Coupon of the Day: $10 Off at Walgreens.com
Save $10 off $50+ online order, Coupon Code: FAMILY10
Expires 7/30/11
Side Note: This is one of the better coupons that Walgreens has had in a while. Their typical coupons are for things like 20% off Doctor Gene’s bug killer or 5% off your Ban roll-on order. Offers that would only help like .002% of the population. So I am happy to see a big fat juicy store-wide $10 off $50 coupon. Speaking of big, fat, and juicy, my kids just called to ask if I wanted an In-and-Out burger. My answer? Does a bear poop in the woods? Of course I do! For those of you that don’t live in the woods, or the west coast, you may not be familiar. Wow, are they a great burger. And the fries, don’t get me started on the fries. Heaven in a potato. This is me rambling at the keyboard.
~ Check out all of our Walgreens coupons so you can take advantage of free shipping on $25 or more as well.

Coupon of the Day: Up to $50 Off at West Marine.com
Save $10 off $100+, $20 off $200+, or $50 off your $300+ order, Coupon Code: MK20719
Expires 8/01/11
Side Note: In college, I worked at West Marine fulfilling orders in their distribution warehouse. This was back in the days when I was really clueless and didn’t see the benefits of a good job and working hard. So I didn’t last long, sorry West Marine, it was me, not you. It was actually a really good job and I was dumb for not staying longer. But I digress. West Marine.com sells pretty much everything you will need for your boat. And I do mean anything, as their selection is pretty incredible. This also includes outdoor clothing and shoes. And even anchors, I remember schlepping anchors that summer from the warehouse to the loading dock. This specific coupon is one of the better codes they have had in quite some time. Especially if you are ordering over $300, as you will get a quick and easy $50 off your online purchase. Happy shopping.
~ Check out all of our West Marine coupons as we also have a coupon code for free shipping on $99 or more.

Coupon of the Day: 2 Coupons for Accessory Geeks.com
Save $15 Off your $75+ order, Coupon Code: AGEEK1575
Save $10 Off your $50+ order, Coupon Code: AGEEK1050
Expires 7/31/11
Side Note: Accessory Geeks.com sells cases, chargers, and accessories for iPhones, iPods, iPad, and all of the other mobile devices in existence these days. As a clumsy guy who has dropped his iPod at least once every time I put my slippery fingers on it, I must say that a good quality case is a must purchase. If I hadn’t bought a protective case several years ago, I would currently be on iPod #47. So doing the math, iPod’s sell for what, around $300. So my $20 iPod case has saved me exactly $14,100 (minus sales tax of course). I’d say that’s a pretty darn good investment. With that said, I am proud to add Accessory Geeks to our Electronics category here on Rather-Be-Shopping.com
~ Check out all of our Accessory Geeks coupons which also includes free shipping and up to 65% off iPad2 accessories.

Things have been really busy here at Rather-Be-Shopping.com. We have been adding a lot of new stores and working on a ‘Hot Deals’ section that will spotlight individual products that are screaming good deals, especially when combined with one of our online coupons. Keep your eye out for this new feature in the next couple weeks. Today, I wanted to spotlight 5 new stores that have been added recently. The good news is they all gave us online coupons for you to take advantage of. Please drop us a note if you have any stores that you would like to see listed on Rather-Be-Shopping.com. We really do rely on tips from you guys. Thanks!
1 – My M&M’s.com
– Have you ever wanted to personalize your favorite M&M candies? Perhaps with a picture of your face, or perhaps with your company logo. Well, now you can at My M&M’s. Their website makes it very easy for you to make personalized wedding gifts, business gifts, and gifts for any special occasion. Plus, they gave us M&M coupons good for $10 off $75 and 10% off your entire order. They are located in our Food & Cooking coupons section. Have fun!
2 – LeapFrog.com
– The next time you are shopping for a Leapster or games for your children, make sure to check Rather-Be-Shopping.com for coupons first. We are proud to add Leap Frog.com to our Toy Stores coupon category. They specialize in educational games and toys for kids of all ages. Our Leap Frog coupons include free shipping and up to 20% off your online purchase.
3 – Under Armour.com
– Our Under Armour coupons are located in the Sports and Outdoors section on Rather-Be-Shopping.com. They specialize in performance apparel and shoes for the serious athlete all the way to the casual speed walker. Personally, I love their shirts when I am working out. They really wick away the sweat and moisture from your body which keeps your body cool. Under Armour coupons include free shipping and 20% off your outlet purchase.
4 – GoJane.com
– Go Jane sells fashionable apparel for teens and young women. They gave Rather-Be-Shopping.com users a coupon good for 20% off your entire online purchase. So I absolutely had to add them to our Apparel and Clothing coupons section. They also gave us a GoJane coupon code good for free shipping on your $50 or more online purchase. They are worth a look for your back-to-school shopping this year.
5 – Hancock Fabrics.com
– Hancock is very similar to Joann Fabrics, they sell every kind of fabric you can imagine, as well as quilting stuff, and craft kits and ideas. Hancock Fabrics also sells American Girl stuff like stickers and craft ideas that will accent all of your favorite American Girl dolls.

