    I am a coupon code champ.

    Try as I might, I can’t stomach the idea of paying $50 for a bra, but that’s the standard price for goods from Victoria’s Secret. In times of recession, however, even the most flat-chested, empty-coffered gal can afford a low-back multi-way bra with Gel-Curve inserts! How? The precious coupon code. Victoria’s Secret — perhaps knowing that it’s shilling overpriced merchandise — allows you to add up to three coupon codes per online order. With some e-sleuthing, one can uncover every valid Victoria’s Secret coupon code currently in existence.

    After a harrowing online shopping addiction during my sophomore year, I’ve mostly avoided making purchases via laptop. I browse, but I exercise restraint. Sometimes, however, a girl has needs. In my case, I needed a new bra and a new bikini set. (There are some things one can salvage from 20 pounds and a cup size ago; bras and bikinis are not among these items). So off to Victoria’s Secret I went! Or off to VictoriasSecret.com my mouse went! (My … trackpad went? You get the idea.)

    My finds included the crazy complicated $55 bra above, which was on sale for $41, and this very affordable two-piece in white. Still, I was less than pleased with the total, $84.49. Ouch.

    But then I entered the following codes …

    VS50SHP: Free shipping on orders of $50 or more (expires tomorrow)
    BRAFAVES: 20% off any of the following bras (expires tomorrow)
    25BSEXY: 25% off Beach Sexy swimwear (expires Sunday)

    Original price of my loot: $73.50 + $10.99 (shipping) = $84.49
    Final price after coupon codes: $57.17 + free shipping = $57.17

    Less than 60 bucks for a bikini top, bottom, and a fancy-schmancy bra? Uh-mazing. (I also got 3% cash back, about $1.71, using Bank of America’s Add It Up!) Please shop responsibly.
