Site Review: Coupon Chief

I was recently asked to check out the website of Coupon Chief and share my thoughts of the site with my fellow bloggers, friends and family. If you do any type of shopping online, you MUST check this site out!

First of all, there are THOUSANDS of stores that this site offers coupon codes for. What is a coupon code? Well, if you do any type of shopping online, you know that when you go to the companies checkout there is usually a box that says "enter promo code" or "enter coupon code" or something like that. A lot of times you may not have a coupon code and you simply skip over that box. HOWEVER, not any more! From now on, any time you want to purchase something on line, the first thing you need to do is go to Coupon Chief and see if they have a promo code they can provide you to use on your order. Some coupon codes that you might find would provide you with free shipping, or perhaps $25 off a $100 purchase, 25% off, etc. The options are endless and of course change constantly as deal "promos" are found for you! You can search by either the name of a particular store you want to purchase from or, even an item. Say you want to look for "teen fashion". You simply go to Coupon Chief, plug in "teen fashion" as your search item and they will pull up a listing of all stores that offer teen fashions along with matching coupon codes. When you find the store/coupon you would like to purchase from and use, you simply click on the "copy" button for that coupon and paste that particular coupon code into the checkout of the site you are ordering from. Your savings will instantly show up on your online invoice. It is that easy!

Coupon Chief also offers a "Pays-2-Share Program". If you are shopping online and come across a coupon code that Coupon Chief does not already have in their listing of offers, you can actually upload that coupon code to their site and if anyone clicks on that offer and makes a purchase, Coupon Chief will pay you 2% of the total sales purchased when someone uses that coupon! So, not only is Coupon Chief a "savings site", it could also be a "money making site" as well!

One other great feature they have is you can set up a profile on their website that provides information on what types of items or stores that you like to shop from and they will email you alerts when there are deals and promos that you may be interested in.

If you do any type of online shopping, I would highly recommend you check out Coupon Chief! I do not personally do a lot of online shopping, but I just may start having found this new site!

Happy Savings!

Day 11 - Meet Charlie

NOTE: AFTER I POSTED THIS I REALIZED POSTED TO MY WRONG BLOG!!! OOPS. IF YOU ARE HERE FOR COUPON TIPS - PLEASE DISREGARD THIS POST. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO APPEAR ON MY FAMILY/MARTAHON BLOG! I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO EASILY COPY OVER TO OTHER BLOG WITHOUT RETYPING (CUT/PASTE DON'T WORK!) SORRY!!

Heeeeeere's Charlie!

(Insert Picture Here) :o)

Well, normally there would be a picture right above here but hubby drove off again without me getting a chance to snap a picture of Charlie. I'll upload when I can.

Who is Charlie? Well, Charlie is my hubby's new truck. (I always name our vehicles, hubby is not amused and does not approve of the name "Charlie" but I figured I name them, I call them by name, so no one else really needs to like the name, right?) Well anyhoo, we set out Saturday morning to have a nice quiet lunch and do some shopping (nothing fun - - new part for the kitchen sink, possibly rent a carpet cleaner, get the dogs groomed, etc.). We even gave the kids a credit card so they could go get lunch themselves. Well......we show up at the restaurant and who walks in 10 minutes later but the kids! We can't even pay them to leave us alone! LOL. We hurried and ate and then left so we could attempt to lose them again without them following us when the phone rings. The dogs are already done at the groomers, so we headed back to pick them up and drop them off at home. We once again get back in the car to go do our errands when the kids call. They are at a local clothing store and found some "stuff" they needed. So, we stopped in with them, everybody got some clothes (I got running clothes - go figure) and once again we leave the children to finally get our errands done as we have to get home for a family graduation party by 5:30.........

Needless to say, the only thing we accomplished on our list was picking up the sink part. On a whim we decided to drive West Ashley "just to look" to see what trucks were out there available for sale. Well......about 5 hours later we were driving home with a new truck - Charlie! Talk about a last minute whim!! We rushed home, ran a brush through my hair and off to the graduation party - albeit an hour or so late. But...we did get there. Congratulations Skylar on graduation!

Needless to say after a whirlind of a day, no walking, running or training otherwise happened today. You never think about how exhausting buying a new car can be!

Set the alarm tonight though to get up at 6:45 a.m. for my first morning run! Wish me luck!
