Use it up! (2011)
In addition to my 365 days of declutter challenge, I’ve decided to embark on another challenge.
No more purchasing of any online coupons until the below have all been completely used. Edit: I’ve started purchasing again (in February 2011) but am being extremely selective! I swear!
I found out about websites that offer group-buying discounts in the summer of 2010, and purchased my first in July for a service I would never pay full price for (manicure/pedicure) but thought it was an awesome deal and I wanted to try it and indulge a little. Snowball effect from there. I ended up checking more companies and buying from a variety of them. Even set up myself a spread sheet to see just how “well” I was doing. Until I realized… while yes, I’m saving a lot on services that are normally marked at a much higher price, many of these are services I normally just wouldn’t spend money on.
As I’m generally a fan of full disclosure, I’m going to post all the vouchers I purchase and keep this list updated as much as possible. Used vouchers will be grey’ed out.
Spent so far – $688.00 (not including $195.00 that was refunded)
