Victoria’s Secret FREE Undies…If you are a frequent shopper at VS and have purchased something there by credit card, you are probably already on “the list.” But, if not, call them at 1.800.411.5116 and tell them you want to receive their catalog. Or visit a store and have a cashier add your mailing address to their files. Pretty soon, in addition to the catalogs, you will start receiving special coupons and promotions including coupons for FREE undies. And no purchase is required! I swear I get these coupons about every month to month and a half. I get so many, I forget to use them. But, I tell you one thing, I have a very full underwear drawer compliments of VS. ;)
