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!

Where are those lovely leather chairs from?
I would love to put it towards a Nest thermostat.
Love PoachIt! I’ve been eyeing these Rag & Bone booties for forever… https://www.poachit.com/product/73949/Classic_Newbury_Booties
Oooh, I like this site! As new homeowner, I have been eyeing the Nest thermostat. https://www.poachit.com/product/407480/Nest_Learning_Thermostat_with_BuiltIn_WiFi
I’d pick up a piece for New Year’s Eve, something like this festive tank:
http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/4112257231134.jsp?cm_vc=SEARCH_RESULTS#/
I decided 3 years ago that I wasn’t buying another vegan leather jacket until I had a real one first. I can’t ever seem to muster up the courage to click “buy” though! A gift card would help make my leather dreams come true and I could bring home this bad boy: https://www.poachit.com/product/385085/Drape_Front_Leather_Moto_Jacket
https://www.poachit.com/product/405797/Eyelash_Stitch_Sweater
https://www.poachit.com/product/413845/Pure_White_Ceramic_Vases I’d buy a bunch of these vases!
I’ve been eyeing Apple TV this year. Would come in handy for my non-cable, single girl life. :)
https://www.poachit.com/product/276575/The_new_Apple_TV__Black_MD199LLA
I like this idea. I just bought my first home & I love that your can track Home Depot, Lowes, & Overstock.
I’d consider getting this sconce for my kitchen:
https://www.poachit.com/product/415135/Portfolio_Ellicott_1312in_H_Galvanized_Dark_Sky_Outdoor_Wall_Light
I would buy this crisp white shirt, I need a new one for work.https://www.poachit.com/product/414928/essential_white_boyshirt
https://www.poachit.com/product/329240/None
I use Pinterest for this too – if you type the current cost of an item you pin into the comments, you’ll get a notification of any price change – very useful!
Winter is coming so I’m going to need these (on sale): https://www.poachit.com/product/153608/Sorel_Tofino_Boot__Womens
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
An obelisk tuteur like this one. Our rosebush is out of control!
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0026RH56W/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1MWHKICPJM3G8&coliid=I3MN16QLFOXZK8&psc=1
Been eyeing these for awhile…
https://www.poachit.com/product/415484/Menko
$100 would make the ipad air 2 (slightly) more affordable:
https://www.poachit.com/product/415467/Apple_iPad_Air_2_64GB_WiFi__Gold
i’ve had my eye on these boots FOREVER! i can never pull the trigger but i know they would last forever
https://www.poachit.com/product/179403/KEEN_Womens_Delancey_WP_CNX_Boot
https://www.poachit.com/product/415511/gramercy_grand_bracelet_watch_38mm
I don’t really need a new coat, but I’d sure like one — and a $100 gift card would make it a little easier to justify!
I like the idea of this! I have a folder in my bookmarks called “waiting to go on sale” and I check thru it once in a while but sometimes I do miss an item going on sale.
https://www.poachit.com/product/415147/Gramercy_Grand
I love PoachIt! It’s such a great idea. I’ve been so close to pulling the trigger on a media cabinet from West Elm and this might be the time.
https://www.poachit.com/product/267696/MidCentury_Media_Console__Small_Acorn
Love these cute flats from Anthropology
http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/shoes-flats/33097742.jsp#/
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.
https://www.poachit.com/product/415531/Tivoli_II_Waterproof_Boot_Women
Love this! I’d probably buy some nice new workout clothes!
Love this rug (and this service)! https://www.poachit.com/product/415587/Fes_Wool_Shag_Rug__Ivory__Slate
It’s coats and jackets season and that’s all I’ve been thinking about. I have my eye on this jacket: https://www.poachit.com/product/415988/Petite_Faux_Fur_Trim_Hooded_Anorak. Thanks for the giveaway!
https://www.poachit.com/product/415324/Cerrillos_Cardigan
I would definitely be able to splurge on the gorgeous Joules coat I’m loving. https://www.poachit.com/product/411952/Womens_Luxury_Padded_Jacket_Cocoa
https://www.poachit.com/product/415336/Golden_Flowervine_Tank
I would love a new wool winter coat. My old one looks great on the outside, but the lining is almost completely gone. I’d go for this! https://www.poachit.com/product/415595/Lady_Coat Thanks!
https://www.poachit.com/product/391033/UGG_Ansley
Some warm fuzzy slippers!
https://www.poachit.com/product/407480/Nest_Learning_Thermostat_with_BuiltIn_WiFi I have been toying with the ira of getting a Nest thermostat and would absolutely do so with this gift card.
What an awesome service! This is basically how I use Pinterest but with significant manual overhead removed. Yay! My dream object is this Hex side table from West Elm; I’ve been lusting after it for AGES!
Thanks for hosting this giveaway! I would buy this beautiful Kate Spade Saturday coat: https://www.poachit.com/product/416322/ALINE_COAT
I would probably buy these boots: https://www.poachit.com/product/414623/Oversized_Teardrop_Gore_Bootie
They are pretty cute, and look like they’d be great for stomping around town in.
I need a new phone… trying to save up for a new one…
https://www.poachit.com/product/44337/Samsung_Galaxy_S4_I9500_Unlocked_Cell_Phone__Black
I’d sure love to rock this sweater dress this holiday season, but not at full Anthro price. Poach me!
Oops – here is link: https://www.poachit.com/my_tracks/kristinrborland/products
I have always wanted to create links to sites I thought the Bloggers I follow would find interesting but never knew how it is done. Can anyone give me a tutorial. Thanks
i really need a dyson. i just got a second dog and the extra hair that accumulates in my house now calls for heavy artillery!
https://www.poachit.com/product/415779/Dyson_DC59_Motorhead_Cordless_Vacuum
I want to get this one https://www.poachit.com/product/415338/LeatherTrim_Asymmetric_Car_Coat
kraftmaking at gmail dot com (HS)
I signed up! I need this in my life! I’m really pining for a pair of gorgeous stackable rings like these: https://www.poachit.com/product/336024/Deco_Stackable_Rings
I’d probably use it on the 3 drawer filing cabinet from CB2
Poach It is a great idea! Thanks for sharing! https://www.poachit.com/product/416909/Morten_Table_Lamp__White
I want these shoes SO BAD!
https://www.poachit.com/product/271925/Elsie_suede_pumps
I’d love this Madewell vest – so festive. https://www.poachit.com/product/382571/woolrich_buffalo_plaid_vest
Anything from Anthropologie really! Especially this pencil skirt!
https://www.poachit.com/product/415344/Slit_Jacquard_Pencil_Skirt
Is it lame to buy fuzzy slippers? I don’t care; it’s already feet freezing weather where I live!

