   I would use the $150 in Europe during my upcoming vacation! :)

   I use retailmenot all of the time when shopping online and off. They always have awesome coupons that I’ve used at places like Macy’s, Hancock Fabrics, and Nordstrom. I can’t think of a coupon I need right now, but they are definitely the first place I look when I do need one.

   Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
2. Tiffany R February 5, 2014 at 7:08 AM

   I would buy groceries!

   I just used retailmenot yesterday to get a coupon code for 6pm. They saved me $6 on a jacket for my daughter. Yeah!
3. Aimee February 5, 2014 at 7:17 AM

   oooh I would use the $150 at Blue Nile for myself. I have 3 piercings in each ear and sadly only 2 pairs of diamonds. 1 pair is nice and tiny (which I love), 1 pair is low quality and small, both came from my mom (what a love she is!). Depending on the price I would either use the code you posted above, or there is also a 30% off + free shipping code. There’s also always Kohls shopping codes on there and they have jewelry.

   I hate Valentine’s Day. I don’t need a forced day to show my wife that I love her. If I’m not doing that constantly, I am failing at my husbandly job :)

   That aside, I love surprising my wife (I do it often) and she would never suspect something on Valentine’s Day because the only thing I do each year for Valentine’s Day is make dinner :)

   I really like the Anti-Valentine’s Day Piñata. I would totally get that and probably the 2 Movie Tickets and $100 Restaurant.com egift card for $30.
   1. J. Money February 5, 2014 at 8:36 AM

      You’re a good man ;)
5. Matt Becker February 5, 2014 at 7:30 AM

   Haha, you’re sites are ridiculous dude! I would use some of the money on a present (Victoria’s Secret is a present for both of us!) and part of it to take her out. Maybe something like ice skating + dinner.
6. Julia February 5, 2014 at 7:34 AM

   I would use it to buy a marine GPS. I am trying to create a really detailed and accurate map of the dive sites I frequent. I will then give the map to all my fellow divers. Yeah!!

   Since I am a GIS Analyst, I am hoping this side-project will improve some skills that I can use to better my job position. (namely, I want to get into 3-d mapping.)

   I would look at all the electronic coupons such as Best Buy and Ebay to see where I can get the best deal.
7. Lance @ Money Manifesto February 5, 2014 at 7:35 AM

   I’m lame and would buy something I already need, like some clothes at JCP using their 25% off coupon. Then I’d take the money I’d normally spend on the clothes and use it to pay off my wife’s student loans :) They’re almost gone!!!
8. Jan February 5, 2014 at 7:37 AM

   1. I would use the gift card to take my husband out to eat at our favorite restraunt!
   2. I have the retail me not app on my iPhone and love it. I always use the Michaels 40% off coupons!
   Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
9. Patrick February 5, 2014 at 7:41 AM

   I would take my wife out to a nice dinner with wine, drinks and without the kids. We have increased savings and nights like that will be fewer as we try to reach our new early retirement goals. With the remainder I would get a gift card from retailmenot as I never pick clothes that she likes.

   Thanks to you and all the other early retirement bloggers out there for the new found inspiration.
   1. J. Money February 5, 2014 at 8:37 AM

      Thanks for reading our sites! (And no problem about your duplicate comments – got them cleared away now for ya ;))
10. JM February 5, 2014 at 7:45 AM

    1) I’m not a fan of V-Day but I do have a first date with someone this weekend that I have wanted to take out for awhile. Casual fun first date, but $150 could certainly help me take date #2 up a notch

    2) Coupon – she and I have talked about doing a DC race so perhaps the Nike.com card for some running gear and FTD to have some flowers for her when she crosses the finish line.
11. Tiffany (NatureMom) February 5, 2014 at 7:50 AM

    I would use the $150 for a principle payment on my car. Trying to get that thing paid off!

    I use retailmenot quite often though, especially for coupon codes for pizza delivery.
12. Liz February 5, 2014 at 8:01 AM

    I would use it to buy new boots (is winter over yet?!). I love Amazon, so getting a great price on Amazon Prime PLUS a coupon from RetailMeNot sounds pretty great!
13. Kali @ CommonSenseMillennial February 5, 2014 at 8:07 AM

    I would use $150 to grab a pair of tickets to a show at the Fox in Atlanta! There are a few fun things playing in the next few months, as well as some comedians we’d like to see – and since we really don’t spend money to celebrate Valentine’s Day, it’d be a nice treat :)

    Although I have to be honest, I’d probably snag on of the 30% your entire purchase coupons for H&M and spend a little bit of that $150 there..
14. Shauna February 5, 2014 at 8:09 AM

    I want to lie and say that I will spend it on my husband but his gift is already purchased so I will probably buy some new boots. I think I have a boot problem.

    I loooove retailmenot. Their app has saved me so much money. I literally never buy anything online or in a store without checking the app first!
15. Emily February 5, 2014 at 8:11 AM

    1.) I would use the $150 gift card to go horseback riding with my boyfriend (he’s been wanting to go on a trail ride for a while but we haven’t been able to justify the cost in light of our long term savings goals).
    2.) Every time I buy something online I first search retailmenot for coupons that will help me save money. I’ve saved on clothing, shipping charges, pictures, etc.
16. Michelle February 5, 2014 at 8:14 AM

    Haha I love your website idea.

    I would probably use one of their VS coupons and buy something for myself on there like a swimsuit!
17. John February 5, 2014 at 8:17 AM

    1. I’d travel with it.
    2. If use a marriott coupon.
18. Kateebee February 5, 2014 at 8:22 AM

    I would definitely use the $150 to snag the $30 Restaurant.com/Movie ticket deal!! (Probably will either way…) The rest will go into our 2015 vacation fund where we are collecting every bonus penny that comes our way. Planning to spend 3 weeks in Asia visiting family and celebrating the end of law school & the bar exam!
19. Rachel February 5, 2014 at 8:25 AM

    1. I would use the $150 for my husband to buy some much-needed new work pants. He thinks that wallet-induced hole worn thin in his back pocket is hot. It’s not.

