Mind the Gap

There’s one reason I sign up for retailers’ mass e-mails: promotional discounts. And this week Gap has e-mailed out a great one: 30 percent off all purchases Thursday, July 30 through Sunday, Aug. 2 in stores, and a one-time 30 percent discount online. Plus, it’s good at the sister shops, Banana Republic, Old Navy, and new sports wear brand Athleta.

If you got the e-mail, share the love by forwarding to friends you know aren’t on the list (Gap allows forwarding with it). If you didn’t, be sure to sign up here so you get the next sale alert.

If shopping spam drives you crazy, don’t use your regular e-mail address. Think about creating a designated free online e-mail account and sign up for the lists from your favorite stores. Then you can check for discounts on your own terms.
