		</div>
<h1><span style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h1>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal;">Today’s retail climate gives us plenty of ways to spend money, but many of us consider <span style="color: #808000;"><strong>saving</strong></span> to be a chore. It’s a shame, because with the smallest amount of effort, <strong><span style="color: #808000;">saving up to 35%</span></strong> can be had when you purchase discounted gift cards on Plastic Jungle.</span></p>
<p>If you’re a hard-core, never-pay-retail shopper, you’ll start with the <strong><span style="color: #808000;">discounted gift card</span></strong> from Plastic Jungle, then you’ll double- or even triple-dip into easily found coupons and promo codes.</p>
<p>The key to turning that small-ish percentage off into <span style="color: #808000;"><strong>significant outlet-clearance variety prices</strong></span> is combining the gift card (means of payment) with existing sales and promotions (entered at checkout).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.plasticjungle.com/pjimages/products/109_72/mer_homedepot_giftcard_109x72.gif" alt="Home Depot" width="109" height="72" /></p>
<p>We’ve got a story about a Jungler who <strong><span style="color: #808000;">saved more than <strong>$</strong>500</span></strong> on a personal big home improvement project – window coverings (not cheap!) &#8212; already posted on the <a title="Marcy's Savings Story on PJ Blog" href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/blog/2011/03/25/plastic-jungle-expands-discounts-on-big-purchases-read-one-customers-story/" target="_blank">Plastic Jungle blog</a>. The post details how Marcy, a Jungle fan, purchased <a title="Buy Discounted Home Depot Gift Cards" href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/gift-card/Home-Depot?utm_source=socialmedia&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=%20DoubleDipMay11" target="_blank">discounted Home Depot gift cards</a>, added that to a rebate and in-store sale, and came up with huge savings.</p>
<h3>Do It Now – Two Examples of Double-Dip Savings</h3>
<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><img src="http://www.plasticjungle.com/pjimages/products/162_105/mer_omahasteaks_giftcard_162x105.gif" alt="Omaha Steaks" />Save on Omaha</strong><strong> Steaks</strong></span></h4>
<p>1)      <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/gift-card/Home-Depot?utm_source=socialmedia&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=%20DoubleDipMay11">Purchase a discounted Omaha Steaks eCODE (electronic gift card)  on Plastic Jungle &gt;&gt;&gt;</a></p>
<p>2)      Go to <a href="http://www.couponmountain.com/">www.Savings.com</a> or <a href="http://www.retailmenot.com/">www.RetailMeNot.com</a> (or Google “Omaha Steaks Deals” to find other coupon sites). Click through the coupon link of your choice. This sets up the promo code which will be applied at checkout. Right now, looks like the best deal is to choose an Overstock Bargain, which could give you up to 60% off (on STEAK!).</p>
<p>3)      At checkout, use your already discounted Omaha Steaks eCODE (at time of writing worth up to a 17% discount).</p>
<p>4)      Start counting the <strong><span style="color: #808000;">money you’ve saved</span></strong> by DOUBLE-DIPPING: <strong><span style="color: #808000;">Steak at up to 77% off</span></strong>.</p>
<h4><strong><img src="http://www.plasticjungle.com/pjimages/products/162_105/mer_jcpenney_giftcard_162x105.gif" alt="JC Penney" />Save at <span style="text-decoration: underline;">JC Penney or JCP.com</span></strong></h4>
<p>1)      <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/gift-card/Home-Depot?utm_source=socialmedia&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=%20DoubleDipMay11">Purchase a discounted JC Penney Gift Card or JC Penney eCODE on Plastic Jungle &gt;&gt;&gt;</a></p>
<p>2)      Go to <a href="http://www.savings.com/">www.Savings.com</a> where you’ll find all kinds of coupon codes. Find one that suits your needs. Let’s say today it’s “10% off, sitewide” (code=SAVE10), or for in-store value, go to <a href="http://printable-coupons.blogspot.com/2005/11/jc-penney-coupons.html">http://printable-coupons.blogspot.com/2005/11/jc-penney-coupons.html</a> (I just Googled “printable JCPenney coupons”), where you’ll find a printable coupon for $10 discount on $50, $15 discount on $75 and $20 discount on purchases of $100 or more.</p>
<p>3)      Check out the <a title="JCP.com Red Hot Clearance" href="http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/x2.aspx?DeptID=73298&amp;CatID=73298&amp;cmAMS_T=G1&amp;cmAMS_C=D11B&amp;cmAMS_V=" target="_blank">JCP.com outlet</a> and clearance racks for already discounted merchandise. (ie: Landing page patio sale has items up to 60% off.) This could be your triple-dip!</p>
<p>4)      At checkout, use your coupon or promo code (online) and pay with your discounted JC Penney Gift Card or, online, your discounted JC Penney eCODE (at time of writing worth up to 14% off). Also look for free shipping coupons or links.</p>
<p>5)      Your <strong><span style="color: #808000;">savings could be up to 33-80% of regular retail prices</span></strong>, depending on the deal you choose.</p>
<p>Plastic Jungle gives you bottom-line savings, and with minimum effort, you can compound those savings by double-dipping with a quick “&#8211;deals” or “&#8211;coupons” search in your favorite search engine.</p>
<h4><span style="color: #808000;"><strong>Happy (Discount) Shopping from all of us deal mavens at Plastic Jungle!</strong></span></h4>

