On the Cheap - Crate & Barrel

While I don’t normally shop at Crate & Barrel, if at all, I have come across an interesting phenomenon. If you start a registry, be it a wedding, baby, house-warming, or barmitzvah, and you don’t get some of the over-priced fancy blenders and knives you wished for at your shower or party, you can expect a 10% off coupon for a shopping trip aimed at those items. The coupon also appears to be applicable toward an online purchase of those items.

I am not advocating that anyone who reads this build a registry of items they want without an event actually happening, but it sure would be a good way to save 10% off an entire shipping trip.
