How a $50 Deal Coupon Can Lead to Over $1,000 in Spending!

The “DEAL” that Spawns Spending….

We’ve all done it, right? You see a really amazing 80% off deal on the cutest baby stuff over at Totsy, or find a killer designer dress for you, for only $50 on Haute Look, or another great bargain on Groupon, and feel like you totally scored the greatest buy.

Then it happens…

Suddenly, that one great buy leads to MORE shopping…. The baby dress you bought was a steal, but you realize that you need shoes to go with it. Oh, and tights. And something for her hair, right?

Or maybe it’s YOUR dress… And you realize you just don’t have the right heels for it, so you’ve got to make a quick run to the mall to find some, so you can wear it to a big event. But while at the mall, you see a great deal on jeans, and pick up a couple pairs. Then a clearance sale. Then a quick snack.

You can see where this is headed, right?
