Ways to Really Save

If you have ever used a coupon at any retail store you will know it will often say in small print “cannot be used with any other discount or offer”. The one thing it doesn’t say is “cannot be used with store credit or a gift card”. This means big savings!!! Online discount websites are popping up left and right providing you with free coupons to save money on your purchases. These websites are not our competitors but more like our allies. For example www.retailmenot.com is a great site to save for online clothing stores and just about any website. Let’s take an example: You found some new pants from JCrew.com for $58.95 + Tax + Shipping and Handling for a total of $67.73. You looked on www.retailmenot.com and found two coupon codes. The first code was for free shipping which saved you $4.50 and then another for 15% off, which saved you an additional $8.85. Now you are already down to $51.47, and you just bought a $50.00 Gift Card from Bar’s List.com for $42.00. You just bought what was almost a $70.00 pair of jeans for a little over $43.00. That is a total savings of 36% or $24.00!!!
