Online Coupons

I didn't really mention online coupons when I talked about Couponing 101, so I will do it here.
Most manufacturers offer online printable coupons these days. You can usually print out around 2 copies per coupon.

Here are some of my favorite place to visit for online coupons:
Coupons.com
Redplum
Smart Source
Kellogg's
Betty Crocker
Pillsbury
Campbell's Kitchen
Right at Home (they don't always have coupons, but sometimes they do have good ones)
Target Coupons - some are Target Q's (meaning you can combine them with a MQ) and others are MQs


There are many more out there, so do a search for your favorite brand, and see what you can find!

One of my go-to favorites is A Full Cup Coupon Search - Printables
There you can do a search for your favorite brand and they will direct you to where you can print the coupon! It's not 100% accurate, sometimes a particular coupon is no longer available, etc. but overall it has been invaluable to me and one of my favorite sites.

Some tips:
1) Make sure you plan on using the coupon, or you will waste printer ink & paper!
2) You should have an option to set your printer to "economical." If you can, do this because it will save a lot of ink.
3) Some of the websites have you put in a zipcode. Try yours, but also try some other zipcodes (think 90210, etc.) Different parts of the country often might have better valued coupons than your zipcode - and yes, you can print them too!
