Alice.com for the Lazy Frugal Shopper: Better than Amazon Subscriptions
UPDATE! All fifty $10 credits have been given out to readers. Thanks for the great feedback and remember, you still get a $10 credit just for signing up AND a referral fee on friends and family that you introduce to Alice.com as new customers.
I want to save money anywhere I can, but a coupon clipper? I am not.
For me, if I'm going to use a coupon, it has to literally be handed to me.
Yes. I'm that lazy about saving money. If that coupon isn't handed to me and isn't a coupon for something I was already going to buy...then I'm paying full price.
Or not!
Enter Alice.com. Ahhh, Alice. She's an enabler alright, that Alice.
I can get all the benefits of couponing without flipping through a single circular or mailing.
Let me explain.
Alice.com, officially launching today, is a web shopping platform that starts by asking a few things about who is in your family. After that they take you through all the essentials that your family buys on a regular basis. You know, like toilet paper, deodorant, toothpaste, trash bags, dishwashing detergent, DOG FOOD.
I bet you're thinking, "Dog food? Is this woman insane, the amount of shipping will totally defeat the whole purpose of ordering something like that online!"
Oh no, my friend. Guess what.
SHIPPING IS FREE!
ALWAYS!
So, just like Amazon Subscriptions, you can set up auto-delivery of all the items you need for your household, except:
- ahem, shipping is free
- if there's a coupon for it, Alice.com lets you know and if you add to your cart, the coupon is applied automagically.
- you can shop by room; you know, kitchen, bathroom, cleaning, laundry, and more; so that you don't forget anything.
In fact, Alice.com also helps you budget so you can manage your household spending on things you NEED to buy.
The kicker? To celebrate launch, Alice.com gave me $500 in credit to give away to my readers. Instead of holding a contest, I'm going to make this really simple.
The first 50 readers who sign up for Alice.com using my referral link (so I can track) and leave a comment here about your first impressions of Alice.com will get a $10 credit applied to their account.
You must use the referral link AND leave a comment to get this so please do not leave the comment until you've signed up for a free account.
Even better? When you use my referral link, you get a $10 credit toward your Alice.com account (when you spend $50) for being a new customer. So the first 50 that get that first $10 giveaway (no strings!) can also get ANOTHER $10 applied to their account when they spend $50. That's a total of potentially $20 credit!
So what are you waiting for? Are you going to be One of my 50 lucky readers to win?
