My tips on coupon codes.  Before purchasing anything online from any store before to search for that store online by using the key words “_____ coupon code”.

Now wait…..don’t hit checkout yet!

Go through an online rebate site if shopping online.  My favorite online sites that I use that I always check to see who has the biggest cash rewards are:

Ebates
Shop at Home
Mr. Rebates

If for some reason none of those sites have a cash back advantage to the store you are shopping, then I recommend going through a site like MyPoints.  Mypoints is a website where you earn points for shopping, searching, and doing special offers.  Then you can redeem those points for gift cards to places of your choice.

Not Shopping Online

Plan your trip before you leave the house.  Then search for coupons to each store you plan on visiting.  Sometimes, I just ask the cashier if there are any coupons out.  They are usually helpful and if they have an extra ad, they are sometimes willing to share!
