Internet Printer Coupons

The internet has done a lot for the couponer by providing internet coupons. Sometimes there are some great deals to be found using the printed coupons.

An important thing to remember is to NEVER make copies of your coupons. This is illegal and can get you into BIG TIME trouble. Each coupon has it’s own unique validation code so you can point this out to cashiers who are worried that you might have copied the coupons. Each validation code is linked to your specific computer and if the company wants to track you down through your ISP they can. So please realize it is not worth saving a few dollars by copying coupons. People have been prosecuted for this type of fraud. Enough said on that 

There are many sites which provide coupons on a routine basis, such as

www.coupons.com
www.coolsaving.com
www.smartsource.com

Most sites you can print from will only allow you to print TWO coupons per computer. Sometimes this is a sufficient amount or there are times you will want more than two. If this is the case use different computers. At my home we have three computers so I usually am able to print six coupons. You can also ask friends and coworkers to print coupons for you using their computers. Make sure you are not using computers at your place of employment if you feel this will get you in trouble. Again, saving a few dollars is not worth losing a job over.

Sometimes there are coupons that a company will put out to get consumers to try their products. These are usually available on the company’s website to access by the public. If you know there is product you want to buy, you can look at the website and see if there are any coupons. Let’s say you want to buy some Betty Crocker items on sale. You can go to the their website
www.bettycrocker.com
once there you can look to see if there are coupons offered. In the right upper corner there is a link for coupons. Click that link
Betty Crocker Coupons and you will see the coupons available from Betty Crocker.

Duncan Hines is on sale at Albertsons this week. At the Duncan Hines site there are coupons available.

Duncan Hines Carrot Cake $1
Duncan Hines Frosting $.50

There are also coupons which can be sent to you in your email if you have signed up at various websites. Below is a coupon I was sent for Orville Redenbacher popcorn.

Popcorn Coupons

It is a pretty good coupon $1/1 and does not expire until the end of the year so I printed it and am saving it for a sale. You do not know when a printable coupon will no longer be available, so if you really think you will use the coupon, it might be a good idea to print it out when you see it, but then there is the fact that some coupons online have only a short lifespan, 2 weeks to 1 month and when ever you print it starts that time frame, so it is up to you when you decide to print the coupons. I know it is confusing and I am not sure I explained it right, but if you have questions just ask me for clarification.

$2/1 Bertolli Oven Baked Meal



To get 5 $1 coupons from fastfixin.com plus you can sign up for a program to get a FREE item every 10 you buy.

Zantac

Here is a Glade Flameless Candle coupon. It is for Buy One Get One Free (B1G1F)

So that is a brief overview on internet coupons and some to try out!

Thanks for the great info on internet coupons...I've been interested in "couponing" for a long time, but wasn't sure if it'd be worth it. From reading through your blog I definitely think it WOULD be--but how do I get started?? Also, I was wondering...do you get the coupons from the newspaper too?? If SO, how many copies do you need/get?? Any info you could give me would be GREAT!! THANKS! My email address is johnson.adrian1@gmail.com. THANKS! Adrian =D
