I have always held the misconception that online shopping was something only the affluent could enjoy. But after comparing prices and finding out about some of the awesome sales that these fashion stores sometimes have, my tune has changed.

Zando (www.zando.co.za) is one such boutique, and I am now officially hooked. Delivery is free if you stay in South Africa and they give you a R50 voucher when you join their online shop. As a member you will also be notified every time a sale takes place. You have all the latest fashion available at your fingertips with a variety of men and women’s clothes and accessories. For a more rounded shopping experience visit groupon (www.groupon.co.za) with discounts on food, travel, fashion and everything in between. They eliminate the admin that comes with standing in long queues and if you can live through the ”spam” the random R50 vouchers they drop you won’t hurt your pocket one bit. So here’s to a new generation of shop-till-you-drop.
