Some lovely woman gave me a pretty sweet challenge: “Hey Jen, if we give you $250 to try out TeamBuy.CA, can you shop and share?” Yep, I can do. So I got busy buying stuff. I am good at that.
Now before I share with you my fun loot, I have three important statements to make:
1. Read this and you can potentially win a quick and easy $100 spree on TeamBuy (Which is sort of like winning $500)
2. I don’t work for these people but I did take on this challenge.
3. Unlike the countless dailystopemailingmeF*CK group buying blahblahblahs, TeamBuy has, like, a dozen deals going at once. This means –> extra fun at your leisure! SAVE ON, my friends. SAVE ON!
Now the fun part; wanna see what I hoarded? It’s a pretty zany assortment but I think that I do actually need all of it. Fiiiine, maybe I didn’t need the contour body wrap but hey, I had bucks to spend and this Houdini-like spa service piqued my (p)interest.