    2. I would try my best not to peruse H&M’s kids and home sections, but that 30% off coupon it too tempting!
20. Jackie y February 5, 2014 at 8:32 AM

    I need a new laptop so I would definitely use a best buy code!!
21. Amanda February 5, 2014 at 8:32 AM

    I’d probably use it on some upcoming events my hubs and I wanted to go to, bull riding and monster trucks. with tix at 65 bucks a pop, expenses add up. How are we supposed to buy $14 beers AND a souvenir cowboy hat at these prices?

    So, at retail me not, I’m sure we could find some sweet duds to purchase before the dirt fest that will be the rodeo and monster truck show, and look as sassy as can be. All the rednecks will be a wonderin’ how we could be so fly. Our daddy’s must be in the oil industry. but we’ll know the truth, it was our budet savvy amigos at Budgets are Sexy and Retailmenot. boom.

    thanks!
    1. J. Money February 5, 2014 at 8:38 AM

       BOOM!
22. Blaine Parsons February 5, 2014 at 8:34 AM

    My fiance and I love great food and independent movies so I would take her to an incredible dinner followed by seeing a movie we both have been wanting to see at a cool theatre. RetailMeNot.com has an amazing coupon for 2 movie tickets + $100 Restaurant.com gift card. I would use that to celebrate us moving to a new city and both starting new jobs right after college less than a month ago!
23. tracy February 5, 2014 at 8:39 AM

    I would use the $ for “date night” and totally snap up the dinner and a movie coupon from RMN. In fact, I might have to do that anyway…my husband deserves a night all about him.
24. Chelsea February 5, 2014 at 8:44 AM

    1) Since I happen to be proud mama of a Valentine’s Day kiddo who just happens to be moving to a size 4T but only has size 3T clothes – I would probably use most of it on spring/summer clothes and the rest on a low-key dinner with hubby.

    2) I would use Target since that’s where we buy lots of kiddo clothes.
25. Brandy February 5, 2014 at 8:45 AM

    I would use this gift card for our anniversary trip in May (we always stop by the outlet mall on the way).

    The coupon I would use on retailmenot.com would have to be New York and Company. I love that store!
26. Mark February 5, 2014 at 8:45 AM

    I would use the money for a nice night out for me and the lady. I think I’d do the dinner and movie coupon from RMN as well. I haven’t seen a movie in theaters in awhile.
27. Jay February 5, 2014 at 8:49 AM

    I’d probably use their Kohl’s coupon to buy some new kitchen gadgets that I’ve been missing since I bought my house.
28. Becca February 5, 2014 at 9:06 AM

    I would treat my boyfriend to dinner and a movie…. just not in Valentine’s Day! We’d rather avoid the craziness surrounding the actual day.

    I use RMN all the time. Its the first place I go when shopping online. For this special day i would use it for either Victoria’s Secret or Macys. Might as well buy something nice for both of us!
29. Chantel February 5, 2014 at 9:07 AM

    I would spend the $150 on our new house :-) We just bought a house in December, and it needs some work!

    As a mini treat, I’d probably use the B1G1F coupon from Baskin Robbins ;-)
30. Stacy February 5, 2014 at 9:07 AM

    I would buy some cough sexy time clothes cough. It is Valentine’s Day after all!

    I used retailmenot.com ALL the time for coupon codes…especially for these types of clothes!!!! :)
31. Laurie Pysczynski February 5, 2014 at 9:10 AM

    I would probably go with the 2 movies tix and $100 restaurant.com certificate for $30! I always check Retailmenot.com before I buy anything…most of the time I can save atleast 10-15% and sometimes alot more. I don’t really understand folks who don’t use it…free money!
32. Nikki February 5, 2014 at 9:10 AM

    I would use the gift card for a new pair of running shoes, mine are on their last leg.

    I’d use any of the amazon.com coupons, unless they didn’t work for the shoes then I’d find somewhere that did have a great coupon for my shoes.

    The leftover (as my running shoes won’t be 150) will probably go to my dogs…yeah they’re spoiled
33. Donna February 5, 2014 at 9:11 AM

    I would use the Bed Bath and Beyond code so I can cook my husband a yummy meal for Valentine’s Day. I need a new fry pan.
34. Stefanie @ The Broke and Beautiful Life February 5, 2014 at 9:12 AM

    My valentine is overseas till June, so my wish would be to put $150 towards a ticket to see him. I check retailmenot pretty much any time I want to buy something specific online (ps.love their ticker symbol!), but I just checked out the link in more depth and didn’t see any deals toward travel. That might be an interesting place for them to grow.
35. Andria February 5, 2014 at 9:17 AM

    I would use this gift card to shop at Macy’s. I LOVE RetailMeNot because I can generally find a coupon for anywhere that I need to shop at. I am in need of a new purse as mine is falling apart and looks horrible!!! Of course there are Macy Coupons I can use to get a purse. :) I would use $10.00 off of $75.00 or a 10% coupon.
36. Stefanie February 5, 2014 at 9:21 AM

    I would use the $150 with the FTD coupon. Who doesn’t like to receive flowers?
37. Kyle February 5, 2014 at 9:23 AM

    I would purchase some ammo at ammo.net. Go to gun range and take out some stress. Stop and get a big ol’greasy burger and fries after range. Stop and get a 12 pack. Come home, sit in front of fireplace, drink some beers, and I will let your mind fill in what happens next.
38. Ryan February 5, 2014 at 9:24 AM

    I would use the $150 to take my wife out on a nice date, which would include paying a babysitter.

    My wife has been lighting the candles in our house nightly, so I would use the buy 2 get one free Yankee Candle Coupon.
39. Kristen February 5, 2014 at 9:26 AM

    Oooh, I LOVE Retailmenot!

    1 – I would use the $$ to take hubby out to a nice dinner sans toddler & use the leftovers to buy trees for my orchard to replace the ones hubby “accedentally” plowed over this winter & if there was extra, I’d buy some raspberry & strawberry plants.

    2 – I would use the Retailmenot coupon code for Gurney’s (0536514) to get half off my gardening order.
40. Machelle February 5, 2014 at 9:34 AM

    I would use the gift card to stock up on groceries through Amazon. Boring, I know.

