SmartyPig Bonus Up to 12% at Macys. What Should I Save For?

by debt kid on November 17, 2009

macysmartuI have all my cash savings at SmartyPig right now, and they just announced a 12% bonus at Macy’s (and other bonuses at Barnes and Noble, iTunes, etc). And I kinda like Macy’s. Quality stuff, and not too overpriced.

So, what the heck should I save for?

They have a ton of nice furniture stuff, but I don’t need any furniture at the moment. But, by next year, I probably will. So hmmm…

You can see all the SmartyPig bonus % and retailers here.

Here’s another reason to use Macy’s – they have huge sales and allow you to combine coupons; they also give huge coupon deals to credit cards owners (always pay off your credit card, kids!). Once we combined coupons to get a dress shirt for 93 cents! They also have GREAT prices on high quality wardrobe staples – skirts, suits, sweaters (If you work in an area that requires such formality). Though the accessories are overpriced.

This post seems like it was *ahem* influenced by the sponsorship of Smarty Pig on this site.
