Codes to Live By

I am a big fan of getting things done early. Work related issues, appointments; anything that has a deadline I like to complete early.

One of the things I love to be prepared for is holiday shopping! Most everyone thinks that I’m crazy, but I like to be finished Christmas shopping by October. I used to love the hustle and bustle of the crowds around the holiday, but lately with time and money being so tight I’ve had to make some adjustments to the usual shopping. Being pressured to get the ‘perfect’ gift in a day's time just isn’t as much fun as it used to be, especially when restricted by a budget!

One of the better ways I’ve found to watch the almighty dollar is to shop online and use coupon codes. I can browse through all different ‘stores’ and find that perfect gift, plus save money in the process. Being online and using free online coupons means I don’t have to spend money on gas to get to the mall, try to find a parking place, and drag a 3 year old through countless stores while trying to maintain our santity!

My mother is a fan of fine jewelry, but I can’t stand the high pressure sales tactics of jewelry stores. I have always wanted to get her a unique necklace for her birthday or Christmas, but haven’t been able to stomach the process. After looking through these coupon codes I found a Blue Nile coupon. Now I can have the luxury of shopping over the computer and it gives me 10% off the purchase price. Can’t beat that!

My husband is impossible to shop for. Every year I get him a watch but it’s getting harder and harder to find interesting watches that aren’t mirror images to the ones he already has. I’ve been searching for over a month now with no luck until I came across a Netaya coupon. I found a great looking silver watch with a square face, and now I can get 10% off the purchase price.

It looks like I’ll be well within my budget this year!
