There’s something about stalking your prey, watching and waiting until just the right moment and then pouncing with gusto, exultant in the fact that you’ve bought that coveted pair of shoes at seventy percent off.

Hello, my name is Chris Cannon, and I have an online clearance shopping addiction. I used to stick to shopping at Kohl’s, refreshing my email inbox,waiting for my coveted 30% off coupon. As I type, I sit here wearing a $32.00 shirt which I purchased for $3.20. It was on sale for 60% off. I used the 30 % off coupon, and paid 10% of the original price. I get a rush just thinking about it.

Then I discovered www.retailmenot.com,  a site which allows you to find online and in-store coupons for hundreds of retailers. I no longer had to wait for coupons to arrive on my doorstep or in my inbox, I could go directly to the source. Thus started a love affair with www.6pm.com, a clearance site for shoes and clothes where I purchased a pair of leopard spotted Sperry’s for $40.

My most recent discovery is www.liketwice.com. It’s an online resale shop where high-end clothing sells for about 30% of its original price. I bought a like new, $68.00 jacket for $12.00. Plus, if you don’t like an item, return shipping is free. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Do you have a favorite online shopping site or secret addiction?
