Poll :: Hand-ball or floods?

replay
Thanks to brianclayton.ie for the image above.

Since our facebook fan page was just briefly shown on Six One News, between the two main stories right now : The handball and the rain.

Let’s have a quick poll ::

What are you most concerned about right now?
The crazy floods or Le HandBall!?

After voting check out the COOL “Urban Skimboarding (Cork Flood)” from James Whelton below ::

Food or Clothes?

Saving on Fashion

Are you finding it a bit difficult to look good for your social life and still have money left over to feed yourself for the week? Well I have a few things that might help you to look good for less!

Over at The Savvy Shopper, Sinéad is constantly coming up with great (and sometimes little known) bargains for shoppers, on clothes and accessories. Some of them are for actual stores and some for online stores but I would keep an eye on her blog or follow her @savvyshopperie on Twitter to keep up with the new offers as they come in. Also check out her Vouchers section for discount codes on some clothing websites and the Top Tips section for common sense ideas on how to save.

Maybe you prefer to browse the shops and try clothes on rather than browse the web for clothes and bargains? If so, take your ISIC card with you. If you check out this page on their website and input your location, it will give you a list of local stores and venues that accept the ISIC student card and give a discount, mostly 10%. You can purchase an ISIC card in your nearest USIT office, listed here.

Finally, the most obvious choice for discounted clothing are charity shops or second hand shops. No need to worry about turning up to a party in the same dress as someone else, for the most part these clothes will not be repeated anywhere else! They are inexpensive, unique, full of possibilities of bagging a vintage gem and as far as the charity shops go at least, your money is going to a good cause too.

Some of the more well-known ones are Oxfam, Barnardos, St. Vincent De Paul, CASA, Mrs. Quin’s Charity Shops. If none of those are in your area, you can check a fuler listing of charity shops in Ireland here.

Happy Shopping!
