Overspend, Overspend-Me-Not

A recent Businessweek.com story mentioned a coupon site I had never heard of before that turns out to be unusually good: RetailMeNot.com. Enter the name of an online store where you’re planning to do some shopping and it’ll give you a coupon code, if available.

I figured the site would have coupons for all of the common e-tailers–Amazon and such. But while placing an order for custom water bottles for an upcoming event, I decided on a whim to enter the name of the little-known company I was using. I assumed it would be a complete waste of 15 seconds of my life, but was amazed to find a coupon code available. It didn’t save me much–about $3–but that’s not bad for 15 seconds of work.
