirts in my current size. While I’m browsing for the best options, I invariably come across a few finds that I certainly don’t need, but that I do like a whole lot. I’ll often think ‘maybe I’ll pick this up if it goes on sale’ but then I forget to check up on it regularly. I’ve missed out on many an item that went on sale for a great price, but now I’m using PoachIt to keep track of things so that won’t happen again.
I’m not exactly jumping up to buy all the things! but I do like to be aware of when the stuff I’ve had my eye on goes on sale, and that info can help me decide what to purchase and when. The service works with over 5,000 stores (I’ve been using it on sites like J. Crew, Anthropologie, Nordstrom, and Madewell), and there’s a browser extension (like the ‘pin it’ button) that makes it easy to keep track of items. When the price drops on something you’ve tracked, PoachIt sends you an email, but you can also view your tracked items, follow favorite merchants, and find valid coupons via the website or app.
Besides clothing and things to wear, I’ve been keeping tabs on some of my wish list items for the house. I would love to grab any of these if the day comes that the price is right!
Now with the holiday season upon us, I’ve started using PoachIt for my home and for gift shopping too. I’m not a fan of hitting the Black Friday sales in person, but I do take advantage of the online sales that accompany it and Cyber Monday. Now it will be even easier to pick up the items on my list at a good price (and maybe treat myself to a little something when everything goes on sale again after the holidays).
Giveaway
One winner will win a $100 AMEX giftcard to shop for any item they want! Just go to PoachIt, sign up for an account, then comment back on this post with a link to the item you’d want to buy with the gift card if you won. (I’d probably go for that hat I’m tracking; I can never bring myself to buy a nice hat for myself.) One entry per person, and you must be a US resident and enter by midnight CST on December 1st. Good luck!

I’ve been using PoachIt for my wardrobe wishlist but never thought of it for home goods! Currently tracking some new workout gear but definitely could add a few apartment items

LOVE this. I am constantly trying to keep track of all the things I don’t NEED but want (therefore not wanting to spend full price on whatsoever). In the Christmas spirit, I kinda love these cute (but totally unnecessary) Christmas pajamas from J. Crew:

I joined but I can’t seem to get a Poachit URL like everyone else. I’m on my iPhone and when I use Safari to access Poachit.com it only lets me follow stores? Anyway I need a new iPad (hence the surfing on my phone only these days!) and I added a few to Poachit to let me know when the Black Friday prices hit! Good timing.

Oh thank God! Ever since Hukkster closed, I was wondering how I was going to keep track of when things went on sale. I have a problem where I’ll see something I really like, bookmark it, and then when I go back to check on it, it’s been marked down and sold out. Which, while good for my wallet, isn’t conducive to finally finish decorating my home.
If I’d win, I’d get these to:

Okay so I while I’d love to have $100 to spend on myself I would most likely use it on my little ones. Seeing them open a present that makes that happy is way better.
So my 2 year old has become Frozen obsessed and as much as I hate to admit it, it is actually quite adorable. Her singing in that tiny voice… or yelling “It’s coronation day” from her crib is priceless. I’d love to snatch this up for her pronto: https://www.poachit.com/product/401148/Anna_and_Elsa_Doll_Gift_Set__Disney_Animators_Collection

I feel like I had this idea…but of course I didn’t do anything about it. Anyway, great idea! I am tracking these snow boots from Nordstrom, my favorite store, with amazing customer service. We’re getting our first snow of the season tomorrow, just in time for Thanksgiving travel, so even if the price doesn’t drop on these soon, I know I’ll need them in the future.

Well…I may be the only blogger left who doesn’t have Hunter boots. So I think I would probably go for that! I just can’t bring myself to splurge on them, but $100 would certainly help nudge me in that direction ;) https://www.poachit.com/product/415470/Original_Tall_Gloss
