Like most of you out there, I am a HUGE fan of online shopping. In fact the majority of my shopping is done online. But... and this is a BIG BUT... you need to know to when you'll actually find a better deal in stores. When stores have additional discounts on clearance items, you will almost always find a better deal at the physical store as opposed to online. This is because the store have a greater need to get merch off the floor than the warehouse does. Here's a great example for you.
J Crew has an awesome sale going on right now! It's an additional 30% off the clearance items (I should have waited a day because when I went it was only 25%). I searched through the sale online for some items that I wanted. This way when I hit the store, I wouldn't be overwhelmed by the selection and could use my time more efficiently. I found this super fun work skirt online, seen below for $89.99 with an extra 25% off.
When I went to the store not only did I find the same skirt, but it was a fraction of the price. I got it for $29.99 with an extra 25% off... pretty good no? Total Savings: $105 off the original price and $45 off the online sale price. This skirt is great for spring and summer, plus it's a nice way to add a pop of color to the beginning of fall. Here's how I wore it ... sorry for the blurry pics I was in a bit of a hurry!