<p>Have you ever thought of Amazon.com for Appliances or Equipment? If not, the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_ex_n_1?rh=n:228013&amp;bbn=228013&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1304573364">Amazon.com Home Improvement and Tools page</a>, flush with thousands of searchable listings, will be an eye-opener. Dishwashers to pressure washers, kitchen fixtures to light fixtures, hardware, storage, even lawn mowers are called up at a great price in a flash. You could actually turn a gift card you&#8217;re not using &#8212; could even be a chain restaurant gift card &#8212; into an <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/sell-gift-cards?utm_source=socialmedia&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign= HomeImprove5_04_11" target="_blank">Amazon.com Gift Card</a> by exchanging it on Plastic Jungle.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.lowes.com/images/howtos/howto_header.jpg" alt="How-To Projects" /></p>
<p>Think about “<strong>double-dipping</strong>” – that is, <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/buy-gift-cards?utm_source=socialmedia&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign= HomeImprove5_04_11">buying a gift card at a discount at Plastic Jungle</a>, then purchasing at a sale price or using a rebate. (And maybe even add free shipping for a deal-lover’s trifecta!) You get the deal with the sale price, AND you’ve got an additional deal in your hand with the discounted gift card. For the deal-lover’s trifecta, add a free shipping coupon or promo code to keep costs down.</p>

<p><strong>Do-It-Yourself, Whatever It Is!</strong></p>
<p>Homeowners regularly attempt their own landscaping, painting, and decorating. But installing a toilet? Making your home more secure? Patching drywall? These and hundreds of other projects are detailed, some with video, on <a href="http://www.lowes.com/cd_How+To+Library_615580068_">Lowe’s Video &amp; Project Center</a>, and at the <a href="http://www.homeimproverclub.com/default.aspx?">Home Depot Home Improvement Clubs</a>.</p>
<p>Another source for how-to do it is TV, of course. You can search the archives of <a href="http://www.hgtv.com/">HGTV</a>, or the <a href="http://www.diynetwork.com/">DIY network</a> for ideas, tips, and video to get the job done.</p>
<p>What’s on your home improvement slate? A new entertainment center? Painting the house, inside and out? Creating an outdoor living space to enjoy your new landscape? Let us know in your comments!</p>

<p style="text-align: center">
<p>It is fair to say that most households have wish lists. From house to house, these lists can be as diverse as the inhabitants. You could be pining for fresh electronics (new TV or gaming system), or home improvements or furniture, or maybe a special accessory, such as a pricey designer purse or a pair of shoes. Often, wish lists develop when you move into a new space, as our <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/?utm_source=social%2Bmedia&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=MarcyB" target="_blank">Plastic Jungle</a> fan, Marcy B., relates.</p>
<p>In her letter, Marcy B. outlines how she went about saving big on renovating her window treatments in her new home. She explains that it wasn’t a matter of combing the Internet, or paging through Val-Pak coupons, but a matter of patience and a small amount of planning.</p>
<p>Thanks to marketing and promotions, all shoppers get the idea that we could save big, but jumping the hurdle to map out the steps can be a stumbling block.</p>
<p>Her letter explains her simple process, step-by-step:</p>
<address>Dear Plastic Jungle:<br />
Thank you for helping me save more than $500 on a purchase I recently made at Home Depot!<br />
My husband and I had planned to invest in blinds for our house this year, and were pleasantly surprised to have spent less than we budgeted on higher quality blinds than we planned on buying.<br />
How we saved BIG…<br />
(1)  Last year my husband and I started talking about the design and feel we desired for the blinds.<br />
(2)  At Home Depot we discovered a modern style of blinds that we loved.  When we looked at the price, we noticed there was a special 20% off manufacturer sale.  At this point, the cost was not in our price range, until…<br />
(3)  I called the store and spoke with a manager about stacking a coupon with the sale.  The manager said I could.  I wrote down his name and immediately…<br />
(4)  I went on eBay and bought a 10% Lowe’s/Home Depot coupon for $1.50 (shipping + handling included).<br />
(5)  That same night, I went on <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/buy-gift-cards?utm_source=socialmedia&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=MarcyB" target="_blank">PlasticJungle.com </a>and purchased enough Home Depot gift cards (for 7% less than face value) to cover the purchase.<br />
(6)  One week later, I received the coupon and gift cards and physically went to Home Depot to purchase our blinds.  We saved 20% through the manufacturer’s sale, 10% with our coupon, and 7% with our Plastic Jungle gift cards.<br />
In total, we saved $595.11 (33%) on our BIG purchase!<br />
I cannot thank you enough for helping us save BIG!<br />
With sincere thanks,<br />
Marcy</address>
<p>You are welcome, Marcy! : )</p>

