This post is sponsored by RetailMeNot. We've partnered to giveaway a $500 Visa gift card to one lucky reader--details to enter at the bottom of the post.
We've made it a weekly feature to share Weekend Sales on Saturday mornings on the blog, along with many throughout the week on Instagram stories and I always get asked, "How do you find out about these sales?!" Truthfully, I have many systems in place, brands reach out to me directly, an intern to help put it together and a few hundred thousand people putting the pressure on (talk about motivation!)--but RetailMeNot has been like a second assistant!
If you're not familiar with RetailMeNot, it's a site, app, blog and they have a new browser extension, called RetailMeNot Genie that basically spoon-feeds you all the best deals at the places you already shop online (think Target, Madewell, Amazon, J.Crew, Crate & Barrel)--okay, those are all the places I already shop online, but they have hundreds and hundreds! As soon as I made an account for RetailMeNot, I signed up to receive their best deals email straight to my inbox. I used to subscribe to EVERY brand's newsletter so I would be notified of sales and be able to pass them on, but this has made it so much easier, not to mention my inbox is a lot happier, by compiling the best deals into one email.
Obviously, this is all my job, and it's been a fun weekend addition to our normal DIY posts around here, but if you're too busy to search for deals, and it's not Saturday morning on the blog ;), the new RetailMeNot Genie browser extension actually will do all the work for you. It finds, combines and applies savings at checkout.
Here are a few examples of how the Genie browser extension works. See that little purple R in the right corner next to the search bar? That's the deal alert, as I like to call it. When it's purple, that site has deals, when it's gray, it doesn't. When we were looking for faucets and hardware for the cabin kitchen, I love to check Wayfair and Build.com first (both are in the RetailMeNot directory) and both had purple Rs when I went to the site, letting me know there were deals to snag. In the end, the Genie popped up and said we could save $8.28 at checkout on Build.com with a click of a button!
I get a lot off clothes for myself and the girls at H&M, did you know they do cash back all the time and you don't have to go to any other site to unlock it?! Just click the purple Genie extension, Activate Cashback and it will show up in your RetailMeNot wallet...more money for jeans.
And speaking of denim, Madewell (MADEWELL!!!) has cash back through RetailMeNot as well right now. I love their jeans because they fit so well and they carry "taller" sizes.
I love shopping The Container Store when there's a good deal, but as soon as I saw the Genie extension wasn't purple, I knew I could probably find a better price somewhere else.
And if saving money at all your favorite places wasn't fun enough, we're giving away a $500 Visa Giftcard! Visit retailmenot.com/genie/ to install the free browser extension (works for Chrome & Firefox). Then visit your favorite online store and comment below with the discount you're most excited to use! We'll announce a winner as an update to this post on Monday!

Madewell, always.
Omg the container store for sure! Really need to do an update and organize my life. Also madewell because I need new high waisted jeans for fall!
There are so many shops I enjoy shopping online. Two of my favorites are Etsy and eBay, since I know I can find used, repurposed or hand-crafted items in these shops. I highly value good bargains as well as purchasing in a way that has minimal impact on the environment.
Madewell! Thank you for opening my eyes to this!!! ????????
Wayfair, for sure!
I’m definitely most excited about The Container Store discounts. My goal for 2018 is to be more organized in my storages spaces like closets, drawers, and cabinets. I’m getting there but could use some help to snag the right products at the right time, when the deals are hot!
OMGahh Target discounts FTW!
Wayfair!
Eeeeek! This is fantastic!!! Just found a coupon for 20% entire order for Rejuvenation, and I'm excited to be able to buy my favorite cabinet hardware for our kitchen renovation without breaking the budget! :)
I know that this browser extension will save me ALL KINDS of money! And best of all... I barely have to think about it, and I don't have to use any extra time to find out if there are discounts!
P.S. I've been binging your podcast episodes in the morning, and I used your idea of reverse google image searching to save over $100 on a rug a few weeks ago! THANK YOU!
Target ????
Target for the win!!!
Omg Madewell for sure!
Yay for a Target discount!!
WAYFAIR!! YES!! PLEASE!!

J Crew and Loft for sure.... Thank you!
Most excited about Wayfair they have amazing decor.
So glad to know that they have madewell discounts! We just moved to a new state and no longer have a madewell store close by - so online shopping it is!
Most excited for Wayfair! But will definitely be using so many of these! Thanks!
Wow! Target made well to name two! Wasn’t aware of this website before

I'm excited to try Madewell. I keep looking at their clothes and admiring them on others but haven't pulled the trigger quite yet!
Wayfair!!! I can’t seem to stay away from their site and welcome any opportunity to snag a discount!!
How awesome! Definitely excited about Madewell and Wayfair discounts!!
Most definitely Target for all their incredible home goods! I'm always on the hunt for a good promo code or sale. Thanks for sharing!!
who exactly doesn't shop at target or amazon & love saving money?!

Madewell!
Target and Wayfair for sure!
Wayfair, Overstock, Target! What great timing- we just bought our first home (doubling square footage) so we need to buy a lot of stuff to fill it up! Also Madewell & H&M for the season change to fall... : ) Thanks as always for the great tips and ideas! I adore your blog :)
Wayfair and Target!

