For the Love of a Bargain

Bargain shopping on the web has been around as long as the internet itself. Discount shopping sites, auction sites, budget shopping blogs, the digital universe is teeming with lures for the thrifty shopper.

I used to think of a coupon as an ad to clip from the Sunday paper, something to be used at the grocery or drug store. But web shopping has given the word "coupon" a much broader scope associated with a whole new cache of goods and goodies.  Merchandise, events, services... just about anything can be had on the web for a discount.

So I figured it's time to jump on the band wagon. The newest addition to our site is a mere little box at the check out that asks for a coupon code. Now that we have this capability to extend timely offers with attractive discounts, there's no doubt our next newsletter will have a surprise coupon code in the contents. You never know, we may even want to throw in a contest. This stuff can be fun!
