Codebreaker

Since Jayn so kindly shared her hobby with us a few posts back, I thought it was time to fill you in on mine. I enjoy searching the Internet for coupon codes. I do it every time I make an online purchase, and I also get great joy out of finding coupon codes for other people (I earned my keep -- and possibly a larger share in the will -- while temporarily living with my grandparents by finding discount codes for all of my grandmother's online purchases). If you ask nicely, I will probably find some for you.

Luckily for all of us, there are people who devote an even greater percentage of their time than I to this pursuit, and have created myriad web sites dedicated to the craft. So yesterday, when I found this super-cute bathing suit on Victoria's Secret's site, I was able to pop over to Google, type in "Victoria's Secret coupon codes," and with a little bit of research, end up with 25% off, free shipping and a bonus beach tote. The total came to $21 and change!

If you're interested in copying my awesome score, the codes were "swimtote," "beach25," and "swimsuits." The suit comes in 15 different colors/patterns, so at $21, you should totally buy two (and even pattern-phobic Jayn can find one she likes). Plus you have a choice of different bottom styles, so you can find one that best suits your butt -- crucial, I know.

Some of the codes I used may have expired on 6/15, but even if you can't use them, the suit is still totally worth it at $29. It's just not as fun that way.