    I use RetailMeNot all the time but can’t think of a particular coupon I would use right now but am sure I could find one!
41. Michelle Marcus February 5, 2014 at 9:37 AM

    1. I would use the $150 to buy my honey Katy Perry tickets because she really wants to go to that.

    2. I would then use the RetailMeNot.com coupon code for 2 Movies + 100 Resturant.com egift card. My honey likes simple things like quiet nights out at the movies.
42. Diane February 5, 2014 at 9:37 AM

    I would use the coupon at RetailMeNot for 70% of 12 months hosting @ 1.99 a month and the rest I would spend at a wonderful dinner out with my hubby at a rooftop bar/restaurant in DC on my birthday! :)
43. Chuck February 5, 2014 at 9:45 AM

    1. Food
    2. Pet Smart

    My wife and I would enjoy a really nice dinner…probably sushi, we love that. And Pet Smart would be used to pickup crickets for my wife’s tarantula! I know, weird…
44. Carlton February 5, 2014 at 9:47 AM

    Well, with no significant other it will have to go to spoiling me! I would use it to buy a coin and fill a slot in my 7070 type album (or maybe some Walking Liberty Halves.)

    If I was going to pick a coupon I would do one of the Godaddy ones, either the 70% off economy hosting or 50% off hosting plus a free domain name. I had been looking at starting up a blog so I guess those would be good deals to get it started.
45. Lynda Del February 5, 2014 at 9:48 AM

    I would use the gift card towards a new sewing machine.

    I would use the 20% Off Adult Styles at Old Navy.
46. Mel February 5, 2014 at 9:53 AM

    I’d probably buy a new winter coat. I’ve been dragging my feet but its a good time to buy.

    I would probably use a Lands End or Kohl’s discount code to get it.
47. jennifer February 5, 2014 at 9:53 AM

    I would use this for my daughter… she wants a bouquet from edible arrangements and I just can’t make myself spend that much money on cut up fruit!

    from retail me not, I would use the edible arrangements $5 coupon!
48. Brian@ Debt Discipline February 5, 2014 at 10:03 AM

    I’d go with the movie and dinner for my wife!
49. Jan February 5, 2014 at 10:12 AM

    I will buy a Nintendo Wii U console (I already have $100 saved for that purpose)

    And I would use this coupon to save $5 on it (Every dollar counts)
    http://www.retailmenot.com/s/nintendo?c=4324158
50. Alyssa February 5, 2014 at 10:16 AM

    1. I’d put the money towards a sundress (for me) and sunset dinner (for fiance) for our upcoming trip to St. Thomas!
    2. I’ll use RetailMeNot to get discounts on a dress at prAna or Patagonia so I can also afford to cover the dinner.
51. Stacey February 5, 2014 at 10:21 AM

    I would use it for new clothes for myself (to look sexy for the dh!)
    using the retailmenot 25 off 75 at express
52. Dan February 5, 2014 at 10:22 AM

    1. I would treat my wife to a spa trip. She is a great mother and we recently miscarried with our third child at 18 weeks and so she desires some pampering. Anything to help ease the pain.

    2. I could use the bath and body works coupons to bring the spa to her.
53. Dana February 5, 2014 at 10:24 AM

    1) I would put the money towards a new professional wardrobe.
    2) I would use the retailmenot coupon for J Crew.
54. monique grattan February 5, 2014 at 10:37 AM

    This is a simple answer for me…
    I would book an inexpensive over night or weekend get away for my hubby and me! We literally have not had a vacation for several years {I know~ SLAP my hand} and we have made this year, the year to FINALLY pay/reward ourselves! So this gift card would give us an amazing start.

    The retailmenot would certainly go towards an edible arrangement…$5 off! I have always wanted one for myself!
55. Samantha February 5, 2014 at 10:48 AM

    I would go on a Just For Me Spending Spree at H&M, my favorite store. And Retail Me Not happens to have a 15% off your entire purchase coupon! Woo hoo!!!
56. Erin @ Red Debted Stepchild February 5, 2014 at 10:48 AM

    We don’t really do Valentine’s Day but we would likely spend the cash going out to dinner a few times NOT on February 14th. Restaurants are too packed and drama-filled on V-Day and we like our life to be more awkward independent film than romantic comedy :)

    I use RetailMeNot every time I purchase anything online. It’s my go to money saver :)
57. Kathy Cantave February 5, 2014 at 10:49 AM

    My Friend’s hubby recently died leaving with her two boys, so I would use it to keep take her boys out to the movies, giving her the night off, and have edible arrangements delivered to her home (she is obsessed with the stuff)!!
58. miranda@beyondworklifebalance February 5, 2014 at 10:52 AM

    Best Buy 20% coupon, to get a cappucino machine. I live in the Northeast where we are buried under about 9 inches of snow today. I’d snuggle up to my honey, dream of Italy, and watch the snow swirl. I love RetailmeNot. Use them all the time
59. Amanda February 5, 2014 at 10:52 AM

    I’d put some of the money towards the restaurant.com deal from retailmenot for a pair of movie tickets and dinner with my boyfriend!
    Some of the rest we might use to go to Goodwill and pick up some snazzy clothes to dress up in for fun on our night out :)
60. Andrew Elizondo February 5, 2014 at 10:54 AM

    1) My wife works, goes to school, and lots of other things that keep her busy. I would use the $150 just to take out to a basic movie and dinner so she can take it easy.

    2) I’d probably use the restaurant.com coupon on RetailMeNot to make that money stretch further.
    http://www.retailmenot.com/view/restaurant.com#c5503722
61. Aaron February 5, 2014 at 10:54 AM

    I would split up the $150. $40 bucks would go to Amazon. $20 bucks of that would go to buying a lot of zinnia seeds for a 4×8 raised garden. My wife loves zinnia so I will plant a ton of them this year. The other $20 bucks would go to buy The Muppet Show Season 1 DVDs because my wife loves the Muppets and we have to expose our 1 yr old son to the good stuff. $110 (the rest) would go to Sallie Mae needs another nick for the Death of 1000 Cuts.
62. Dee coy February 5, 2014 at 10:56 AM

    I would use it for Victoria Secrets. I love their pajamas, so soft and comforting. Can’t afford to splurge on myself right now. This would be my Valentine Day present to myself.
63. Kevin Vesga February 5, 2014 at 10:57 AM

    I would just use the money to buy myself a USB battery pack for my phone or perhaps an external hard drive (you can never have too many backups).

