How to Save Money with Online Printable Coupons

As the price of everything from gas to groceries increases, you may be looking for new ways to trim your monthly bills. Many shoppers are now returning to one of the most traditional ways to save at the grocery store - coupons. However, this standard way of saving money at the grocery store has recently been updated and brought to where you are spending more time. Coupons have moved online.
Printable coupons on the Internet frequently provide higher value savings than the traditional coupons that are found in the Sunday newspaper. They are also more convenient and make it easier to find coupons for items that you regularly buy. Just follow these easy instructions for using printable coupons, and you will see a noticeable decrease in your weekly shopping bill.

Select a coupon destination site of your choice. For good, reputable sites, try afullcup.com, coupons.com, sundaycouponpreview.com, and redplum.com.

2Visit the coupon site to browse the available coupons before you go shopping.

3Select the coupons that you will use at the store.

4Click on the “print” button. Wait for the coupons to come out of your printer.

If you’ve never printed coupons before, the website will ask you to install the coupon printer software (you only have to do this once). Follow the steps until the software is installed.

5Take your coupons to the store with you. You can even use the printed coupons as a shopping list while you stroll through the aisles. Don't be surprised when you find most retailers do not take internet coupons.

Tips

Coupon destination sites are not the only places to find coupons on the Internet. If you are looking for a specific product, you should also check the brand’s website or Facebook page for printable coupons.
Nearly all retailers accept legitimate printable coupons, as long as they scan properly and don’t appear to be copies or altered in some way. If a store won’t take your coupon, ask the checker to scan your coupon. Printable coupons have bar codes that scan just like the coupons that come in the newspaper. If this doesn’t convince the checker, speak to the store manager and refer him or her to the Retailer Resources website that is printed on most coupons and contact the store’s corporate headquarters. Sometimes local stores are not aware of their corporate policy to accept printable coupons.
Consider having an alternate email address for when you sign up for coupons. Otherwise, you may find yourself inundated with junk mail. You can also create filters and set aside a folder for the companies that send you email.
