- Honestly, like, knowing the original value
I'm, like, scared to touch it.
(elevator music)
- So today we're gonna do a discount challenge.
- We're gonna see who can get the biggest discount
on a prom dress.
- I love a discount.
I love a bargain.
I refuse to usually pay full price for anything
unless it's Forever 21.
- That is very good and healthy.
I am not like that at all.
I'm not a bargain hunter.
I'll take a bargain that comes to me,
but if it's something I really like
I'll just pay full price cause it's easier.
(elevator music)
It has to be a new outfit.
Cannot be something that's like being resold
on Poshmark or something.
- And it has to be in your size,
or what you think is your size.
May the best bargain shopper win.
- May they.
(jazz guitar music)
- [Chloe] I'm just gonna, I guess,
Google discount prom dresses.
I feel like this is exactly what Nina's gonna do though,
I don't know how to (beep) do it any better.
- My first instinct was to look at a store
that already kind of does discounts,
which, in my mind, is Nordstrom Rack.
Literally the second dress that I picked is 76% off.
It was $278 and, looking at it right now,
it's $65.98 on Nordstrom Rack.
- [Chloe] I've never heard of this website before.
This is 80% off.
That's a huge discount!
And then the other one I saw is this one,
which is the same discount.
These are the two options so far.
I tried looking at both the dresses elsewhere
and one brand name doesn't even exist
and the other one has some other dresses
and they're only like a hundred something dollars,
so I don't think the original price is $614.
- I found a pretty deeply discounted dress at Saks Off 5th.
It's normally $324, minus 79.99, so that's $244.
Currently that's the winner.
- [Chloe] I found ASOS' clearance area
and ASOS I go on all the time and this is RFP $445
down to $138 and it says Prom Dress.
Let's check out and just see what we can do
in the discount area.
- Just to be on the safe side I Googled
"what are discount sites?"
I came across one called Rue La La
and it's one of those ones where
you have to put in your email before
you're even allowed to look at anything.
- ASOS doesn't give you any discount for signing up
but they do have a student discount,
I'm not a student, but my manager told me that
she's a grad student at the moment.
Yes! Savings!
I'm gonna buy it. I'm done. I've got it.
- This feels like I actually found it.
I am currently staring at this dress.
Teri Jon by Rickie Freeman Floral Gown.
It used to be $700, it is now $99.99
and it's a really pretty dress.
I'm gonna buy it.
I'm gonna save $600 and one cent.
Our dresses are here.
- Eeee!
- I wanna see it before you tell me the price.
- Okay, I shall reveal it.
- Show me.
- In all it's glory.
- Oh, this is so cute!
- Oh it is cute.
It has a nice shape to it, doesn't it?
And it has, like, the little poufy thing.
- [Nina] It feels expensive.
- Yeah, it's all soft and sheeny.
- It feels very luxurious and it has nice cups.
- Yep, I like that you can just squeeze 'em.
Squeeze the little cups. (Nina laughing)
- I would very much like to know
how much this cost originally.
- So, ASOS says, and I couldn't find
this exact dress, but I did find the brand
and they are quite expensive dresses,
so I think it's true.
$445 it started off as.
- Whoa.
- Yeah, which I would never pay, ever.
- That's very expensive for like,
I mean it's a very nice dress.
- But still.
- But for a short prom dress, is a lot of dough.
- It's a lot, I would never.
It was on clearance.
It didn't have a size other than a size four.
And then, also, I got that student discount,
and with all of that I paid, let me check,
$110.80 and so I saved $334.20.
- That's really good!
That's a good discount.
- I think it's good and I thought it was great
until I realized, I think you've done better than me.
Now let's here about you.
- Do you wanna hear about me?
- Yes.
- Let me show you my little dress.
In keeping with the theme of me, it's black,
and everything I like to wear.
Oh it's like the little shoulder things.
- [Chloe] Oh it's off the shoulder.
Oh I like that!
- I really like that about it.
I was glad that I found something that like
I could actually see myself wearing.
- Yeah, I can totally see you in this.
This is very you.
- So I got it from Rue La La.
The original value of the dress was $700.
- (gasp) Wow!
- It's very expensive.
- Okay, bye!
(laughter)
- It's very expensive.
- Oh my God, that's so, well done.
- For that day the price of this dress was $99.99.
- Dude! That's incredible!
Oh my God I am such a loser.
That is so cool.
I can't believe you managed to find that.
I couldn't find anything close to that.
- It took quite a while.
- Okay well you deserve a clap.
- Thank you.
- There you go.
- We came out on top I think.
- I mean, you definitely came out on top.
I came out slightly below. - But we both did good.
We both did good.
