Website of the Day: Grechen's Codes

GeekSugar — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 09:05:56 -0700

Good economy or bad economy, everyone loves getting a discount, and I can safely say that every purchase I have made in the last few months online has not been without a coupon code.

I usually use Retail Me Not, but I discovered a new coupon site that focuses on women's clothing and accessories, and I'm a little unhealthily obsessed with it: Grechen's Codes.

Who's Grechen? I don't know, but she's some sort of guardian angel. The site makes it really easy to find codes for the sites I'm looking at, and I've even (dangerously) signed up for their emails, so that even if I'm not shopping, I'm alerted to good deals going on.

To learn how to post your favorite websites to our Website of the Day group, read more.

I know that this long list looks scary, but trust me, once you get the hang of it, it'll be a snap the second time around.

Similar to Retail Me Not, Offers.com aggregates all of the best promos and deals from around the web - organizing coupons and promo codes by category and store.

I not only like the fact that the site makes sure to verify each offer before posting it, but that they also have a travel section, so you can easily search for vacation deals.

Fab Site: Toutie.com

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 04:00:33 -0700

If you didn't know about this site until now, you'll be sorry it took you so long to hear about it! It's just that good. Toutie.com is like a coupon hoarders haven (and it's good for the budget-conscious, too). The site is devoted to discount codes for an innumerable number of smaller online boutiques, like ShopJake.com or TestimoBoutique.com, that carry the same good brands larger online stores stock. The checkout codes offered typically range from 10-40% off - good enough to lessen some of that buyer's remorse, right?

Discontinued, Discounted MBTs Even Less With FitSugar Coupon

FitSugar — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 02:00:00 -0800

If you have some extra Christmas cash still burning a hole in your pocket and you would like to use it to burn up your backside, then you might just want to look into buying a pair of MBT shoes.

First, MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology. These shoes are made by a Swiss company that put a lot of research into creating a shoe that imitates what the foot does when it is not wearing a shoe. Twist your mind around that one. Anyway, I must say their research paid off (the shoes really do work) and they get paid handsomely for each pair of shoes – they retail at $245. Lucky for us, MBT changes their styles frequently which means old styles become discontinued and their price is reduced. These discontinued styles still provide all the benefits of full priced shoes, like – activating the back of the leg with every step and forcing the body into proper alignment.

You can find all the reduced price, discontinued styles at Walkers Warehouse for $159 to $189. Plus you can receive an extra $20 off by entering the coupon code FITSUGAR. Talk about some serious savings. Remember when shopping that this coupon code works only for the discontinued styles.

Happy walking!

Access Store Coupons on Your iPhone With the Yowza App

GeekSugar — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:05:29 -0800

With the holidays right around the corner, I'm not only starting to think about shopping, but I'm also thinking of creative ways to save. Yesterday, I told you about ten websites that will help you save some money on gifts, and today it's all about Yowza!!, an iPhone and iPod Touch app that will show you all of the store coupons within a mile or as far as 15 miles from where you are shopping (which makes sense why it has two exclamations after its name!).

Once you download this free app, open it and you will see all of the coupons applicable to your location, or you can type in a store name to see what's available. And if an offer includes a bar code, just have the cashier scan the barcode, right from your phone. No coupon clipping, no paper, no hassles - I die!

Beauty Bargains For All!

BellaSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:00:31 -0800

Looking for percentages off, free gifts, awesome coupon codes and other deals on your favorite brands? Then look no further - I just started a group for that. My new Beauty Bargains group in the Bella Community is a clearinghouse for sales, great deals, and more Bella bargains than you can shake a stick at. And best of all, when you see a good deal, you can post to the group, too. There's no reason not to get a discount every time you shop, right? Today alone, I've snagged discounts at Sephora, Bath and Body Works, Urban Decay, Tarte, and Too Faced, and there are more to come. Check it out, and if you've seen a good sale, join the group and post it.
