Geek Tip: Get the Retail Me Not Firefox Extension
Since we're shifting into holiday shopping overdrive, sales, saving money, and spending seem to top our conversations virtually every day. So I must insist that you add the Retail Me Not extension to your Firefox browser.
It's going to help you do all three: save by alerting you when there is a sale or discount available, and help you spend less than you would if just browsing online stores till all hours of the night looking for a deal.
Geek Tip: RetailMeNot Adds Firefox Extension
If you ever used RetailMeNot to find coupon codes for stores like Victoria's Secret, JCrew and American Eagle, there's now a RetailMeNot Firefox extension that makes online shopping that much more exciting. Discussed on lifehacker, this free extension will automatically check for coupons and provide you with a notification if a coupon is found for the site you are visiting. How great is that?!
Website of the Day: Retail Me Not
You know when you're shopping online and you see a box on the checkout page that tells you to enter a discount code, coupon number or promotional code? You can actually obtain those money saving codes and digits from Retail Me Not, a website that lists online coupon codes for stores like J Crew, Amazon, Victoria Secret, Starbucks and Avis. The website gets all of its discount codes from user-submissions, so there's no guarantee that each code will work 100 percent, but it's definitely worth a try.
