TEAMBUY X AMERICANAPPAREL

My blog isn't called CHEAP THRILLS for nothing, dear readers. Not only do I get a thrill out of finding vintage items at rock-bottom prices, but I also love telling people about major deals! Which is why I have the overwhelming need to tell you about the newest cheap thrill on my radar: Team Buy has partnered up with American Apparel to provide Canadians everywhere with a deal you ~~shouldn't~~ can't refuse--for $25 you get $50 to spend towards any clothing or accessories at any Canadian location, as well as online (your choice!)

For those of you not familiar with Team Buy, it is a Canadian website that allows users to buy services and items within their city for a cheaper bulk price, without actually having to. Each event is dependent on a minimum number of buyers signing up; if the buy is successful, a Team Ticket is sent by email within 24 hours to those who purchased. If the target number of customers is not reached, the buy is not made available and no one is charged. Basically, it's a win-win, risk-free situation--what's not to love?

Personally, I love the idea of team buying. The best part is that everything is personal and local. You support local businesses, explore the city and save money while you're doing it. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty excited...I've already bought two! Can't wait to get my hands on some of the stuff I've been eyeing on the AA website.

1) Unisex Circle Scarf 2) Mesh Shirt 3) Cable Knit Pullover 4) Denim Disco Pants (!!!)
