Where can you find coupons online?
Several of the newspaper inserts also have websites where you can get coupons. Typically, the coupons available are about $0.25 more valuable than those in the paper but not all coupons from the newspaper appear on the websites. These sites also have exclusive coupons which you will not see in the newspaper.
These websites include SmartSource.com and RedPlum.com. Remember that coupons vary by region and you can enter different zip codes and find different coupons.
You can also find great coupons at Coupons.com. The coupons renew or drop monthly so always check in at the end and beginning of the month.
Other places to find coupons is at store websites like CVS.com, Target.com, and RiteAid.com. While many of these are store coupons that have to be used in their store (or at Publix), several are manufacturer’s coupons that can be used anywhere despite the store logo.
Also, add All You’s website because they offer many online exclusive coupons that you will not find anywhere else.
If I have a grocery list with items missing coupons and I have exhausted my other resources, I will do a search for the manufacturer’s website to see if they have coupons available directly. You can also browse the list set up by The Krazy Coupon Lady HERE. She has many coupons listed from Bricks, and these are often linked directly from the manufacturer’s site.
If you have items on your stockpile list that you purchase frequently and you struggle to find the matching coupons, consider Ebay.
The blogs linked on the left sidebar also offer great coupon links with their store ad matchup listings.
When printing online coupons, it will be necessary to download coupon software. Each computer has an “address” and the software keeps you from abusing the coupons, limiting you to a certain number of prints. Typically, you are allowed to print two coupons of each type. You can print multiple coupons by using the back button on your browser or the backspace button on your keyboard. Always print until it says that no more are allowed. If it tells you that you have no prints available but you have never printed those coupons, then the offer has “capped” meaning that the manufacturer put a limit on the total number of prints.
Reputable companies (like those mentioned) supply coupon software free of computer viruses. If you are surfing around and come across a company you are unfamiliar with, BE CAREFUL!
Printing coupons can eat a lot of your ink, but you can save ink by changing your printer’s default settings to “fast draft.” You can go to your printer setting and click on preferences to find this.
It can also take a lot of paper. Consider using paper scraps from coupons for kid’s coloring, shopping lists or RECYCLE! I do not recommend trying to flip the paper and printing on the other side since once in a while, a coupon will print in the middle or bottom of the page. I have lost a few coupons trying this out for myself.
