Comments on: Before you click 'buy,' search for coupons

A quick Web search can lead to money-saving coupons for your favorite online stores.

Retailmenot.com also collects promo codes. I'm not sure if I saw that here or another blog.

Retail Me Not (www.retailmenot.com) is also a great source.

And you are right; A search engine (Yahoo, Ask, etc.) is great. Just type in the name of the company/product and the words "discount coupon" and/or "code"

Last year, at Christmas, for my kids peddle car I found both a free shipping, and 20% off coupon. Saved over $60.00.

I also use microsoft's http://search.live.com/cashback/ Not all retailers are on there, but its worth a look

Indeed we should always look for coupons, sales, or discounts before purchasing anything.

We are all trying to make do and get as much as possible for each dollar spent. Lately my family and I have been doing more research before buying anything, and have also done more online shopping and looked harder for better details. We have not stopped spending, however.

One of the online sites we have found to be useful is:
<a href="http://www.uberi.com">http://www.uberi.com</a>

They do have some interesting bargains listed that are not available even on price search engines. We were able to get more for each dollar. Hope that's useful info for some.

Excellent advice. Just looked for coupons for Abe's of Maine and found $15 off. Just like that.

Anyone know of a firefox addon that would let you know while you're checking out (or even browsing) at an online store whether there are any coupons on retailmenot? Seems like a brilliant idea...

[goodmojo]

I agree http://retailmenot.com is a great coupon site. One other site I often use is http://www.searchalldeals.com ... sometimes I check http://www.pricegrabber.com

You have no idea how much I have saved with these sites.

I've used ebates.com before. Not bad. They either have coupons or cash backs from stores.

I like to use MrDealFinder.com to search for coupon codes. Just sayin' :)

So this means you bought your wife a $150 (pre-discount) gift? Good for you.

Heh, I was wondering if anyone would do the math. Yeah, and this after we promised weren't doing gifts this year. I may get in trouble!

Not only does retailmenot.com do the same thing, but they have a firefox plugin that notifies you for every site you visit. It's surprisingly useful and not annoying.
