Old Navy Weekly

So, here it is...the truth.

I am an Old Navy Weekly addict. You may be one yourself, or know someone who is. The person who won't go out or take phone calls on Thursdays. The tell tale dark circles and yawning on Friday. Tweeting and commenting to plastic people (the supermodelquins) on Facebook.

Cute clothes, constantly revolving selection, fab jeans and great prices. Clothes and accessories for women, men, children and even your pooch! What's not to love?

The actual addiction has been to Old Navy Weekly, a separate site dedicated to weekly coupon hunting and advertising the companies Item of the Week, or the IOTW to those in the know.

How many stores offer the chance to win a coupon worth up to $75 off your purchase of $100 each week?! Granted, the good old days of $75 coupons are gone, replaced by the still wonderful $50 off your purchase of $100. Discounts of various amounts are also available on the site each week, but not for long!

As of April 1, Old Navy will be retiring the oldnavyweekly.com website and they say the deals will then come to you. Can't wait to find out how the next promotion will work...but I have to say, while it lasted (just over one year) it was great fun, so thanks Old Navy. You've gained new and loyal customers who enjoyed the weekly hunt, even if it made us a little crazy at times! Don't let us down with the new promos, we are anxiously awaiting!
