The Family Christian Store (Review & Giveaway)

My BFF sent me a message and asked if Sassy Pants and I would like to join her and her daughter for a Christian concert at the end of September. Our answer was a wholehearted, “YES!” especially when we saw that Toby Mac was the headliner.

The kicker, however, was that we really didn’t know the music of the other performers. We decided we really needed to get ourselves educated so we could enjoy what we heard next month.

I received a $25 coupon to The Family Christian Store, and it was the perfect opportunity to use their Buy One Get One 50% off deal.

Using The Family Christian Store’s website was really easy. One of the most important elements of my experience was that I wasn’t required to sign up for an account and could check out as a guest. I was also able to uncheck the box that would mean I’d receive email newsletters. I don’t mind them, but I did appreciate that I was given the option.

One point of interest from using the site was that I needed to insert my gift certificate code on the Shopping Cart page. It wasn’t until I reached the payment page that I realized I’d failed to insert that code. Because of that, I had to start my checkout experience all over.

Sassy Pants and I are excited to receive our new CDs and get to know the music we’ll be hearing in person.
