And that’s it! We did have a pretty good deal on a watch last night but the retailer asked me to take down the post since the code could get them in trouble with their supplier (I posted it legitimately but it was used far more than they had anticipated). If you were able to get in on that deal, good for you as it was an incredible one! I think we sent more traffic to that retailer than anyone else does so they did notice! 🙂
