Last Minute Shopping Coupon Tricks

"Last Minute" Shopping Coupon Tricks

So, today, little one needed a new pair of jeans. He must have had a growth spurt overnight because all of his jeans suddenly made him look like a wrapped sausage.  I thought we'd be okay...since it's summer...but the weather is actually unseasonably cold. Sometimes you don't have time to wait for awesome sales...so you just have to do what you can do. Given that: is there any way to save some extra money?

There are three ways to save money shopping online for clothes.

1) Email Offers - special triggers in your email to get you to go to the sites...either you sign up as a new customer and get ten percent off. Or you've already signed up and the company keeps emailing you.

2) Code clearinghouses like retail me not (https://www.retailmenot.com/), deal news (http://dealnews.com/) or Ben's bargains (http://bensbargains.com/)

3) Browser extensions that automatically scroll through your "check out" page to see if there are coupon codes like Honey (https://www.joinhoney.com/insider/stores)

So, knowing I wanted to find a sale on jeans, I went to deal news and noticed Gap was having a pretty good sale. 

I searched for jeans, and found a pair for him for only $19 (using code July4). Then I searched my email to see if I could find a discount code (no luck) then I activated my honey browser extension during checkout and learned if I paid with my gap card I got free shipping.

Okay, so not the total steal I would have liked, just proof that even if you are in a pinch you can still save money by just opening your mind to a few discount codes.
