It’s true. Adding another account on gmail just for my online coupon subscriptions has changed my life.
I used to get all my email in one place, and all the coupons I had signed up to receive were mixed in with my personal emails. This made deal-hunting overwhelming and time-consuming.
Then one day I got the bright idea to create an email account just for my coupons/deals to be sent to. I re-subscribed to the sale updates at all my favorite stores, which meant, as an added bonus, I got all the “sign up discounts” for a second time!
And finally, finally, all my online discounts were in one place!
I only check the account when I am ready to go out shopping, or if I am expecting a special discount code to be sent. If you’re thinking, “But don’t you miss some of the deals if you’re not constantly checking?,” you are exactly right. The truth is, when I saw those sale emails in my personal inbox I would be incredibly tempted to snatch up all the specials at my favorite stores (I could never resist a Banana Republic sale . . . ), even though I may not really need or want anything on sale. Now, as long as I’m practicing good self control, I have control over when I when I see the emails.
Sign up for one today - trust me, you will be glad you did!
