How to get free online coupons and use them to the best advantage. Using coupons for things that you use every day is a great way to save money. When you can get these coupons for free it is even better! There are quite a few methods of getting coupons that you will use.
1. Online sites. You can find many online sites that let you print coupons for free right from the site, right there on your printer. You can find these with a simple google search on “printable coupons”. Many sites do have a limit of 2 of each coupon that you can print from one computer, however their selection often changes weekly.
2. Manufacturer sites. You can visit a product site, lets say for shampoo that you like. Google the name of the shampoo and visit the site. Often they have a section for offers and promotions that will offer a printable coupon. If they do not, it is always okay to go to their “contact us” section and send them an email. This will often either get you coupons emailed directly to you, or sent in the mail to you. Most manufacturer sites will let you request coupons and samples every 3 or 4 months, so save the sites, and go back often for more coupons!
3. Store sites. Many stores, such as Walgreens and Target, have coupons available right on their site. Some of these are manufacturer coupons that can be used at any store, and others are store coupons, good to be used only at that particular store. Remember to check these often, again the selection normally changes weekly. Also remember to stack your coupons, using both a manufacturer coupon with a store coupon, to make the most of your money!
4. Partner sites. You can sign up at some “partner sites” such as couponcabin.com. They will send you a weekly, daily, or monthly email with the latest printable coupon links. You simply click on the link and print out what you would like. Again, check these often as your coupon selections change. Don’t forget sites like mypoints.com that offer coupons to print, PLUS you will earn points on their site for printing and using these coupons every month. Not only do you get valuable coupons for free, but you can earn points towards gift cards on the site as well.
5. Coupon swaps and trains. You can find many sites, such as cafemom.com, that offer coupon swapping groups that are free. If you do get coupons that you will not use, there is most likely someone that will be able to use them. Swap what you won’t use for ones that you will. This is an easy way to get more for your money as well.
6. Freecycle or Craigslist. Check these sites, many people will offer what coupons they are not using from their sunday paper or other outlets. You can get many valuable coupons this way, and again, trade those that you won’t use.
7. Clubs. Dont forget that you often get coupons for signing up for emails at your favorite restaurants and stores, and for joining frequent shoppers clubs as well.
These tips will help you stock up on coupons, trade for what you need, and get the most of your free coupons. Don’t forget to make the most of your money, print your coupons from home on recycled paper (on the back of something else) or to flip your paper and print one on the bottom of the other. This will also save you money on paper as well! I hope that these hints helped to get you more money saving coupons, for nothing!
To use the coupons to the best of your advantage, you must take your weekly sales fliers and match up coupons to sale prices. Don’t forget to use store coupons and manufacturer coupons for the same product (use 2 coupons for 1 item) to maximize your savings. There are many blogs on sites that have sales and matched up coupons posted, sometimes even links to printable coupons right there! The easiest way to make the most of your coupons is to clip what you will use, and clip as many of them as you can find. If you find a good sale, use as many coupons as you can with the sale price. Stocking up on items when on sale and when you have a coupon for the item will help you make the most of your coupon clipping!
