Save money and GET PAID with promo codes!

The absolute best part of online shopping comes at checkout; the exhilarating moment when you input that promo code you spent hours researching and your new discounted price is displayed!

While capturing a great code is always worthwhile, scouring the net for valuable coupons is certainly not for the faint of heart. Thankfully, our brilliant friends over at BeFrugal have simplified the promo code process to make money-saving both undemanding and profitable! Introducing: "Couponomatic (TM)".

Couponomatic is a browser add-on that provides an automatic drop-down menu of promo code options at checkout as well as varying amounts of cash back for 3,000+ online retailers. The add-on is compatible with Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Firefox and can be downloaded here.

Rather than tweaking google searches yourself for hours on end, BeFrugal does all the work for you by performing daily updates and tests to ensure that all promo codes are current and functional. 

Tip: Be sure to sign up for BeFrugal before installing the add-on (sign-up is 100% free). This way, you'll bank on those cash back rewards and save at the same time. (By shopping online through BeFrugal, you can get up to 30% cash back straight to your account). Once you request payment, BrFrugal will literally send you a check or paypal transfer in the amount you've earned and there is NO fee for this potentially lucrative feature.

So grab Couponomatic and get ready to save...you have nothing to lose and plenty of cash back to gain!

Keep your Facebook deals off the newsfeed!

Every single day, there are thousands of great Facebook contests to enter and plenty of amazing offers to be had. But far too often, fear of a little thing I like to call "newsfeed judgement" (newsfeed judgement=harsh judgement of a person's occasionally embarrassing Facebook activity) overshadows a desire to score free loot.

Keep your money-saving ventures under wraps by following this simple tip: when the app consent page pops up, change your settings to "Only Me".
keep facebook activity off newsfeed
"Thank goodness nobody can see that I just secretly ordered a pair of Crocs."

This way, whatever you do in the app will be for your eyes only. When the next page pops up asking whether or not the app can post on your behalf click "skip".

So enter contests galore and don't be concerned if you see "Allison just won a free package of pantyliners in the Kotex Spin to Win game"! Because even if the app posts for you, you'll be the only one who is able to see it...no damage done. Good luck!

Wear your exact dream dress for less!

We have all, at one point in our lives, been guilty of red-carpet envy. It usually goes like this: girl sees dress, girl loves dress, girl wants dress but it costs $4,600. Now, I know you've got a piggy bank, but how many babysitting $20's can that thing really hold?

JOIN RENT THE RUNWAY HERE!
The solution: Rent the Runway. Rather than blowing your entire savings on a dress that you'll most likely only wear once, spend much less to borrow it! Rent the Runway offers fashionistas the exclusive opportunity to select gorgeous items from over 95 designers. With options for weddings, casual cocktail parties, holidays, dates and glam nights out, all fashion is current and guaranteed to make you feel like a million-dollar baby (only WAY hotter).

Once you've reserved your dream dress and accessories, you can expect a package on your doorstep by 8pm on the chosen date of delivery. If you're unsure of your size in a specific style, RTR always sends a backup size for free...and if you're not totally convinced you'll love it, you can get a second look for just $25! Expert stylists keep shoppers in the know with detailed notes on the fit of each and every style.

After you've dazzled entire crowds of people in your knockout ensemble, all you have to do is return your items for free in the provided pre-addressed envelope. RTR handles the dry-cleaning, and you've successfully stunned without spending a fortune.

So go on and wear that show-stopping dress without it becoming an expensive artifact in your closet. Get $25 off your first rental this week only by entering "25OFFRTR4783" at checkout. And if that's not enough, get $20 credit after your first purchase!
