Coupon Crazy

Blame it on that innocuous coupon I found on the net.
I was looking up the infamous Nathan's Hotdog write-up in NY when I saw a BOGOF (buy one, get one free ~ oh how it reminds me of my Cold Storage days!) coupon. Curious, I googled coupons and money off vouchers and lo and behold! Countless sites popped up giving printable coupons, special promotional codes etc. I was hooked!

Apparently some people make a living out of this; even to go as far as going through the garbage bins outside fast food restaurants just to lay their hands on elusive coupons. They then flogged them online and on websites such as eBay.

Just spent the whole morning looking through the sites, trying to find coupons that we can use on our holiday. Like all things on the internet, there is an avalanche of information and you had to sift through it one by one. By the third hour, I became more savvy. Sadly, a lot of the coupons will expire before we are in NY but there is a handful which may be of use.

Like the $10 off $40 purchase at GAP, $5 off $25 purchase at Babies'R'Us and the 11% card for shopping at Macy's

It remains to be seen whether I will used these or not. Knowing my luck and brain capacity, these will probably get left behind in the In-tray at work or fester at the bottom of the luggage. But hey, printing is free at the office!

Now if only i can get some vouchers for the U.K.........