			</a>
		</div>
<p style="text-align: center">
<p style="text-align: center">You might have heard of <a href="http://www.covet.com/" target="_blank">Covet.com</a> or <a href="www.giltgroupe.com" target="_blank">Gilt Groupe</a>, promising exclusive savings and deals on the hottest apparel, accessories, and even décor and travel. If you’re to believe their hype, you’d think you could pick up a magazine, pick out a few outfits and a weekend getaway, and go online to find it all at 20-80% off. Is this possible?</p>
<p>Well, yes, it could be. Are you ready to shop at a moment’s notice? Do you have disposable income ready to snap up that hot bargain pair of jeans or that all-inclusive resort? <strong><span style="color: #99cc00">Are you obsessive about never paying retail?</span></strong> OK then, let’s talk!</p>
<p>These sites offer good deals, and with a little check-in at Plastic Jungle, you can save even more. Here are some tips:</p>
<h3><span style="color: #99cc00">Get Thee to Covet.com</span></h3>
<p>Covet’s hook is that you take a preference test, they call it the “Stylyzer”, based on the looks you like. They use familiar celebrities with trademarked looks: think Reese Witherspoon’s “Classic Preppy” JCrew looks, or Kate Hudson’s Hippie “Boho” Free People outfits, or Pink’s Urban melodrama via Diesel or Moschino.</p>
<p>After you finish your Stylyzer quiz, you get sale alerts for apparel and accessories that fit your profile. “Shop without Sin” is their tagline. In their sale alerts, you can buy sale or clearance merchandise from all over the web – Nordstrom to Ann Taylor to Zappos and plenty of other merchants whose DISCOUNTED GIFT CARDS you can purchase here on Plastic Jungle.</p>
<p><img src="http://tctechcrunch.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/covert-3.jpg" alt="" width="406" height="247" /></p>
<p>So: You get an alert for a sale, you jump onto PlasticJungle.com, purchase a discounted eCODE for the merchant with the sale, and wham-O! By the end of the day you’re saving an extra percentage off an item you’re very psyched about that is already on sale. Coordinating merchants include<strong> <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/gift-card/Nordstrom?utm_source=socialmedia&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=GetLuckyInMarch" target="_blank">Nordstrom</a>, <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/gift-card/Zappos?utm_source=socialmedia&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=GetLuckyInMarch" target="_blank">Zappos</a>, <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/gift-card/Macys?utm_source=socialmedia&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=GetLuckyInMarch" target="_blank">Macy&#8217;s</a>, <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/gift-card/Saks-Fifth-Avenue?utm_source=socialmedia&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=GetLuckyInMarch" target="_blank">Saks Fifth Avenue</a>, <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/gift-card/Banana-Republic?utm_source=socialmedia&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=GetLuckyInMarch" target="_blank">Banana Republic</a>,</strong> and many more.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #99cc00">Try also: Shop It To Me</span></h3>
<p>As “Your Personal Online Shopper”, the <a href="www.shopittome.com" target="_blank">Shop It To Me</a> web bot crawls through department store and boutique sites looking for sales on the brands and designers you love. At your request for frequency, they’ll send you a “SaleMail”, an email loaded with items from your faves the minute they go on sale.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/shop-it-to-me.png?w=600&amp;h=314" alt="" width="360" height="188" /></p>
<p>Other sale sites, such as <a href="www.ruelala.com" target="_blank">Rue La La</a>, <a href="www.giltgroupe.com" target="_blank">Gilt Groupe</a> and <a href="www.hautelook.com" target="_blank">HauteLook</a> (more designer clothing and haute travel), or <a href="www.zulily.com" target="_blank">Zulily</a> (moms and kids gear), or <a href="www.onekingslane.com" target="_blank">One King’s Lane</a> (amazing home décor), have awesome sales “boutiques” that sell items direct from the designers. You need to sign up, and there are no personal profiles to select specific brands, but the savings are substantial and come right to your email inbox. (Super Shopper Hint: these sites are amazing for introducing you to new brands.)</p>
<p><img src="http://www.jaunted.com/files/6193/GiltGroupe.jpg" alt="" width="231" height="167" /></p>
<p>Remember, if you have a favorite brand, such as <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/gift-card/Armani-Exchange?utm_source=socialmedia&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=GetLuckyInMarch" target="_blank">Armani Exchange</a>, <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/gift-card/Coach?utm_source=socialmedia&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=GetLuckyInMarch" target="_blank">Coach</a>, <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/gift-card/Victorias-Secret?utm_source=socialmedia&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=GetLuckyInMarch" target="_blank">Victoria’s Secret</a>, <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/gift-card/Ann-Taylor?utm_source=socialmedia&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=GetLuckyInMarch" target="_blank">Ann Taylor</a>, even <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/gift-card/Burberry?utm_source=socialmedia&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=GetLuckyInMarch" target="_blank">Burberry</a> (or <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/buy-gift-cards?utm_source=socialmedia&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=GetLuckyInMarch" target="_blank">a hundred more merchants</a>), you can always check Plastic Jungle for discount gift cards. If none are in stock, set an alert so that when one does come into stock, Plastic Jungle will automatically email you so that you can snap it up to get up to 35% off.</p>

