Everyone loves a deal and now a Canadian website promises 50 per cent to 70 per cent off designer fashions and high end merchandise.

Beyond the Rack allows fashion lovers to buy designer labels at discount prices. Online shopper Rose Demasi says checking the website is part of her daily ritual. Demasi says "I love designer goods -- but I love them even more when I can buy them at a discount." She has purchased Tom Ford sunglasses that retail for $500 dollars for $250. She also purchased a pair of designer boots that retail for $700 for $299.

Lori Krebs with Beyond the Rack says "It's not only high end items we carry. We sell goods that range in price from $30 to over $1,000. So we really try to have something for everyone."

Everyday at 11 a.m. ET, eight items go on sale for the next 48 hours or until they are sold out. You have to be a member to use Beyond the Rack but it's free to join.
