86. Recessionomics

Am I the only one getting an endless stream of 50% off coupons in the (e-)mail? I'm sure I'm not. But my goodness. If ever you wanted to step up your fashion game but couldn't quite afford the right labels, now's the time to pull triggers.

Banana Republic (where I've invested considerable amounts of disposable income) used to have a 40% Off sale once or twice a year. Now it's every other week. Coach, reknowned(by me) for sending useless $10 coupons that barely cover the tax on most of what they sell, just dropped a $50 gift card in my mailbox. I'm walking out of that store with something that costs $49.

What other stores are doing this? And how do I get on their mailing lists?