<p>Have you considered what’s showing for Spring/Summer ‘11? We&#8217;ve got a shopping guide ready for you. Spring 2011 lines popped a few trends to the forefront:</p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #808000">White?:</span></strong> Or is it Chalk? Pastel? Whatever you call it, it’s pale, chic, and just barely on the white spectrum.

<p>Don’t Forget Fall! It’s doubtful the media will let you forget this is <strong>Fashion Week for Fall 2011</strong>. Here’s a little peek on Tom Ford and the new minimal shows trending right now from the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/10/fashion/10TOM.html?src=un&amp;feedurl=http://json8.nytimes.com/pages/fashion/index.jsonp" target="_blank">New York Times Fashion</a> pages. And don’t forget to take a peek at notes from the deep-in-the-trenches trend followers at WWD (formerly Women’s Wear Daily) – go straight to <a href="http://www.wwd.com/Eyescoop.com" target="_blank">WWD.com/Eyescoop</a> to find out what the retail buyers are seeing (and looking to put on the racks).</p>
<p>Need cash for your new picks? Don&#8217;t forget that if you have an unused or partially used gift card you&#8217;d like to swap, Plastic Jungle is the web&#8217;s largest secure gift card exchange site. There are tons of <a title="Sell Gift Cards on Plastic Jungle" href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/sell-gift-cards?utm_source=socialmedia&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=spring2011fashion" target="_blank">Gift Card Exchange Options on Plastic Jungle</a> for those looking to cash in on unused gift cards.</p>
<p>I have a feeling the best-selling (and favorite) retail fashion pieces for Spring and Summer 2011 will fall in the chambray Palazzo Pants category, along with lacey white blouses and printed structured dresses. What’s your next piece to buy? And what are your favorite collections? Let us know with your comments, below.</p>

<p>When none of that works out and you need an Oscar party date, think about Mattel&#8217;s Sweet Talking Ken.

<p>The <strong>Winter Sale</strong> is on at “Nordie’s” (as they say) right now, offering deep discounts on the store&#8217;s general merchandise. There’s also a sale in <strong>Nordstrom’s Designer Collections</strong>, and <strong>Sweaters</strong> have taken a mark down. From Brass Plum to Tory Burch, it’s all for the taking. Lawd, it’s a good day to be shopping.</p>
<p>Through its excellence in customer service and talent at stocking its department stores with fashions finely suited to local tastes, Oprah’s go-to department store <strong><a href="http://www.Nordstrom.com" target="_blank">Nordstrom</a></strong> has made a name for itself among high-quality retailers. Shoes were once the highlight at the store; now designer collections and unique offerings bring customers back again and again at about 200 stores nationwide. <strong><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/rack?origin=saledlp" target="_blank">Nordstrom Rack</a></strong> is the retailer’s discount outlet, offering clearance savings on the same chic brands and labels.</p>
