Coupon Codes for Retail Stores in the Mall

I was in New York & Co. and Justice a few days ago.  It was a spur of the moment trip to the mall, so I had no coupons with me.  I needed to buy my daughter a few things, so I did some quick thinking.  I asked the salesperson at both stores if I could pull up a coupon on my phone and give them the code, could I use it on my purchase.  I am happy to report that both stores were happy to comply.  I saved an additional 40% off my total at Justice and I saved an additional $25.00 off my total at New York & Co.  So, if you ever get caught at a store without a coupon and you have internet on your phone, google the name of the store and then coupon.  You just might save yourself some extra cha ching!!!

Beware the Dreaded Computer Virus

I just wanted to remind all of you out there to make sure that you have some sort of antivirus protection on your computer and that it is up to date. Back in January I got a virus on my laptop. At that time I realized that my antivirus was out of date. I went and purchased a new one and tried to install it on my computer, but the virus would not let me. I took it to a local office supply store to have the virus removed and then install my new antivirus software. $170.00 and three days later it was up and running great. Exactly five months later I now have the same virus on the same laptop. After doing a little checking, I realized that the local office supply store never installed my antivirus software. Are you kidding me? By the time I pay for another repair, if I can't get them to fix it for free, I could have almost bought a new laptop. So, my advice to you is to check your computers antiviral protection and make sure it is working and that it is current. This could be a frustrating and costly mistake!
