Let's make a deal!

Why pay retail?  That's a question a store I can't for the life of me remember what it's called used to ask in it's commercials.  And it's a question I've been asking myself lately. 

Think about it.  You get a new pair of shoes.  (Of course they are fantastic...) You got them at maybe an online "shoe of the month club" like - Shoedazzle.  http://www.shoedazzle.com/invite/7vdkffrpd
When someone comments - comfirming they are indeed fantastic - your first instinct is to say "Shoedazzle!  $39!"  You see anytime someone likes something you've picked out - AND it was on sale - you always share the deal you got!  It's automatic.  Most of us couldn't keep from doing it if you tried. 

Then there are coupons.  They're everywhere.  Gone are the days of waiting for the Sunday paper and cutting out each individual .25 off little rectangle.  Now there are plenty of online places you can get the coupons for exactly what you need.    There's coupons.com, Couponsuzy.com, couponmom.com, smartsource.com.  There are TONS of them!  Just click, print and head to the Price Chopper.  BTW - Hen House will double coupons but I've found their prices are higher to start with.

The latest thing is online discount sites.  My personal favorite is Groupon. http://www.groupon.com/r/uu341416
It's things like Social Suppers, limo rides, gym memberships and lots and lots of restaurant discounts!  Everything is usually at least 50% off.  Sometimes it's like 70% off!  There's a different deal each day and you can pick your city.  So if you're planning a vaca, sign up for the Groupon in that city!  It's AWESOME!
There's also Living Social and Spreesy.  

That's dicounts.  What about getting an email once a day with great discounted items?  No More Rack!  Check out this link... http://www.nomorerack.com/?cr=304831.  Everything from $5 bra to $40 watch.  AWESOME! 

Choose one of these - choose all of these.  What ever you do ... don't ever spend more than you can afford and maybe this can help you afford more!!! 

And PLEASE!  If you have a coupon or discount site you like.. Share!!!

xoxo, Tif
