Blogger-up: The Recessionista joins forces with RetailMeNot to attend BlogHer

What becomes The Recessionista most? Well it’s not a Blackglama Mink coat, it’s a ticket to the Blogher conference! Since I am addicted to blogging, and not paying retail, it’s only fitting that I am joining forces with the fabuless coupon code site Retailmenot.com to attend Blogher 2010.  I am chuffed to tell you all that I was chosen as one of 10 bloggers to be a Retail Me Not BlogHer delegate!  This means that RetailMeNot is paying my conference fee to BlogHer.

Did you know that women are the biggest users of social media and they are the most dedicated Bloggers? Because of this, the women’s blogging conference called BlogHer was born. For those seeking great deals on fashion, social media is even more important. Frequently stores with the best prices don’t pay money to advertise. The cost of advertising would not allow them to keep their  prices low.  Social Media and Word of Mouth become an important way to get the news of super savings out. 

This year’s conference is being held in New York in August.   The conference offers great sessions, and a wealth of information to help us expand our networks and become better bloggers. We all know that New York is a pricey city. I’ll still be covering hotel and meals, and scrapping frequent flyer miles together for a ticket, but help with obtaining a conference pass free of charge is amazing.  Remember bargain shoppers, always look for a coupon code from RetailMeNot before you hit the buy button.  RetailMeNot features coupon codes from over 50,000 merchants.    There are coupons for groceries, fashion, electronics and more.  I have also featured the site under my The Recessionista’s Top Picks column on the right.  It’s good stuff, and it’s free.

Ten Fabuless Bloggers have been sponsored by RetailMeNot. This is like a Femme Force 10 from Navarone . We are going to band together to take BlogHer by storm.  These ladies have great blogs that are savvy and full of savings.  Check them out:
