Recession 101: 5 ways to save money with coupons
If you're like me, you're looking for any and every way to save money this holiday season - especially with the threat of recession looming closer and closer every single day. My favorite way to save money? COUPONS!
It seems as if every time I check out online, I come across that empty coupon code field. I used to feel a left out of a special club when I saw it, but now I know better. Nearly anyone can be a member of these special clubs. How? Search for coupons.
Top 5 ways to save money with coupons:
- Get coupons from A Girl Must Shop.
Our newly launched, fast-growing coupon section provides an endless supply of coupons for all types of stores, both online and off. Just head on over to the AGMS Coupons, click on your site of choice, and just see how many ways you can save.
Get notified when new coupons are added!
Sign up for AGMS Coupons RSS feed or the daily AGMS Coupon digest email and you'll have first dibs on the latest and greatest coupons. - Google for coupons.
The very first place I go (after AGMS Coupons) when looking for a coupon is Google. Just enter the name of the store and "coupons" (e.g. "Macy's coupons") and you'll find thousands of results. Try it now!
Custom Search - Get on the list.
Most online stores encourage users to sign up for their email list. And some of these stores only give coupons to list members. There are often many more benefits to signing up, like a coupon or special offer just for signing up, and advanced notice of new coupons, promotions, sales, and events. - Join frequent buyer and other in-store programs.
You know, the ones that give you a plastic tag for your key chain or card for your wallet. Then scan your badge with every purchase and enjoy your rewards.
Worried about giving out your personal information?
Never fear; just use an "alternate" name/address/dob/etc. and they'll never know the difference. Beware though, you may want to provide some information - you don't want to miss any special coupons delivered via e- and snail mail.
- Clip coupons.
Never underestimate the power of the Sunday newspaper; it contains a large quantity and wide variety of coupons on many types of stores.
What about you? What are your coupon tips?

Keep the coupons coming. I love the ones you share - although I have only taken advantage of one, it's still great to know about. |
