Gaucho: Savings Inside

Yes. It’s true.

Okay, it was proven by me. Yesterday. And, when I say, “Proven to Save You Money,” I really mean, “Proven to Save Me Money.” And since I’m the Gaucho Content Wrangler, you might think I’m biased. If that’s what you think, then you’re right. But it’s still true.

Let me tell you what happened.

I was watching Sunday football, which spurred me to remember that it was the last day to use the Stamp I posted for 40% off Lucky Brand Jeans. I’m sorry to say that this discount has obviously ended.

Lucky Brand jeans happen to fit me best. I’m almost always wearing their jeans or shorts. Well, according to my fiancée, I’m always wearing the same pair. I thought buying another might help the cause, but it probably won’t.

Anyway, I found a good pair on sale and was all set to check out my purchase when I thought, “Ohhh, I should see if the GSS has any additional promo codes I can use.”

Sure enough, ninomaravilla had posted one for Free Shipping on Lucky Brand purchases over $75 with the code “9WEARNOW” — which is good until the end of the year. (Holiday gifts?? Hrmm…)

So I added an item to my cart and that’s the exciting story of how I saved $7 on shipping and got 40% off a pair of Lucky Brand jeans.

Now, if you were paying attention to dmadray’s Stick to Your Lists post from Saturday, you might say, “Oh, Doug, you didn’t save anything, really. You’re a fool. You just fell for their game.”

To which I would respond, “Yes. But, I got a pair of Lucky Brand jeans and a cool long-sleeve t-shirt (with eagles on it!) for $84, which is 15 bucks less than the regular retail price of the jeans themselves.”

Now, if you have any sense you might respond by saying, “But that’s exactly what they want you to think! You spent that much on a pair of jeans and a long-sleeve t-shirt?” Again, I will say yes. In my opinion, it’s worth it for a pair of comfortable, quality jeans that stand up to the beating I give them.

More importantly, I did it for science. I did it to prove the efficacy of Gaucho utilization, QEG (Quod Erat Gauchosomething).

You will be able to find this study in a bunch of really important science journals sometime really soon.
