    Catalog Ordering Tricks

    When I see something I like, I often order it from a catalog rather than chasing around town looking for it. Along the way I've noticed that some of the catalogs I receive in the mail have "deals" with codes on the cover. A clothes catalog might have 20% off, 25% off, buy one, get one 50% off, free shipping, free shipping with X-dollar purchase, etc. A gadget catalog might have half price sales, 20% off everything sales, free shipping with X-dollars, free shipping with any purchase, etc.

    Its difficult, if not impossible, to remember all these deals. So whenever I purchase something online from a major company I always google "company name coupon code." Like today I purchased about $12. worth of Avon on sale. I googled "Avon coupon code" and came up with free shipping with $15. I persisted, and two links later I had free shipping with *any order*. I found free shipping on a Current, inc. order two weeks ago as well. I buy my ink from Staples, and they charge no shipping with a $50. purchase, which I can generally do for ink.

    It only takes a minute or two extra to get free or discounted shipping or percentages off on your purchases.

    I have thought of that also, but when it comes time to order, I never look for the code. UGH!!

    It's like clipping coupons and leaving them on the kitchen table when I go grocery shopping.

      Good idea, Fern. Thanks. Now I'll just have to remember to write myself a note to remember to do it.

        I already do that. On our previous Dell I was able to compound (I think there's another term) them. It was great.

            Very thoughtful of you. I almost bought their (BE) stock when it was first issued but decided they had too much debt. I wonder how it's doing now. DD#1 has a large tool chest full of BE products.

            I wonder what copy cat products are good.......I don't like paying the BE prices.

            Do those of you who live near QVC and are make up queens know there is some kind of large beauty expo at QVC yearly?