this would work for me!
Cool service! I’m kinda digging these jeans: https://www.poachit.com/product/387707/Josefina_Rolled_Hem_Jean
What a neat service! I’m in desperate need of new maternity clothes:
https://www.poachit.com/product/417314/New_Look_Maternity_Heart_Print_Cut_and_Sew
I’m not that sure about joining Poach it, but I need everything in that second photo – the leather chairs, lamp, wallpaper, and that table! Can we get sources for those?
Thanks!!
Comfy booties for the winter. https://www.poachit.com/product/415480/Desert_Wedge_Bootie_Women
This throw looks so warm and soft. https://www.poachit.com/product/409360/Threshold_Cable_Knit_Sherpa_Throw_Blanket__Cream
boots!
https://www.poachit.com/product/318908/FRYE_Womens_Melissa_Button_Boot
I love this idea! I’m always pinning or bookmarking things I want and then totally forgetting about them. https://www.poachit.com/product/417540/Frye_Calf_Hair_Bull_Keychain
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
What a clever site! I signed up and put a nintendo 3ds on my tracking list. My kids really want one for christmas! https://www.poachit.com/product/108981/Nintendo_3DS_XL__Blue_Nintendo_3DS_XL
this! https://www.poachit.com/product/339065/Metal_VaseVotive_Holder__Brown
I’d love this light fixture in the Dining Room. I just need a sale, coupon code, or a $100 gift card!

