RetailMeNot: My New Can’t Live without App

by Shalice Noel

 

We recently purchased an oval marble table for our dining room and I was on the hunt for the perfect chairs to match. I felt some pressure because I had purchased some chairs in the past we had regretted, they fell apart easily and were uncomfortable to sit on. However, I was determined to make this a better situation. I did some research, even asked readers and followers on Instagram stories what are their favorite furniture brands. I finally put together a couple looks I loved on Pinterest and boom, my vision for our dining room was taking shape. I ended up choosing two velvet chairs from Anthropologie and 6 from Houzz.com. The latter was a sizable purchase so I did what I always do, check and see if I can find a promo code. Those who know me well, know I love coupons (though I’ll admit I have zero time for them now) and my mom used to pay me for the coupons we used on our grocery trip. That early training sparked my habit for always looking for the best deal. My mission was to find antique gold cafe chairs and find them before Thanksgiving. That’s not too much to ask for, right? So when I was ready to check out and purchase the chairs on Houzz.com, I noticed the promo code was empty.ย I looked for a promo code for Houzz.com onย RetailMeNot. A site I had used a couple times before. I’m happy to announce that I found a promo code that saved me $100 off on the chairs and called Reid at work who was proud of me for doing the research and most of all, finally picking out chairs. Now, before every purchase, I checkย RetailMeNot, just in case, so as to not miss a promo code that could potentially mean huge savings.ย Also, I recently downloaded the app, chose my preferences, mine were kids, fashion and of course, shoes. I didn’t turn on post notification ( since that makes me a little crazy) and signed in seamlessly with my Facebook account. What’s your next big or small purchase? Whether its a gift for your mom, your son your co-worker, a new vacuum or like me, 8 new chairs, take my advice and checkย RetailMeNotย first. You will thank me later. and by the way, the app is free ๐Ÿ™‚

Agree! Like! Yes! My husband is a genius with coupons and it stems from growing up home schooled and with a dad that decided to go to medical school in his 30’s. The family was scraping by and sample day at the grocery store was “a special outing!” I love your cozy chairs and appreciate your eye – you inspire me every day. So on this day, your birthday, I wish you the best celebration and joy imaginable! Cheers to you, beautiful friend!
