So you want to live like a rockstar? Many of us wonder what it would be like to live like the wealthy, but unfortunately for us, we don’t have the money to do so. But don’t worry, here are four clever ways to live the good life on a non-rockstar budget.
Groupon
Groupon is an online marketplace with a large amount of deals for travel, spa services, products and hotels. In many instances, you can get 50 per—cent off original prices, like a 30-minute signature facial from Pure Image Skin & Body for just $25 or a stay at Design Suites in Miami Beach for $69 per night. Groupon and competitor Living Social are also becoming outlets for popular recording artists such as Wiz Khalifa to sell concert tickets. Khalifa likes the idea of selling tickets through discount marketplaces because he believes it’s beneficial for those who are out of the loop.
Buy wine on sale
Purchase wines that are on sale and online. Stores such as Total Wine have prices as low as $1.99 for their wine selections. Total Wine is in select locations, and you can choose to have your wine shipped to you or picked up at your local store. Wine case discounts are available daily, and you can save 10 percent when you purchase 12-plus identical 750 ml bottles.
AMIClubwear
AMIClubwear is a women’s clothing shop that always has low prices. Each season, staff travels to designer showrooms and picks out up-and-coming styles that keep you looking your best. You can find doorbuster deals for as low as $0.99 on shoes, dresses, two-piece outfits and swimsuits. For instance, a pair of black threaded pattern canvas fabric peep toe shoes will cost you just $0.99 as will black faux-leather slouchy knee-high boots. Thanks to this site, you do not have to spend a lot of money to keep up with the latest fashion trends.
JetSuite
This service sells last-minute seats on private jets that are scheduled to depart to certain places including the Bahamas and Martha’s Vineyard. If you don’t mind booking at the last minute and grabbing a few friends to go along, you will find yourself skipping security lines just like a CEO would. Just remember: You will need to be really flexible with your schedule to get these discounted deals.
