The people in charge of email marketing for the big box stores are REALLY good at what they do.  Their job is to get you to click thru and buy something–so they’re gonna pull out all the stops to do that.  Flash sales. Exclusive coupons. Even free shipping. They know if they can get you to click, you’re more likely to buy something.

If, like me, you just can’t resist a good deal when it arrives in your inbox, it might be time to find the unsubscribe option on the bottom of the email. It’ll remove the temptation and clean up your inbox too. Now that’s a win-win!
