Hi- I subscribe to Cook's Illustrated magazine, and I get lots of emails from them promoting their other products. I got one today about their fairly new cookbook called Vegetable's Illustrated, which is 700 pages. They told me if I order it through this link, I can get it for $24.95. I just clicked the link to see how much they would charge me for shipping, and when I did, they gave me a discount code which they applied to my account, and even taking into account they were charging me for shipping, the whole bill came to $11.14. Plus I get a free 30 day trial of their all access to their website when I enter in the code. I don't know why they did not charge me for sales tax. I thought they had to in Illinois now.
It was strange because when they asked me if I wanted to continue shopping and I clicked it on, my cart showed as empty. When I checked my email though, I got an email from them thanking me for my purchase, and so it must have gone through. The code they applied was BE19063NA Hope this helps, Nancy
