The best tips and tricks to shop the sale

Navigating a sale can be nothing short of exhausting, that's why we've compiled a list of the best tips and tricks from the bargain pros in the Aussie Markdown Facebook group. 

1. Select your gender and press 'all clothing', filter to your size and then sort the items 'price low to high'.

2. The early bird gets the worm and the same goes here. Start shopping ASAP to ensure the best selection of items in your size.

3. Search by brand in order to quickly narrow down your searches to items that you're looking for.

4. Stock up on summer buys to get ahead of the season.

5. If you shop for three selected sale items you can save even more.

5. Educate yourself about their returns policy, as most sale items can't be returned.

6. Make sure you're on the official website as there are a lot of scams happening.

Happy shopping!