    As for RetailMeNot, I don’t use it much use since the discounts are often on item-specific and there are rarely discount codes for the stores I shop at. I try though.
64. Amy Orvin February 5, 2014 at 10:58 AM

    I’d would buy perfume at Sephora. I would use the Free Prada Candy Pouch with the purchase of Prada Candy 2.7 oz Eau de Parfum Spray coupon to help.
65. Christina February 5, 2014 at 10:59 AM

    I would probably use the money for dining out. I have definitely used retailmenot when shopping online, the last time was a Macy’s coupon!
66. Stephanie February 5, 2014 at 11:03 AM

    I would use it to buy my boyfriend a new hoodie. He wears his hoodie as a jacket, and his current one is getting threadbare. Retailmenot would save me 35% at the Gap!
67. Lindsee February 5, 2014 at 11:15 AM

    I would use it to take my husband out to dinner and a movie. Retailmenot has movie tickets and restaurant.com giftcards for only $30!
68. Craig February 5, 2014 at 11:17 AM

    I would use the money to buy theater tix for my girlfriend. I also would use the movie tix since we enjoy going.
69. Nancy February 5, 2014 at 11:20 AM

    I’d use the $150 Visa gift card to buy Valentine’s flowers from the FTD site.

    The coupon I’d use to help stretch this purchase is 25TODAYOnly
70. Joel @ SaveOutsideTheBox February 5, 2014 at 11:23 AM

    I would use the $150 on a great dinner out with my wife…and some fancy craft beer!

    I would use the snapfish coupon code on RetailMeNot to make that $150 go further. We need to actually print out some pics of our little baby. Kid these days. They never do that anymore. :)
71. Naoko February 5, 2014 at 11:26 AM

    I would use it to print a collage of photos with friends. A few friends really helped me out over the past year and it’d be nice to thank them. Retailmenot has coupons for Shutterfly and they’ll print a photo collage onto canvas for $47.99 each.
72. Laura February 5, 2014 at 11:30 AM

    I would use the money to buy my husband the Sun Mountain golf bag he’s been eyeing for the last year.

    These bags never go on sale but i found a couple of places that offer free shipping so i would use that for sure.
73. Robin February 5, 2014 at 11:34 AM

    I would probably use the gift card to buy jeans for my teenage son. He’s going through a crazy growth spurt, and the jeans I bought him in September for school got to short, and the jeans I bought in early December to replace the September jeans are now too short.

    I’d use an American Eagle coupon code from Retail Me Not. That’s his favorite store.
74. Amanda February 5, 2014 at 11:34 AM

    I would use the $150 to buy things needed to better organize our new apartment. RetailMeNot Canada’s website tells me that I can save 40% off one item at Micheal’s craft store – they have a lot of DIY projects that could help with organization, too. Thanks!
75. Renee s February 5, 2014 at 11:37 AM

    I would use the $150 to take my boyfriend out :)

    Retailmenot has coupons for restaurant.com–I would probably use those coupons to make my money go further :)
76. Betsy February 5, 2014 at 11:38 AM

    1- I’m job hunting and I could use some interview clothes so that money would certainly come in handy.

    2- Sooo many choices, but I did see a few things on the Garnet Hill website that I liked.

    Oh, and spend a few bucks on chocolate for me!
77. Paula February 5, 2014 at 11:39 AM

    I’d use the gift card for great dinner out with DH and gift for him. And save the rest in our vacation fund.
    I always check RetailMeNot whenever I make any online purchase.
78. Sadie Terry February 5, 2014 at 11:43 AM

    I’d use it for something cute to do with my fiancé
    And I couldn’t find a coupon I liked.

    Sadieparty@gmail.com
79. Angie February 5, 2014 at 11:47 AM

    I would pay someone to shovel our driveway/sidewalk for the rest of the winter so my “Mr. Sexy” won’t have to, and then I’ll take him to dinner and a movie with this $30 coupon from RetailMeNot (http://www.retailmenot.com/view/restaurant.com). YaaaaaY!
80. Shana Brown February 5, 2014 at 11:49 AM

    I would surprise and take this homeless man name Edwin at my church to dinner. He never misses church unlike I do from time to time. I would have him invite two of his buddies and take all three out to dinner on Valentines.

    I would shop at JC Penny and buy him a gift just becasue.

    He truly is a nice person.
81. Jenlarson79 February 5, 2014 at 11:54 AM

    I would use the gift card towards a new winter coat (mine’s getting pretty shabby, but I’ve been waiting until they go on sale).

    And, I could use the Kohl’s deal on RetailMeNot to get it even cheaper!
82. Shay February 5, 2014 at 12:02 PM

    1 – I’d use the money to buy V-day presents for my husband and kids.

    2 – I would use coupons from Target, Amazon, and REI
83. Yana February 5, 2014 at 12:06 PM

    I would use the $150 for groceries. When I look for or use online discount codes such as RetailMeNot, it is when I am ready to make a purchase – that usually ends up to be when I am renewing a domain registration, but I have or would use that site to find a code for buying something like shoes where I already happen to be. No coupon code makes me use a particular merchant, but I use them after the purchase decision has already been made.
84. Jessie C. February 5, 2014 at 12:09 PM

    I’d put the money into family vacation fund this year.

    I would use Kohl’s 20% Off $100 + Kohl’s Cash + Free Shipping
85. FF February 5, 2014 at 12:17 PM

    Well this is fun. Thanks for running the contest!

    I’d use the $150 to get something to keep me warm and dry at Backcountry.com (yes, I’d share the cash with my Valentine so she could have something too).

    And for a twofer, I’d use the coupon at Backcountry so that 150 would get more.
86. Marisa February 5, 2014 at 12:17 PM

    1. I would use some of it to pay off the fun little alignment I had to do on my car after sliding in the ice last week.

    2. I would definitely buy the 2 Movie Tickets & a $100 Restaurant.com eGift Card on RetailMeNot.com! What an amazing deal!

