Use Google For Coupon Codes For Stuff I’m Already Buying (Clearlycontacts.ca, Buy.com, Etc.)

I just finished ordering contact lenses for myself and Liz which will do myself for likely the next year and a half, and Liz at least another few months. She’s still trying to figure out which ones she likes the best while I just plain ran out.

Anyhow just as we were about to checkout – I noticed that there was a spot for a coupon code. It took me all of about 30 seconds to do a quick Google search and find a coupon code for clearlycontacts.ca. I simple put in the terms “clearlycontacts coupon code july 2010” and took a look at the results. You know what’s ironic? My post here was the first result! In any case the 2nd result was one which I liked so I clicked on it and it gave me the following option:

Clearly Contacts Coupon Code 1

• Coupon code: SMARTCANUCKS
• Discount: 10% Off + Free Priority Shipping on orders over $49.

Clearly Contacts Coupon Code 2

• Coupon code: SMARTFRAMES
• Discount: 20% Off Any Eyeglasses (Lens Included) – no minimum purchase necessary.

Clearly Contacts Promo Codes expire July 31st, 2010

Sweet! I put in the Coupon Code and saved myself over $20 on my order (which was originally $126 or so). So simply by spending 30 seconds, I saved $20. Very impressive!

If I was looking for another sale item anywhere including Buy.com or FutureShop or anywhere online, I ALWAYS do a coupon search first – by putting in the month and year you’re more likely going to find something that’s valid now as old ones don’t obviously stay valid forever.

I found it interesting in this weeks buy.com flyer they now sell household items – for example they have a 6-pack of “Choose a Size” Scott Paper Towels on for $5.97 which qualifies for free shipping. I’m not sure if they’re in Canada yet or not with this type of thing but I know I’d love to be able to buy household items online if I could and avoid heading to the grocery store for some of this stuff.
