And I just bought a $14 pair of shoes...

...from Ross at lunch.  They are gold Nina's, with a huge bow and rhinestones of some sort.

They are a great option for my wedding shoes.

Easy peasy.

Then, I came back into the office and logged onto facebook to check out my most recent two "likes": Shoes of Prey and Milk & Honey.  I saw something intriguing in the Milk & Honey's posts:

So, I checked out giltcity.com (although the deal was actually listed under Lost Angeles instead of San Francisco).  The deal was great: $145 for a $225 credit (plus a pair of "No More Muffin Top" tights, whatever they are).  I considered...

Then, I jumped over to retailmenot.com to see if there were any coupon codes I could use.  And, I found this:

And, it worked!  I saved an additional $29 off the Gilt City deal.  So, I ended up with $225 worth of credit (plus tights) for $116.  

I'm not sure I'll use this for wedding shoes - but I was pumped at the amazing deal...  even if it did make my $14 Nina find a little anti-climatic ;)

Did you find any amazing deals while wedding shopping?  Any tips for saving money on some of the big ticket items?