Coupon of the Day: 10% Off at Oneida.com
Save 10% Off your entire order, Coupon Code: TTE10
Expires 7/31/11
Side Note: Just added Oneida.com coupons to my website today. They hold a certain soft spot with me, as my wife and I were given an Oneida silverware set for our wedding over 12 years ago and we still use them to this day. Yes, I will have Oneida in my mouth in a couple hours. Then later for dessert. Then later for a midnight ice cream chow-fest. Then tomorrow morning for breakfast. I think you get the point. Our silverware model is called ‘American Harmony’ and I love them, they help create harmony between my brain and my stomach, which is a great thing. American Harmony fits in my mouth just perfectly. Any bigger and I would be poking part of my fork up my nose, any smaller and it would be to small (I guess). Thanks Oneida for the great memories.
~ Check out all of our Oneida coupons which includes free shipping and a summer sale that has 80% savings on certain items.

2 New Stores with Coupons – Build.com & Home Decorators Collection.com
We have added 2 new stores in the past week that I wanted to introduce you to. They both are now in our House and Home coupons category and both can help save you money on home decor, furniture, lighting and fixtures, and much more. Plus they both have coupons and free shipping deals to help you keep more of your money in your pocket.
1- Build.com
– I have been wanting to add these guys for quite some time. They sell pretty much everything you will need to do home remodels. Especially in the kitchen and bathroom. They sell top brands like Moen, Kohler, Kwikset, and Delta to name a few. As a guy who enjoys tinkering around the house and working on small home improvement projects, I think that Build.com will be a very handy site for not only great prices and coupons, but also expert advice on projects. Currently they are offering coupon codes for online savings on brands like Kohler, Moen, Weslock, and Baldwin.
2- Home Decorators Collection.com
– Owned by The Home Depot, Home Decorators Collection is a very nicely designed website and very easy to search for not only home decor and rugs, but also high quality bathroom armoires, and really cool home office furniture. They have one desk in particular that I really like and would buy today if I needed a new work station. Their pricing seems very competitive and they offer free shipping in several of their shopping categories like Levolor blinds and outdoor rugs. Check out all of our Home Decorators Collection coupons so you can save some money on your next purchase.

5 Traits of Successful People
Ever wonder how some people seem to be successful in every department of their life? Yeah, I know, they can really wear ya out. In great shape, successful career, amazing guitar player, incredible collection of swords, a Furby collection that will make anyone jealous, etc. Well, I think I have nailed it. By it, I mean the 5 fundamental ways that people gain and hold on to success in their lives. Some of the following information may very well change your life forever. How? I’m not sure exactly. I will leave that up to you.
1 – Avoid Sharp Knives – When cutting vegetables, make sure to have someone else hold the veggies while you do the chopping. After all, it will be darn near impossible to type with only 7 fingers, a risk you can’t afford to take.
2 – Never Be Late Again – Place a mousetrap on top of your alarm clock and you will never press ‘Snooze’ again. Imagine a life where you never miss a morning class or meeting. You are truly on your way to a successful life.
3 – WD-40 and Duct tape – Never, never leave home without these 2 crucial items and you will gain success. If you got something squeakin’ that shouldn’t, spray it. If you got something that’s movin’ and shouldn’t, tape it. If you got something that’s movin’ and squeakin’ you outta see your doctor immediately.
4 – Never Cough Again – This one is from a friend. Ever been in an important business meeting and your nagging cough just won’t let up, making it hard to do business with that important client? Next time take several laxatives right before your meeting and you will be absolutely terrified to cough. Problem solved.
5 – Household Maintenance – And perhaps the most important thing to remember in order to lead a long and successful life is that if you can’t fix it with a hammer, you probably got an electrical problem.
Live long and prosper everyone! Feel free to add your tip to my list. I look forward to your comments.
