If you’re not already familiar with the flash sale site Zulily, what are you waiting for? Zulily offers 40% – 86% off clothing for your whole family, plus electronics, home goods, toys, beauty products, and more. And these aren’t your typical low-cost brands.

We’ve gathered our best insider tips along with a list of the best things to buy on Zulily to make even a Zulily newbie feel confident.

Your Cheat Sheet to the Zulily Bestsellers
1. Buy smartphone cases for as low as $2.29.
At just $2.29 a pop, you’ll end up paying more in shipping fees than you’ll spend on this pineapple smartphone case. Normally your first item from Zulily will cost $6.99 to ship, and each additional item is an extra $2.
But don’t worry, we’ve got a trick for that so shipping on such a small item will be free. Try making one small purchase in the morning to unlock free shipping for the rest of the day.
For example, buy the shoes you’ve been eyeing in the morning and pay the $6.99 shipping for that order, then treat yourself to as many smartphone cases as you’d like in a separate order later that day. Shipping on subsequent orders will be free the rest of that day until 11:59 p.m. PT.
Another option: make your initial purchase on a Friday and get free shipping on everything else you want all weekend long until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday.

3. Expect up to 80% off top clothing and shoe brands.
Without a doubt, the best category to buy from Zulily is their clothing and shoes. And their deals can save you on items for everyone in your household.

TIP: Even though these types of discounts more than cover shipping costs, Zulily’s initial shipping fee of $6.99 (plus $2 shipping for each additional item) still doesn’t feel great. Before you make a purchase, memorize these tips for how to get free shipping on Zulily.

5. Save up to 76% on the Luvmabelly maternity line on Zulily.
Finding comfortable, cute maternity clothes for cheap can be a real chore, especially because you can only wear the clothing for such a short time.
The Luvmabelly line on Zulily is soft and comfy, and they often feature deals for over 70% off, like this pair of maternity overalls marked down to just $29.99 (regularly $125.99). They’re available in Plus sizes, too.
6. Cross holiday items off your shopping list for up to 70% off.
Most retailers will get you to pay full price for holiday items, only to seriously slash the prices as soon as the holiday is over. Not Zulily!

Get Betsey Johnson sunglasses on Zulily for as low as $14.99 (regularly $38) or Luv Betsey by Betsy Johnson handbags for as low as $17.99 (regularly $48).
