Bargain Hunter
I love shopping, especially when I can get a bargain.
Last week I needed to buy a yellow rug for Laurel (more on that in another post, pending transaction…). I narrowed in on a cool rug and found a merchant offering the best price plus free shipping. At check out I saw the coupon/promotional code entry box, Googled the vendor name + “coupon” and in a matter of minutes came up with an active coupon code for 10% off; I ended up saving $30 on my rug.
So next time you're shopping online, take a minute to check for coupons or promotions (via search engine, or our Mama Loves a Bargain offers affiliate promotions). One caveat: some sites aren’t great about pulling down expired codes. A good rule of thumb is to decide how long you are willing to poke around (10 minutes is my maximum); and perhaps be specific in your search to start (e.g., vendor name + “coupon” or “promotion code” + “expires” to get a code with a listed expiration date).
