Retail Me Not

Maybe I am, once again, the last to be “in the know”, but I made an online shopping lifechanging discovery today.  A friend of mine told me that whenever she is going to order something online she searches the internet for a coupon first.  She almost always finds one, good for free shipping, 15% off, [...]
