We all know the “early bird catches the worm.” But, in the 21st Century it’s more like “the early Tweeter catches the sale.”

In a world where Twitter, a social media website, has taken over the universe, it only makes sense that it should help us save big on our favorite designers.

Twitter is a “real-time short messaging service that works over multiple devices.” In fashionista terms, it means that users can send short messages to their followers using their cell phone, computer or other mobile device. Tweeters (users of twitter) can also receive messages from the people that they choose to follow. The site is free and very easy to use.

And now – the site can help you save big bucks on your favorite fashions. Many stores and designers have twitter accounts. However, budget minded Tweeters, stores and designers have taken it a step further to create “sale” accounts for a number of stores and designers. All you have to do is sign up for Twitter and follow these users. Whenever they tweet about a new sale or discount you’ll be in the know.

Check out a hot discount tweeted just this morning: 40% off Michael michael kors animal-print top @ Dillard's: http://bit.ly/4uqdvF. Originally $99.50, yours for $59.70. A savings of $40!

Here are a couple Tweeters you can follow to get started:
Michael Kors Sales - @KorsSales
Forever 21 Sales - @Forever21Sales
Old Navy - @OldNavyOfficial
Vera Wang - @VeraWangSales
BCBG - @BCBGSales

Shop smart, not hard.
