Tip of the week:

Have you ever noticed the request to complete a survey at the bottom or on the back of your store or fast food receipt? And then promptly ignore it? Take a closer look next time. That 1-2 minutes spent completing the survey frequently leads to a nice discount. Burger King gives you a free Whopper or chicken sandwich with the purchase of a fries & drink. PetSmart gives you $3 off your next visit. What do all of the receipts in your purse or wallet offer?
