I love Madwell - the edgier, less preppy sister of J Crew. I recently signed up to receive their catalog and when it came the other day there was a sweet surprise inside - a $25 gift card with absolutely no restrictions (no minimum).
Now I figured that there would be little that I could get - that I would actually want - for that amount since their prices are pretty much line with J Crew but I thought I would take a look and see what the Sale section had in store.

| Transmission Tee in Traffic Red. Soft, pretty and a color I normally wouldn't gravitate toward. |
This tee was on sale for $28.50 (down from $38) but with shipping and tax it would have been around $37 and with my $25 gift card $12. I know what you're thinking, $12 is not a bad price, but I guess I was thinking I didn't really need it and wouldn't have even been looking for it had it not been for the enticement of the free $25. So I held off. Good thinking, because the next day I received an email from Madewell - because I created an account on their site - for 10% off and free shipping on my next order (again with no limitations)!
So here's the math:
$28.50 (tee on sale from $38)
-$2.85 (10% off promo code)
+ $8.50 (shipping )
-$8.50 (free shipping promo - same as above)
+$1.54 (tax)
-$25.00 (promo gift card in catalog)
$2.19 (price paid!)
Now had there been something I wanted or needed I would have waited and put the $25 and promo codes to better use. But since they both expired at the end of the month I figured it would be a use or lose situation for me.
