Those of you who have been around for awhile know I really hate coupons but I will admit if used correctly they can save money and I know many of you find it a challenge to find the best coupons. There are many, many sites which offer free coupons and even free samples. Do a search and you should come up with several options. These are a few I visited this monring so I am not very familiar with them but they merit a look.
Bradsdeals.com and deallocker.com have coupons and links to thousands of deals from everything to food and fashion to appliances.
restaurants.com is exactly that discounts at restaurants.
Shortcuts.com provides grocery coupons. This is a different approach and requires you to be signed up with a participating grocery store but all the deals go into a data base and when you purchase the item at the store and swipe the card the discount shows up automatically. The problem is finding a participating store. There are none in my area.
If you want to print coupons there is smartsource.com and momcoupon.com and many, many more.
Of course there are always the free sample sites such as freeflip.com. Be careful of these as most require you to pay postage which is often more than the item is worth.
The other way to find discounts on line is to go straight to the source. If you are going out to dinner enter the name of the restaurant and then coupon. If there is a coupon available you will find it. I have found several discounts using this method. I always check before we go out to dinner and I always check before I go to purchase fabric or wedding and shower gifts.
As I said I don’t use most of these sites so if some of you have a favorite that works well please share it with us.
thanks !! very helpful post!
