Asos is an online retailer that is based out of London England. It has no physical stores yet but has warehouses in the US to expedite delivery. The have many name brands such as Nike, Polo Ralph Lauren, The North Face and Adidas. They also have their brand and some other cost friendly brands. Just about anything you are looking for you can find it there on any budget.


If you are looking for something new and you are reluctant to pay the price for a name brand go online and purchase the item at a discount from Asos and see if it’s the item for you. This is perfect for the “trends” that may not be around in a year from now. You can navigate easily on their website and it is very user-friendly.

Asos is a very budget friendly retailer also. Whether you go for name brand of “knock off” it’s a better deal than many other retailers. One great feature they have is Premier Delivery. This is their discount 2-day shipping service. You pay $19 per year for this feature and you get unlimited 2-day shipping all year at no additional cost. This is their answer to Amazon’s Prime Delivery. They also have a student discount of 10% off all orders as long as you are attending school. Once you sign up on the Asos website they will email you a discount code to use unlimited times on every order you place. This is a great deal and it can come with massive savings depending on how much you order. Also, if that’s not enough all new customers get a one-time 15% off applied to their first order. At this time, they have an up-to 80% sale going on and they are some really great deals.


Asos also partners with Klarna, a buy now pay later company. Klarna allows you to purchase items and only pay ¼ of the total and it automatically withdraws the rest in 3 more payments every 2 weeks. I tried this out to see how it works and it worked great for me. I signed up for Klarna, purchased a pair of shoes, paid the first instalment and my order was shipped and I received it in 3 days. Klarna withdrew the payments as stated in the terms and conditions. I recommend purchasing with Klarna. To qualify with Klarna all you need is a debit or credit card, be 18 years of age and have a US residential address. It is also accepted at many other retailers. Go to Klarna.com or download the app for further details.

I placed 2 orders from asos on separate days. The first was a jacket I got on clearance. I felt since it was on clearance, I wouldn’t pay the extra for 2-day delivery and I would just wait. The jacket took about 8 days to receive. It wasn’t too bad, but I do prefer to get my orders quicker. It was delivered with FedEx Smart Post so I had to worry about the mail carrier delivering it to the wrong address. It was delivered correctly but it was shoved into our small mail box. I have to say it was an amazing jacket a vegan leather (faux leather) that fit amazing for $25. I love the jacket. In the future I will use their Premier Delivery though. My 2nd order was my shoes. These shoes were and outstanding deal. They were $40 cheaper than any other retailer. I paid extra for 2-day delivery (only $7.99) ordered them on Sunday and by Wednesday they were delivered to my door.


I definitely recommend Asos for all your fashion needs. Like I said they have all the new trends and the timeless fashion also. You can get everything from a full suit to athletic wear, socks to high-end watches. You can find almost anything your looking for and more. Their product descriptions are spot on. When you order something, you know exactly what you are getting and no surprises. If you do receive something and its not what you expect or is a wrong size. They have worry free returns and, in your order, you get a return label in the package. If you lose the label, they will email you a return label and all returns at no charge to you. Asos is now my go to for most of my fashion needs.

So, if you’re on a budget Asos is a great store to check out. I will continue to shop around and checkout online stores and find bargains for everyone. That’s what this blog and community is all about, getting the most for your money, more bang for your buck and make you look like a million bucks on a $100 budget.
