Another Awesome Website - Brad's Deals

Another cool website was brought to my attention.  It's called http://www.bradsdeals.com/. 

This is a sight that highlights savings.  You provide your email address, and Brad sends you daily deals.

The site also has deals listed.  They are categorized in tabs, such as, "Best Deals," "Most Recent Deals," "Online Coupons," "Printable Coupons," "Categories," and "Stores."

Here are a few examples of the savings that I'm seeing on the site as I type this:

1) Home Classics Reversible Down Comforter, regularly $219.99 for the King size, now $56 including shipping.

2) Kate Spade Hand Bag, regularly $325, now $167.99.

3) One year of Whole Living Magazine for $3.50.

There are printable coupons for things like: 

1) 40% off of a purchase at Bath and Body Works.

2) 10% off a purchase at Lowes.

3) 10% off an item at Best Buy.

This site is definitely worthwhile, and could potentially save you plenty of money, if you use these discounts and coupons to buy things that you were going to buy anyway.

Sincerely,

Another Awesome Website - Retailmenot.com

I've learned of another great website.  Whenever you buy items online, you should look for the "promotional code" box or "coupon code" box.  This is a box were you enter a special code.  Maybe the code was sent to you in an email, or a catalog, or in the mail.  You enter this code in the little box and you receive a discount.

What happens if you don't have the code?  Should you be punished for not having it?  I think not.

What if there were a website that has the codes?  What if this website received user feedback on whether the code worked for them?  Such a site exists.  http://www.retailmenot.com/.

1) Go to the SITE and enter the company name that you're looking for.

2) Click "Search"

3) Jot down the code.

4) Go to the site from which you're ordering, and try entering the code in the promotional code box.  Complete your purchase.

Did it work?  If so, go back to the SITE and give feedback.

I've used this on sites like Kohl's, Amazon, and Active.com.  It always pays to at least check.  Sometimes it's $5 off your order, other times it's free shipping.  It depends on the company and the offer at the time.  Enjoy!
