Who doesn’t like something that is free or discounted? I know I love both of those things! lol Well I am here to remind everyone that it sometimes pays to sign up for email lists and frequent shopper clubs at your favorite stores and restaurants. Last week I started to receive my annual happy birthday emails and snail mail items from various stores and restaurants that I like to visit frequently. In most of these mailings I have received a coupon code for a discount and in a few cases I have received free items. How cool is that?! I need to mosey over to Sephora so I can pick up my Beauty insider gift - this year it’s bubble bath. Since I’m on a budget right now I probably won’t be cashing in on the $10 off at White House|Black Market, Macy’s or the double points at DSW. But fight night is September 6th so I will probably go ahead and claim my free dessert at Buffalo Wild Wings. This is just the tip of the things you might receive if you sign up for lists and give your birth date. Might be worth a closer look next time you are presented with a list to join.