https://www.poachit.com/product/417812/Glass_Orb_Chandelier__Opal
I love this Elizabeth and James Maru cuff– amazing.
https://www.poachit.com/product/417664/Elizabeth_and_James_Maru_Cuff
I really like this lantern!
WOAH. That site is AMAZING!! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing it! This would be my magical purchase.. I’ve been visiting this lamp online for over a year, and I need a lamp for my desk so badly!
http://www.landofnod.com/gold-rock-lamp-base/s310638

this cute side table https://www.poachit.com/product/413980/Natural_Tree_Stump_Side_Table
I’d definitely be picking up this:
https://www.poachit.com/product/393323/tailored_tee
I would use it to buy the Sanctuary Suede boots from Nordstroms
I would buy this:
https://www.poachit.com/product/145881/Keurig_K10_Mini_Plus_Brewer
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:
https://www.poachit.com/product/419103/Signature_Womens_LLBean_Boots_16_ShearlingLined_Colorblock
I would buy vases :)
https://www.poachit.com/product/413845/Pure_White_Ceramic_Vases
I would buy pretty much every basic on Madewell’s site!
https://www.poachit.com/product/419725/essential_white_boyshirt
I’ve been looking for a simple, geometric rug in navy for our bedroom, so I’d have to get this: https://www.poachit.com/product/416133/Knotted_Diamonds_Wool_Rug__Regal_Blue
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.
I recently got a DSLR and now I think I’d quite like a tripod. So how about this one: https://www.poachit.com/product/365733/Sunpak__PlatinumPlus_Ultra_6000PG_61_Tripod
https://www.poachit.com/product/56300/Reversible_Pebbled_Bomber_Jacket_RolledNeck_Jersey_Tee__HighWaisted_Stretch_Jeans looks pretty sweet! Would <3
Ooh.. This could be dangerous!
https://www.poachit.com/product/412125/Glass_Shelf__Basic_Brackets
How lovely and generous of you. I’m in the process of finishing up my home office/studio and think this settee would be an awesome addition. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
https://www.poachit.com/product/301358/Captains_Settee
A great pair of jeans!
https://www.poachit.com/product/416547/skinny_skinny_jeans_kneerip_edition
I’m pretty sure I’d hunt for all sorts of things, but since I need to pick…

I would love to buy this chair. Been coveting it for awhile now! https://www.poachit.com/product/422100/Huron_Large_Lounge_Chair__GraySeal

Thanks for recommending this site! It will be super useful for tracking things. I’d love to buy these boots!
https://www.poachit.com/product/427687/Nylah_Leather_Military_Boot_Women
Where could one buy the leather chair with the wood frame (upper left of your post)? Love it.
I really need a good vacuum. As un-sexy as it is, mama needs a good tool since she has to use it all. of. the. time!
https://www.poachit.com/product/427750/Dyson_DC33_MultiFloor_Bagless_Vacuum_20506201
I have been eying this dress for a while. Thanks for introducing me to Poachit!
https://www.poachit.com/product/421132/Chevron_Panel_Dress
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:

This is a great idea! I would get a duvet for my new home!
https://www.poachit.com/product/430451/PB_Essential_Duvet_Cover__Sham
I would love pretty much anything from School House Electric, but especially these sheets!
https://www.poachit.com/product/431980/Woodland_Meadow_Sheet_Set
I’d buy a reading lamp for my bedroom! My second is going to be born in February and it would be so great to have for all of those nighttime nursing sessions!

This duvet is just beautiful :)
Love this duvet (now with link :) ) https://www.poachit.com/product/212649/coral
I would buy some sweet black ankle boots.
I love this bee wallpaper https://www.poachit.com/product/439000/Bee_Colony_Wallpaper

i’d choose these!

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
