I've been checking for coupons, especially for the past week or so...?
It is a disappointment to not have the coupons closer to the beginning of the month. Many of us know the trends of our favorite designers, and there have been some nice sales due to DSD, but we could have used coupons to plan our shopping better.
Coupons encourage people to buy designs, and when those items are used in layouts, people see the designs used and are more likely to buy them--it's a cycle that extends well beyond one person initially using a single coupon. Delaying the release of coupons is a disservice not only to the subscribers here, but also to the designers who benefit from the sale of their products. If some designers are lax in their submission of coupon codes, why not at least display the ones who have?