Awesome! Thank you for sharing. The AE one (so basic) is super helpful right now, as I need some new fall stuff and theirs is SO cute.
We're building a new home so I'm pretty excited that Wayfair is included! Love a good deal and a surprise discount at checkout is pretty much the cherry on top!
Target!
I'm eyeing Restoration Hardware's 25% off coupon!! But I'm loving all the Target deals in one place and Madewell jeans are my fav too!
Target for the WIN!
60% off nighstands at wayfair!
The H&M code so I can get my kiddo some cute new pants!
Was just shopping for some new work pants...J Crew! Yay!
Target! Such an easy way to save—thank you!
ASOS $70 Off orders of $250 code. Need all the cute maternity clothes....and then will use when I need all the cute transnational clothes!
I do love this blog. I haven't ever commented before, but the time has come. As I drive around the area I live and see new storage place after new storage place go up where tracks of woods were recently located, I can't help but think that the new proliferation of design blogs that now have weekly "latest sales" or "my favorite things" with links to buy, buy, buy, aren't helping. Your blog and many of the more popular design blogs are influencers. I realize that you also make a part of your income from those very places that you link and when people purchase. We all, except for the true minimalist have to much "stuff".
I just would love to see more decorating via nature or whatever you already have, more mixing up what you already have in your wardrobe, rather than buy, buy, buy. This is not just your blog...but many that are out there.
I'm excited to save at Kohls....I shop there all the time.
I'm happy to see the codes all listed in one place for Target! How cool is that? 20% off women's clothing, yes please!!
How about Mac users?
I use a Mac! You can still use chrome
What?! I’m completely blown away! This H&M info is amazing! I can’t wait- just installed the extension, let’s see how much I save!
JCREW, 15% off select styles!
I don't know exactly what retailer but probably something for our bathroom renovation and most likely Amazon!
Target and Madewell...this could get dangerous. Thanks!!
Wayfair!
H&M! They have the cutest leather tray and I love how they have cash back right now.
I'm excited for the Madewell one!
Target

38 weeks pregnant and dreaming of buying regular clothes again soon! May get something early with the JCrew sale. Thanks for hosting!
Great post, I feel like I'm in the know! J Crew has some fun new fall styles and I have always wanted to try their jeans. 30% Off Select Full-Price Styles
I can’t wait to use my discount at Wayfair!
Target and JCrew.
$10 cash back for $40 spent at Loft- hooray!
Target! I spend too much money there!
I have been using ebates for years, but I love we new app since it combines cash back and deal alerts! And I will definitely use the cash back option to target :)
I love using Retail Me Not and am so glad you posted about the Genie. I love the Gap and Target sales and twist my arm, I guess I will have to check out the Madewell site. Thanks for the giveaway! Have a great weekend!
Target! Or Madewell. So excited to learn about the genie. Thank you!

I put the browser on my desktop at work... Don't tell!! Don't have a computer at home!

You always look on point! Target, Madewell, J.Crew...gimme all the deals!!

Madewell! After being pregnant or breast-feeding for most the last three years, it’s time to finally score some jeans that make me feel good. Thanks so much for the tip about Retailmenot!
ALL THE DEALS!! Stocking up on some new pieces before my wedding trip to Italy!
Madwell! I'm three months postpartum and five pounds from my weight loss goal. I promised myself a new pair of Madewells when I got back to my old size.
Yay for deals at Target!
I use retail me not for Old Navy and Gap coupons and they never let me down!
Best Buy! Electronics are always so expensive!
Yes! Been using retailmenot to save money for years! Definitely saving money at Target is the best!
H&M's 25% Off 1 Item + Free Shipping With Email Sign-up - looking forward to getting some fresh things for fall! Always lived RetailmeNot but this makes it much easier! Thanks!
I always wondered how you found so many amazing sales and deals!
My cousin is getting married in November. I'm on the hunt for the perfect dress and just found one a few days ago at Barneys but was holding out for a coupon code via email. RetailMeNot has $20 cash back right now (!!!), so I'll probably bite the bullet and buy it tonight so I have time to get it tailored if needed.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Madewell!! A brand I’ve never actually purchased because of the higher price point but the retail me not genie makes it more accessible
Target and madewell!!
Loving it for Target!
Ummm...in the middle of a renovation, so build.com for sure!!
Many to choose from, Madewell, Target, H&M!

I am most excited to use the extension at Macy's (for a new mattress I will need to be posting as well as some furniture) and Target (because who doesn't love Target!). Thanks CLJ, you guys are amazing.
I will definitely be using that cash back for Madewell jeans!! Only wish I had known about it sooner! Thanks for the heads up.
H&M!! It’s basically the only place I shop.
SO excited to use this at Target!! I shop there all the time but had no idea this genie existed. Just installed. Can’t wait to get so many good coupons!
Target of course :)
I'm excited about Target discounts! I always check retailmenot for coupon codes but didn't know about genie. Thanks!
I had no idea there was a browser extension making the app even easier to use! I noticed there's a discount on dance gear at Target I will use to get my daughter a new leotard. Thank you for the chance to win!
I just installed the RetailMeNot browser and headed straight to build.com, where I saved $78.64(!!!) on kitchen hardware. Thank you x 78.64 :)
