Here’s a change of pace: I’m going to share a few coupon deals I’ve found lately.
I’ve always been a coupon clipper, but just recently have turned to the internet. Some useful websites I found include:
Both of these have regular coupon circulars in the Sunday paper and offer easy searching and printing for their websites. They’re also trustworthy sources that don’t ask you to disclose all your personal information.
For more specialized coupons, however, I’ve found turning to the manufacturer’s site is often a great start. Usually you have to join a mailing list (which you can later unsubscribe to) in order to receive the free offer. I recommend setting up a G-Mail, Hotmail, or other free account specifically for this purpose. Once you’re on their mailing list, manufacturers will generally email you promotional messages on a regular basis. Many of these contain additional coupons and offers. However, you probably don’t want this stuff clogging up your main inbox. Save the “e-coupon-clipping” and sorting for a rainy day.
Anyway, here are a couple samples of deals I’ve found lately:
- $1.00 off any Applegate Farms organic/natural meat product. http://www.applegatefarms.com/
- $1.50 off any Kashi TLC snack or cereal. http://www.kashi.com/
- $0.75 off any half-gallon of Silk soymilk. http://www.silkissoy.com
Many retailers and even some restaurants also offer coupon deals (through their email lists):
- Borders Rewards offers all kinds of coupons on books, music, and other media. Occasionally, there’s even an offer for a beverage or pasty at the Seattle’s Best Café in most Borders locations! http://www.borders.com/
- Kohl’s gives you a $5.00 store voucher just for your email address. They can, however, become a bit of a nuisance with near daily reminders to shop the latest and greatest sale. Whether or not you unsubscribe, the $5.00 is yours to spend. http://www.kohls.com/
- Bed Bath & Beyond offers its ubiquitous 20% off one item coupon for your email address. http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/
- Depending on the current offer, join TGI Friday's affinity club, and you'll get a free appetizer or possibly even better. https://www.tgifridays.com/gmms/GiveMeMoreStripes.aspx
When all else fails try searching _________ coupons (insert product, manufacturer’s name, etc). Look among the search results for the manufacturer’s website, as this tends to be the most reliable source.
I’m sure there are plenty more good e-deals out there, as I read about them all the time, but until now have paid little attention. I’m just getting in on this new world of web couponing, but it’s quite fun. If this keeps up, I probably should start looking for ink cartridge coupons next for my printer…
