I was rich for 5 minutes.


It's over now.

Cyber Monday sucked me in again. I’ve been sitting here for about an hour, clicking on shopping carts. They sure know how to reel ya in to their world of 'free shipping, one day only, last chance, don't miss out, web busters, deal ends tonight' marketing gimmicks. I know, it doesn't help that I know my credit card number by heart.

But not everything about cyber shopping is bad... The receipts get sent right to your email and cannot end up laying around for your husband to find for easy insta-budget tracking! I just create a “Christmas09″ e-mail folder and hide neatly store everything away. Viola!

Oh, and I am really good at finding online promotional codes. If it exists, I WILL find it. I will never, never, never order online until I've done a Google search to find any available coupon codes.

The only thing is, sometimes, my trigger finger goes wonky and extra items fall into the cart just for me.


Ooops?

  3. You sound like me with the coupon codes! See, being in Canada limits the amount that I can online shop. You know, no shipping to Canada etc. But still... I used to have a HUGE problem so I totally feel your pain ;)

  6. haha! I do the SAME thing...I never complete an online purchase unless I have googled "coupon codes" for that particular store. It's simple, and an easy way to save money! :)
