To buy the dress or not to buy the dress...

StarCrossed

Hiya,

I've found a dress I really, really want to buy for my Christmas parties at work this year (I have two and a few family ones).

It's on the Lipsy website and is brand new and £60.

I have, just this month, started the new envelope system to try and budget myself and, although I have petty cash I wasn't planning on buying the dress until next month.

HOWEVER... being the savvy MSE type I'm learning to be I've found a discount code for £10 off which would take it down to £53.75 including postage.

The code runs out today though

What is more money savvy. Buy it this month with the discount or buy it next month when I'd planned to buy it without the discount... Lipsy don't seem to do that many discount codes I've noticed.

Any advice please!

if you go via "topcashback" you get another 6% back-though its usually about 2-3 months before you get the maney back!

It might not be there next month. Shops do have a habit of having limited runs and bringing in new lines, especially at this time of year. If it's "the one", best buy it now.

Get as much discount as you can and get the dress bought You'll kick yourself if it's gone next month.

I'm very careful with money but sometimes I just buy something if I like it. As long as the family aren't going hungry and the bills get paid theres no harm done.

Buy the dress :j

Keep an eye on ASOS (they stock Lipsy), They always have money off codes and free delievery promotions :j

Since you were going to buy the dress anyway then if you have the money available already (ie not coming out of the bills fund ) then would say go for it while you can get the discount.

I bought the dress in the end and got free shipping and went back a cashback site and got about £3.

Arrived yesterday and it's LOVELLYYYYYYYY! I can't wait to wear it!

I put it on my credit card and is my monthly "put-something-on-credit-card-to-make-credit-look-good-then-pay-off-in-full" so it even helped improve my credit rating!

Thanks for convicing me everybody

I haven't read all the replies, so I hope you haven't bought it yet! ASOS have 20% off Lipsy online and the dress I want is also £60, but down to £48 on ASOS. Free posting with deliveries over £78. So If you found yourself some shoes and accesories to go with your dress, the shipping would be free! Do it!

Dammit! Noticed your last post. Oh well, I'm glad you got your beloved dress . I'm excited it's party season too! I bet you look smokin' in it heh.

I don't know how long the ASOS promotion is on for, but it's not JUST Lipsy. It's 20% off ALL brands at the moment. So get in whilst you can girls!
