AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- RetailMeNot,
a digital savings destination, knows many shoppers find themselves
asking "WTF did I spend my money on?" at some point in their lives.
RetailMeNot believes price should never get in the way of people
getting the things they love, so they created a program called "WTF
Did I Spend My Money On?" highlighting how everyday expenses often
leave shoppers wondering where all their money went. RetailMeNot
provides multiple savings solutions for shoppers across multiple
categories, as part of the program, they teamed up with comedians,
Sara and Erin Foster of VH1's
"Barely Famous," to create a video that brings some much-needed
humor to the stressful conversation about spending and saving.
Certain habits, beauty routines, food cravings and fashion
must-haves require some spending, but fear not because there are
easy ways to save on life's little, and sometimes big, luxuries.
One is by checking the RetailMeNot free app or website for ways to
save money with each purchase. Whether it's a coupon, discounted
gift card, a promo code or a cash back rebate, RetailMeNot offers
over 500,000 deals and offers for more than 50,000 retailers and
restaurants allowing shoppers to buy what they want with a little
less regret. RetailMeNot will post a "WTF" special report on their
blog, The Real Deal, providing additional tips on how shoppers can
creatively save.
RetailMeNot did research to see exactly how much money shoppers
are spending on their favorite must-haves.