    How to use a coupon…
87. jenna February 5, 2014 at 12:17 PM

    I’d use the $150 toward my upcoming wedding.
    I’d probably use the VS coupon code for something to surprise the future husband!
88. Kat Reag February 5, 2014 at 12:25 PM

    I would use the $150 to buy gear at REI for the backpacking trip to Europe that my boyfriend and I are planning! We’re making a very strict (but sexy;)) budget for the trip to be ready to take off in less than a year! Perhaps we could get a good deal on heavy-duty backpacks :)

    We are also paying off our cars before we go and creating an emergency fund for when we get back, to give us time to settle in and find jobs again!
89. Kristen February 5, 2014 at 12:31 PM

    I would probably use the $150 to be able to go on a nice weekend trip. We live in a pretty isolated area so getting out for a weekend can be quite expensive. I would probably use the Restaurants.com RetailMeNot coupon so we could go out to eat & go to the movies – one of our favorite date nights!
90. Amy February 5, 2014 at 12:33 PM

    I would use the $150 towards a much needed vacation, haven’t had one in almost 4 years. I would use coupons from Target or Kohl’s to help stretch my dollars.
91. Mel February 5, 2014 at 12:37 PM

    I would use the $150 to take my husband on an impromptu road trip to Tucson or Sedona. As a stay-at-home dad and amazing support to his over-achieving wife (that’s me!), we don’t get much time outside of the house AND away from the miniatures. :)

    TheRetailMeNot coupon I would use is Restaurant.com to score a nice place to rest when we get there (it’s a gruelling 2-3 hour drive, ya know)!
92. Maegan February 5, 2014 at 12:50 PM

    1. I could really use a work wardrobe refresh. Most of my clothes were bought when I first starting working full time almost 7 years ago!

    2. Kohl’s or Target for the above-mentioned clothes :-)
93. Rosemary February 5, 2014 at 12:53 PM

    I would use the $150.00 gift card to have some fun. After a month of $600.00 car repair and now having to buy a washing machine, I really could use some fun. I think I deserve a broadway show.

    I will probably use the Best Buy coupon for a new tv.
94. Pam February 5, 2014 at 12:59 PM

    I am single so I wouldn’t use it for V-day but I would use the Best Buy coupon because I really, really, really want a GoPro to film my dog’s antics.
95. Shannon February 5, 2014 at 1:05 PM

    I would use the $150 on Edible Arrangement gifts for all my friends who love fruit. I would stretch it by using the Edible Arrangement coupon.
96. Kristen February 5, 2014 at 1:06 PM

    I’d use it to buy new bedding at Macys – and I would use a macys coupon from Retailmenot.com!
97. Drew February 5, 2014 at 1:09 PM

    I’d most certainly use it on the dinner and movie option. I’d send the movie tickets to her parents and take her somewhere nice!
98. Little Miss Moneybags February 5, 2014 at 1:27 PM

    I’ve been wanting to add more diapers to our cloth diaper stash – so I’d probably hit up Jillian’s Drawers using RetailMeNot!
99. Cedes February 5, 2014 at 1:36 PM

    I’d probably use the money to help buy myself a new refrigerator. Found a great discount/coupon code for Sears that gives me $50 off any appliance purchase over $300. So that plus this gift card would automatically give me $200 off! That’d be awesome!
100. Ruth February 5, 2014 at 1:47 PM

     I would use it to surprise someone with unexpected Valentine’s flowers and use one of their coupons to get the best deal possible! :)
101. Donna Freedman February 5, 2014 at 1:57 PM

     My laptop is five years old now and while I hope to limp along with it for a few more years, I know at some point I will need to buy a new one. Thus that $150 Visa gift card would be a jump-start toward a new machine, combined with one of RMN’s coupons for the Apple Store.
     (But I’d really rather use it all on chocolate.)
102. Angella February 5, 2014 at 2:02 PM

     I’d probably use the prepaid gift card for groceries lol. Not very fun, but would come in handy. If I wasn’t being reasonable, I’d put it towards a new laptop! Since I don’t see any Best Buy coupons for laptops, I’d settle for using the Kohls or Michaels 20% off! I always check Retail Me Not before ordering online, love that site.
103. Brittany February 5, 2014 at 2:06 PM

     I would use it for date night and some fun shopping (combined with our movie theater gift card for date night, this can go far).

     I would probably use the 2 movie tickets/$100 restaurant.com gift card for $30 coupon. Then I could use our gift card for concessions, try a new restaurant and dinner is covered. Then still plenty of gift card money left for in the future!
104. Crystal February 5, 2014 at 2:12 PM

     1. I’d use the $150 on a date night and for photo gifts for Valentine’s Day and birthdays.
     2. I could use these Shutterfly coupons for the photo gifts, http://www.retailmenot.com/view/shutterfly.com.
105. Chelsea Spurgeon February 5, 2014 at 2:18 PM

     I would honestly use the $150 for groceries and gas to visit home. I would use the 15% off and free shipping on purchases over $50 for kohls.com if I were to use coupons to make the gift card last longer :)
106. Done by Forty February 5, 2014 at 2:49 PM

     Cool giveaway! I think I’d use the money on board games. And for #2, I noticed that there’s a coupon for $16 off of Ticket to Ride, which is incredible! I might just buy it anyway, even if you end up being stingy and not giving me the $150. :)
107. Mariyam Mahbub February 5, 2014 at 2:58 PM

     I would use the 20% off Michael’s Mobile coupon for all my craft and DIY project needs. Also, YARN.
108. Joel February 5, 2014 at 3:00 PM

     I would buy flowers for the women in my life… daughter, sisters, mother and the Mrs.!

     The 2 movie ticket & $100 for $30 coupon would be the one I use!

