www.BdayDeal.com

This is a freebie site that has everything!!!!! The cool thing about this site is that they show you pictures of the deal (kinda like yelp i guess), and you can search by location (you can save your time and find what you're looking for around your area), by categories or by keywords yummy

That's great. Try not to think about it and it could help.

Frontpage deal at Perfumamia

I stacked the two codes and bought $116 in colonge for only $40.48 including tax.
One code gives you $10 off $50 with free shipping and the other gives you 25% off.
One of the colonges I have wanted since my 2010 cruise in March.
Three free samples included free with my order too.

Whee

Facepalm

I found another $10 off code that stacks as well. (ENT15)

I placed another order with the three discounts and bought some early Christmas gifts and some deeply discounted colognes that I know I like and a couple I wanted to try for 74% off msrp.

I tried to call customer service, but they are not open yet.
I will try to apply the third code, if they let me, or I will cancel the first order and replace it with the three discounts applied.

They need more deals like that.

I think they learned from the free 12 packs last year. (The whole limit thing.)

Dinner out with friends last night. I had some good fajitas of steak, chiken, and shrimp.
It was a leasurely meal with good conversation.
Then we headed out to a movie theater where we save $2.50 per ticket using an entertainment book coupon on each of our four tickets. At the concession stand we used two entertainement book coupons for free small popcorns and a $2.00 off coupon from entertainment for a large pop/popcorn combo pack. We saw the movie Change Up which was better than I expected and funny. Yes, on the surface it seems to be a remake of Disney's Freaky Friday but with a much higher level of adult themes, scenes, jokes, and language. The four of us enjoyed it.

Dinner coupons at $10 off each saved us $20 total.
Ticket coupon saved us $2.50 each for another $10 in savings.
Concession savings of $9.50 total
=== Total Saved last night was $39.50 making a $30 savings book a good deal in less than a day.

Rated R for pervasive strong crude sexual content and language, some graphic nudity and drug use.

Sounds nice Mich.

So, anyone make use of ShoeBuy.com?

I have a $10 cert (not from MCR). I kind of figured it's like the other "gift certificates", it's just a discount.

But, I got one from another place. I tried to use it. I just created an account. I found an online promotional code for 25% off.

So, $50-$12.50 (25%)-$10 (Cert) =$27.50... I thought. But, what the site shows is $50-$5(member)-$10 = $35. It was the oddest thing. The coupon worked, once signed in, the coupon was gone and there was a $4 coupon off. Then, I added the $10 cert, which made the member discount change to $5 off. BUt, the coupon was gone.

I tried to start over and I cleared out my cookies. I re did things and signed back in and the coupon just goes away. And the certificate, I couldn't even add, since it was still tied to the order which wasn't completed. Plus, I see no way of getting back to that order that wasn't completed. Blah! It doesn't seem to be a friendly site!

I was just looking for some input.

I find a lot of sites that don't seem to be very well written/coded.
One annoyance I find is having to register with all my personal information just to find out what the shipping charges will be. Some sites require a heck of a lot of information, you get the the shipping charges, and they charge so much that I won't complete the order because of the shipping charges. I like the sites where you can enter a zip or estimate shipping before shopping cart check-out.

I am finding more and more of these "gift cards" and "gift certificates" that, as you pointed out, are not really that. They are promotional/discount codes.

I was trying to get a good deal on labor day weekend motel and the discount codes I was trying to save with were actually higher room rates than I could get without a discount code.

Crazy


=== off to buy tickets later today to go see Wicked in December
