Can you stand yet another flash-sale site? Here’s a new one: Sneakpeeq. This site is much like Rue La La or Gilt, offering fabulous discounts on designer clothes, gourmet food, cute accessories, and home items.

The more active you are on the site, the more “badges” you can earn, which gets you discounts.
Right now, when you join Sneakpeeq, you’ll receive a free $10 user credit, which will be valid for one week after signing up. Here’s an example of some of the discounts you can get:
Sparkly Fringed Dark Green Scarf from Tickled Pink - just $7 after discount