     Always a pleasure J. Money and grateful for these opportunities you share with us! :-)
109. Rachel February 5, 2014 at 3:07 PM

     1. I would use this gift card for groceries and a bottle of wine to celebrate Valentine’s Day!
     2. I’m planning on using the coupon codes for BlueNile to buy my wedding ring for cheap! Gotta keep those wedding expenses as low as possible!
110. thedubya February 5, 2014 at 3:20 PM

     I need a new video card so I would get one with it. Retailmenot is my go-to site for Round Table Pizza coupons.
111. Michelle G. February 5, 2014 at 3:46 PM

     I would use the $150 to buy myself some new bras and undies. Yep. It’s true. I would use the retailmenot coupon for 30 bucks off a $150 purchase at Victoria’s Secret. And I buy myself 180 dollars worth of bras and underpants.
112. Sarah February 5, 2014 at 3:58 PM

     I would use the money to take my husband out for a sushi dinner – he’s been working really hard at his business (commercial cleaning company) and deserves some good sashimi! If we had any money left over, I would put it into our Fun Money savings fund for an upcoming vacation trip. :)

     Nothing on RetailMeNot could help with my Valentine’s Day outing, but I use it often for Walgreens and iStock discounts!
113. Corie February 5, 2014 at 4:00 PM

     I would use part of the gift card to get my husband some clothes since he never buys them for himself. I would use retailmenot in conjunction with ebates.com to get the best deal on the clothes – probably with Macy’s coupons.
114. Grayson @ Debt Roundup February 5, 2014 at 4:11 PM

     I am going to be a little selfish here, but that is because I got V-day wrapped up. I need a new top for my lifted Jeep, so I would head over to 4wd.com and use the 5% off coupon along with this card and get me a top. It is damn cold driving with only a bikini on ;). No, not me, the Jeep is wearing a bikini!
115. James K February 5, 2014 at 4:17 PM

     I would use the money to buy my wife some craft supplies. We have a joke between the two of us that goes like this: “the couple that coupons together, stays together.” She has since wanted to make some sort of decorative piece to hang in our house that says exactly that. However, we have both agreed it would only make sense if we used coupons to buy these supplies. Winning this gift card would be the perfect gift for her.

     We would use the Amazon.com coupon to get free shipping on the crafts we purchased!
116. Kate February 5, 2014 at 4:50 PM

     1) I’d use it to buy some new clothes since I haven’t shopped for clothes in a very long time.

     2) I’d use a JCPenney coupon from retailmenot for clothes.
117. Sam February 5, 2014 at 4:55 PM

     1. I would have a shopping spree at Victoria’s Secret, because then both the husband and I win! ;)
     2. There is a great coupon to VS on Retailmenot for free shipping!
118. jay February 5, 2014 at 4:56 PM

     Probably use it to catch up on some bills!

     Or at retailmenot shutterfly to finally print some of the pics of my family?
119. Ashley February 5, 2014 at 5:05 PM

     I love retail me not – always gotta check it before I buy anything online. I’d use a Nike code for new shoes!
120. Kathy J February 5, 2014 at 5:11 PM

     I would spend the money on taking my parents out for a nice dinner & throw the rest towards my savings account.

     The coupon I’d use at Retail me not would be for Restaurant.com
     they have really good bargains.
121. Richard February 5, 2014 at 5:12 PM

     I would use the $150 to make a payment on my mortgage. Every little bit helps!

     I use retailmenot quite often though, especially for coupon codes for men’s clothing.
122. Joe February 5, 2014 at 5:15 PM

     I’d pay for a babysitter and take the Mrs. out for a nice dinner.

     I’ll probably use the 20% Petco coupon. That’s a great deal and I don’t have to drive to the pet store.
123. Lindsay February 5, 2014 at 5:25 PM

     I’d use the card to buy some domain names and build a few websites for friends that have been asking.

     I’m using the coupon code at Retail Me Not to save 25% on a StudioPress theme so I can make these site look fancy http://www.retailmenot.com/s/studiopress?c=5360965

     Thanks for the contest
124. Thomas S February 5, 2014 at 5:44 PM

     1. dinner date with the mrs while someone watches the kids
     2. petco coupon so that my dog could get some new toys
125. Frankie's Girl February 5, 2014 at 5:51 PM

     I would use it for something non-Valentines related, since I dislike the day.

     Probably would use one of their Amazon coupons since we already have points earned through Amazon and make semi-frequent purchases, it would be a discount on a discount!
126. cynthia rafler February 5, 2014 at 6:21 PM

     I would spend the whole $150 gift card on ProFlowers on my Valentine Sweetie. He works hard and deserves a lot on our special day. They have flowers, gifts and chocolate covered strawberries. YUM!
127. Linda B. February 5, 2014 at 7:19 PM

     I would use the whole $150 gift card on Amazon.com to buy a telescoping ladder. No joke. Squirrels gnawed a hole in my garage ceiling and it’s far too high for me to reach with any of my regular ladders. Then, when I was done, I could just telescope the ladder down into a small package and store it away until the next time it’s needed.
128. Kelly D February 5, 2014 at 7:48 PM

     I would buy clothing for my 2 kids and I would use the Up To 20% Off Regular, Sale , Clearance Prices & More coupon for Macy’s to stretch the $150.
129. Celina February 5, 2014 at 8:09 PM

     I’d use the money to start an in-house emergency cash stash. You know, if all the credit/debit cards don’t work, the banks have all gone under, etc.

     I use retailmenot all the time, especially for renting cars- budget always has good coupon codes.
130. xine February 5, 2014 at 8:11 PM

     1. New lingerie!
     2. The victoria’s secret coupon.
131. Ben @ The Wealth Gospel February 5, 2014 at 8:14 PM

     The wifey and I are separated until the end of the school year due to me working in Texas and her still teaching in Arkansas, so I would spend all of it on her throughout the rest of the school year to send her random reminders of how much I love her. For example, edible arrangements (delish!), maybe an awesome website where she can showcase her art (she’s an amazing painter), I’ll order her a pizza on a night when she’s wishing I were home to whip up some yummy food for her, surprise her by coming up on a weekend and taking her out to dinner and a movie a la restaurant.com.

