Get a deal on your next running shoes with Shop It To Me Running
One of the beautiful things about online shopping is that there are some phenomenal deals to be had. However, unless you spend a portion of most days checking out your favorite online stores, sometimes it's hard to catch the best deals. And, if you're anything like me, you know there's no reason to pay full price for workout clothes -- if you can afford to be patient, the items you need will always go on sale.Shop It To Me Running is a fast, easy, and commitment-free way to score great deals on the workout clothes you need. From shoes to sports bras, you can select the brands and sizes you'd like to receive updates on, and when those items go on sale, Shop It To Me Running will email you. You can opt to receive notifications daily, twice weekly, or once a week.
While I'm excited to receive my next update, the thing I'm most thrilled about is how much money I could save on shoes. I was able to enter my exact shoe preference (Mizuno Wave Elixir, Size 8). I know it can be scary to order running shoes without trying them on, but if you have a specific brand and model that you've worn (I'm on my third pair), there's really no risk.
Sneaky supermarket tricks that are keeping you fat
Ever notice how when you go into the Supermarket, you end up with waaaaaaay more than you came for? This happens to me all the time -- I went on Saturday for yogurt and ended up spending $30 (and that was me being thrifty.) There are mysterious forces at the supermarket, forces that want you to spend more money on food that will expand your waistline. Here are some tricks they use, according to this article from eDiets:
- All the necessities -- bread, dairy, meat, produce -- are spread out, which means you usually have to walk across the whole store to get from one to the other. Which means, of course, that you see all those carefully-placed displays.
- The food manufacturers who pay the most get the prime spot in the store -- on the shelves at eye-level.
- The climate is often comfortable so you're less inclined to rush out of there.
