The Best Coupon Sites to Help You Save

I used to think the Sunday paper was our only option to clipping coupons and saving money. Oh my, has that changed!

Technology has made it possible for us to get coupons by email, phone, and reward cards. Weekly ads are now completely online as well, including future circulars!

It’s definitely more convenient, not to mention less paper waste. And if I still want to print a bunch of coupons, I have the option to only print ones I’m actually going to use. What’s not to love?

The following links are a compilation of best coupon sites I’ve found, and many of them have become my absolute favorites. Get your bookmark tool ready, ’cause we’re about to save a bunch!

1. Printable coupons

I try to check at least one or two of these sites before each and every grocery shopping trip. You may notice that many carry the same kinds of coupons, but use that to your advantage and print off more than one.

• Coupons.com - Has the best collection of coupons to print, plus an option to save coupons to participating loyalty cards. Check back, and check often…new items are added each week!

• Redplum - A different set of coupons, can change based on location.

• SmartSource - Yet another set of coupons, changes on location, and has the option to send coupons to a Cellfire account. <– See below

• Betty Crocker - Clip coupons from the front page, and sign up for the newsletter to receive exclusive offers and yummy recipes.

• Staples - Offers FREE after rebate coupons, percent offs, and dollar amounts off a specific purchase price. {Ex. $5 off $30}

• Target - Store coupons that can be combined with manufacturer’s coupons for maximum savings, or, if you live in the South, they can be used at Publix. {If considered a competitor}

I would also look for your favorite companies and brands on Facebook. Most of the time, they will offer a high value coupon in exchange for a “like”.

2. E-Coupons

With e-coupons, you can download apps onto your smart phone and use it right in the checkout lane. No more worries about losing paper coupons…..ahem.

General e-coupons:

• Cellfire - Save coupons to participating loyalty cards, or download the Cellfire app to scan at the checkout register. Savings will come off immediately.

• Saving Star - Send e-coupons to participating loyalty cards, then scan at the register. Receipt total will not change, but savings will be sent via Paypal, bank deposit, or Amazon gift card within the month.

Craft store apps with coupons: 

• Michaels | Joanns | Download the app and show coupon to cashier when checking out. 

Even though your store may not be listed here, they still may have an app or coupon program available. I would definitely check before you shop. 

3. Coupon codes

I never buy anything online without first typing the website into a coupon code database. Even if I can’t find any promo or coupon codes listed, I’ll often do a Google search just to make sure I’m not missing anything!

• Retailmenot - Includes daily top coupon codes, plus free shipping and printable coupons. 

• Coupon Mountain - Search for coupon codes or download the browser extension for Chrome. Best codes will automatically be applied at checkout.

• CouponCodes.com – All coupon codes on the site are hand-verified, meaning you shouldn’t get stuck with a code that doesn’t work.

• FreeShipping.org - A one stop shop for all FREE shipping offers.