     And such other things. There are endless possibilities!
132. Kimberly February 5, 2014 at 8:21 PM

     Being completely honest – I’d be using the $150 on myself as I seem to be lacking a Valentine this year. I love this site and use their coupons a lot and I recommend them all the time (do you think they’ll give ME a gift card? LOL)! Just kidding. I’m going on vacation in Florida in April so I’d probably visit Old Navy for some clothes, and maybe Fandango or AMC theaters for some a movie and some goodies and who knows maybe dinner too?! :) It is a great site… lots of fun to be found and lots of money to be saved! Who doesn’t like that?
133. Jason White February 5, 2014 at 8:53 PM

     I would use the money to take my wife out to a fancy dinner.
     I use retail me not for some stuff@kohls
134. Carla February 5, 2014 at 8:57 PM

     I would use the $150 to take my boyfriend out instead of cooking. I’m on a tight budget so it would be nice to take him out for a change :) (he always tries to cook something for me).

     I would use the Retailmenot app by using the Best buy 20% off to get something for him and the Express deal to get myself a nice outfit and if we have some left over, probably I will check out the Restaurant.com deal they have for a dinner & movie since he’s dying to watch the Lego’s movie :)
135. Lynda February 5, 2014 at 8:59 PM

     my husband loves basketball shoes so this could go towards his shoe fund. in that regard, i would make sure he uses the foot locker coupon code for $15 Off $70+ Sitewide =)
136. Alyssa Peterson February 5, 2014 at 9:02 PM

     I’ve been working hard on getting back in shape, and now none of my dress pants fit for work! I’d love to be able to buy some new pants that actually fit…and I know that RetailMeNot has plenty of women’s clothing stores on its site :)
137. Courtney February 5, 2014 at 9:30 PM

     I’d use the $150 to get clothes for my daughters, they are growing out of everything right now!
     I’d use a kohls coupon and the restaurant.com deal from retailmeknot.
138. Karen @ Money Saving Enthusiast February 5, 2014 at 9:35 PM

     I would definitely go on Amazon. A handbag or some shoes sounds pretty perfect to me. I love Retail Me Not. They have the best promo codes. Maybe I’ll get something for hubby too (if there’s any money left over). Ha! I think I would buy a real card and thank you too. : )
139. Joyatee February 5, 2014 at 9:42 PM

     1. I would buy a pair of horseback riding lessons. My boyfriend and I have been wanting to go horseback riding for a while, but have never bitten the bullet.
     2. I love Retailmenot. I’d probably use it to get dinner (Restaurant.com) and some ice cream from Baskin Robbins for the two of us.

     Thanks for the giveaway!
140. martha preston February 6, 2014 at 12:06 AM

     Welll to be honest I probably should use it to jump start my savings account but I would probably use it to treat myself since I haven’t do so in over three years and I would take my mentally challenged sister on a fun mini-vacation to stay at spa on something. I would use Retailmenot has movie tickets and restaurant.com giftcards for only $30! As starter so that we can begin with something fun! We have had a rough year and this would make it a little better
141. Francisco February 6, 2014 at 1:41 AM

     Thanks for the contest!
     1. I would use the gift card for a hotel stay for a weekend trip.
     2. I’d use a coupon to receive a visa gift card with a 4 tire purchase at Discount Tire.
     Thanks again!
     PS – May your wife enjoy your Valentine’s day gift!
142. Carlotta February 6, 2014 at 4:30 AM

     1.I would buy me the fit force. the force. don’t you just love the name?
     2. with the amazon coupon.
143. Brian R February 6, 2014 at 5:41 AM

     I would use the 150 dollars to take wife on a date

     I love retailmenot.com, they have saved me so much money with free shipping codes
144. Mike February 6, 2014 at 5:44 AM

     I would use the $150 on dinner with my wife

     I would use the restaurant.com and Victoria secret coupon from retail me not
145. Kimberly February 6, 2014 at 9:56 AM

     I’d probably use the $150 for home improvement stuff!

     Would love to see better coupon codes for Gap!
146. Charlie @ Our Journey To Zero Debt February 6, 2014 at 10:16 AM

     I would use the $150.00 gift card and schedule a few massages for my wife.

     I would use any Target coupons cause diapers and baby supplies can really add up.
147. Sheila February 6, 2014 at 11:15 AM

     I would use the $150 at Blue Nile with the coupon from retailmenot. Have a charm bracelet & only get charms once a year so it still looks pitiful.
148. Angie February 6, 2014 at 11:49 AM

     Every single extra dollar we get is going towards wedding costs – so I would use this money towards a suit for my groom-to-be, and use the 20% Macy’s coupon on RetailMeNot to get it! Fingers crossed!
149. Kelley February 6, 2014 at 12:05 PM

     I would use it for my Amazon wish list–there are so many things I’d like to buy (especially with V-day coming up!). I’d use the 30% Off Select Jewelry coupon on RetailMeNot to get a little something for myself too…
150. Chris February 6, 2014 at 12:05 PM

     I just had major surgery and would use it for my medical bills. I might use the retailmenot coupon if my son orders some Nikes online. Thank you for the giveaway.
151. kelly February 6, 2014 at 12:54 PM

     i would sooooo use the $150.00 to help pay off the last of a cc….PLUS use the restaurant.com + 2 free movie tickets since the hubby LOVES to eat and go see movies!
152. Chris @ Flipping A Dollar February 6, 2014 at 1:03 PM

     I’d use it on a date night for the wife and I. Restaurant probably, like Outback and maybe a movie. We don’t include gift cards on our budget, so it’s always nice not having to worry about $$$ for the night!
153. Kelsey February 6, 2014 at 1:27 PM

     I would use it on books at Barnes & Noble for reading material on the next vacay I’m going to take!
154. Ashley February 6, 2014 at 1:33 PM

     I would give the gift card to my husband, who is a stay-at home dad and is going to college classes at night to become an registered nurse! He is an AMAZING husband and dad, and deserves it 150%.

     Although I like to envision something more glamorous, we’d likely use the Amazon coupon on RetailMeNot for “Up to 90% Off Textbooks + Free 2 Day Shipping For College Students”– textbooks are expensive!!! :-x

     Thanks, J. Money — I just subscribed to your posts about three weeks ago after seeing a Yahoo! article that referenced you. Now we are obsessed with budgeting!! (Did I mention stay at home dad?? I.e. me bringing in the sole income??) Your tips are great. :)
155. Kelli February 6, 2014 at 3:05 PM

     I would use this $150 toward our upcoming vacation.

