Here's news that's bound to make you feel good about your designer discount shopping.

Though Chloë Moretz can definitely afford to splurge on her wardrobe, it turns out the 16-year-old is a frugal fashionista—or, should we say, Maxxinista?

That's right, the Kick-Ass 2 star hit discount retailer TK Maxx (the British version of T.J. Maxx) in London earlier today to squeeze in a little retail therapy in between promoting her latest film.

And judging from her stuffed shopping bags, the teen star definitely enjoys a good bargain! 

Moretz, who looked casually chic for her shopping trip in a fab floral tee, black skinny jeans and smoking slippers, exited the shop with two bulky bags of clothing.

But just because she enjoys a little discount shopping doesn't mean she isn't a fan of the finer things in life.

In the Septembetr issue of Glamour, Moretz opens up about her love of fashion—and access to designer duds that come straight from luxury fashion houses.

"Fashion is my break," she admitted to the magazine. "To go away to Paris and talk about clothes, that's like my princess time. I'm young, so I can play around. I'm lucky designers dress me, so I'm able to wear really, really, really crazy stuff!

But she looked anything but crazy in her chic photo spread for the women's magazine, which sees her striking a pretty pose in the same $1,290 Saint Laurent by Hedi Slimane wool sweater and $2,950 floral dress that Amanda Seyfried wore for her a recent Elle shoot.

And while we've seen her stun on the red carpet in everything from Chanel to Louis Vuitton, Moretz recognizes that even some pricey designer fashions are currently out of her reach.

"But there are brands that say, 'We can't dress you until you're 20,'" she confessed. "People who buy their clothes don't want to see a $50,000 dress on a 16-year-old!"

Looks like we can expect to see her hitting up those designer discount stores until her 20th birthday!
