By now your inboxes are surely full with messages about deals, sales, and otherwise discounted fare — but one of the things we love about podcasts is that they're accessibly priced. You can find shows covering every niche shopping topic (have we mentioned Retail Nightmares before?), and the only cost to you is clicking a button and plugging in your earbuds.
As you spend away this weekend, let the dulcet tones of our members help whisk you through the door-crasher melee with these all-new playlists.
The “subscribe” button on any of the Listen Notes playlists will let you grab a playlist for your podcatcher. Sample the shows below, or check out the full week’s roundup on Spotify.