     I might use one of the Marriott coupons on Retail Me Not on said vacation to stretch it even further.
156. San February 6, 2014 at 4:30 PM

     We’ve been wanting to get a vitamix blender – so that would be a sexy valentine’s day gift for me and the missus. I would use this Best Buy coupon to buy that
     http://www.retailmenot.com/?c=5471980
157. One Frugal Girl February 6, 2014 at 5:02 PM

     I’d use it towards our Valentine’s dinner. I think we’ve had three dates since my son was born over 2 years ago! Pretty sad, huh? Retailmenot has tons of great restaurant coupons so I’d probably find a local one or just buy a restaurant.com gift certificate.
158. Caitlin February 6, 2014 at 7:51 PM

     So not original, given the comments above, but I would use it to go out to dinner on Valentine’s Day. Since our tradition is burgers and ice cream, that should leave plenty leftover to buy our the entire aisle at Walgreen’s the next day. :)

     And I generally use retailmenot when I’m buying clothes online – always check for deals for Anthropologie and J Crew!
159. JJ February 6, 2014 at 8:11 PM

     Since I will be moving into a new home this year, I would use the $150 towards whatever I needed (or wanted)…my Amazon wishlist is sooo long:)

     I would probably use a coupon similar to this to help me out:

     http://instore.thread.co/retailmenot/bestbuy.com/offer/DVV2QFYEVRDBTCKYBI2DQP6LOA

     Thanks, J. Money!
160. Crystal C February 6, 2014 at 8:56 PM

     I’m planning a wedding so I’d love to use the cash along with a Michael’s coupon to help offset costs.
161. Chung L February 6, 2014 at 8:59 PM

     I want to get my husband a skiing jacket. I want to use the REI coupons to help offset the cost.
162. Hannah February 6, 2014 at 10:23 PM

     We could really use some more clothes, so I would use it toward them, and I’d look for a JCP or Sears coupon on retailmenot. I use that website all the time!
163. kim February 7, 2014 at 12:23 AM

     I would get myself some nice clothes with the Aeropostale, Kohl’s, and Macy’s coupons on RetailMeNot.
164. Lona Pritchett February 7, 2014 at 7:33 AM

     The microwave went out before Christmas. I would use the 20% off Best Buy for a microwave and use the rest to buy hubby a nice fishing pole for V -day!
165. Jacob February 7, 2014 at 7:46 AM

     I think mine is pretty lame, but my wife would love it.

     I would use it to purchase heat. We are currently using a few small space heaters and with the weather we have been having, she has been freezing. I plan to get central heat, so this would definitely help us get there sooner.
166. Diana Boso February 7, 2014 at 9:25 AM

     I’d probably use the $150 to go on a date with my hubby. We have three kids (newest one is only 3 months) so we don’t get a lot of time to ourselves. As for the retailmenot coupon, I’m guessing I’d use the carter’s coupon to buy cute new clothes for the adorable 3 month old!
167. Sarah Greesonbach February 7, 2014 at 9:27 AM

     I’d throw that bad boy into savings and/or use the Amazon coupon!
168. Laura February 7, 2014 at 9:49 AM

     Id use it on a new laptop! Mine is really showing its age. And since I’ve been looking at laptops on Amazon, that amazon coupon is perfect for me :)
169. Megan M February 7, 2014 at 11:09 AM

     I would get my husband Pet Shop boys tickets. Hopefully one of the livenation coupon codes will work.
170. Salome February 7, 2014 at 12:16 PM

     Dick’s Sporting Goods is where the money would go– on some new workout clothes for my boyfriend and I. We’re on a healthy living kick! RetailMeNot usually has some great Dick’s coupons to stretch the money too!
171. Stuart February 7, 2014 at 12:22 PM

     I would use the $150 to pay some bills. I know that is the boring answer, but it’s true.

     I use retailmenot every time I purchase something online to make sure that I am not throwing away money.
172. Caitlin February 7, 2014 at 1:50 PM

     I would use the $150 to invest in 1-2 pairs of quality shoes for myself – I am so tired of cheap flats that have no support and make my back hurt by the end of the day! I would stretch my $$$ by using the Starbucks offer on retailmenot – you get a free drink when you join the rewards program! I love getting to know new coworkers by taking them out to coffee and by joining a rewards program, I could stretch my $$$ even further!
173. Sandi February 8, 2014 at 9:58 AM

     1. A plane ticket for my husband to come and visit me while I’m traveling for work!

     2. Southwest or United coupon would help stretch the $$ nicely.
174. Alissa A February 8, 2014 at 11:37 AM

     I would use the money at Amazon. Buy my boyfriend all of his favorite things!

     Me and my partner never really celebrate Valentine’s Day. Even after almost 14 years. Just another day on the calendar for us both. If I were to win, I’d would just split the $150 between us both so we could each pick up a little something for ourselves.

     I would probably take advantage of the Best Buy 20% off small appliance coupon from ReatilMeNot and put It toward the purchase of an Keurig Brewer since I’ve been wanting one for quite some time now, but didn’t want to spend a fortune on one either.

     I would use $150 to get extra groceries and I would use a Sam’s club coupon so I could join and save.

     I would take my husband out to dinner, and use the buy one get one half off offer from Ruby Tuesdays

     I would use it to buy new work clothes! Recently employed with my first “real” job, and only have nice winter clothes. Time to start thinking about spring and summer! Kohl’s, Macy’s, anything along those lines on RetailMeNot works for me!

     Having been laid off, the $150 would go towards purchasing some quality interview outfits. My last position allowed use to wear jeans daily, so my professional wardrobe is lacking. I’d probably use Retailmenot’s discount codes for Macy’s and Banana Republic so I can stretch my money and be ready for any corporate interviews.

     I would use it to to buy an upcoming birthday gift for my husband, a tool, most likely; I like the RMN coupon for Kohls: Extra 15% off storewide! Love that store.
