Four Sites With Money-Saving Online Coupons

If ever there was a time for watching your money, it’s now.
The economy is shaky, and people everywhere are cutting back on their spending. If you’re one of them, you may be looking for ways to save money on your holiday shopping this year.
You can do that easier than you think. There are lots of sites online where you can find coupons and discount codes that will save you money on your purchases. Here are a few that I like.
RetailMeNot.com . At this site you can search for deals by entering a keyword or a store’s name. Or, you can simply browse the list of categories till you find what you want. You’ll see coupons for computers, clothing, sporting goods, jewelry, software, travel, games, electronics, and much more. There’s a list of popular coupons on the home page, too. When you find a coupon that looks interesting, you can click on it and go right to the store’s Web site, where you can get your discount when you order the product. The coupons are rated by RetailMeNot’s users, so you can see which are the best and most reliable ones.
Coupon Mountain . Search for a store, a product, or a brand, or browse the list of Top Discounts. There are also lists of new coupons and expiring coupons. There are forums where users trade information about coupons, discounts, rebates, and other deals. You can also submit a link to an online deal, or request a deal. In this latter case you fill in a form with the deal you’re looking for, and the staff will try to find a deal for you.
Coupon Looker . This is a simple, no-frills site, but it can still save you money. Just type in a keyword for the product you’re looking for, and Coupon Looker will give you a list of coupons. You can also rate the coupons for their value to you, so future users will be able to target their searches better.
Dealio . This site says it helps you to compare prices on 30 million products, so odds are you’ll find deals on just about everything here. This another site where users can rate the coupon (“thumbs up or thumbs down”), so you can get an idea of whether or not it will be useful to you. Click on “Coupons & Deals” to see a list of the top deals for the last 30 days. You can also post a coupon or deal, and create Wish Lists that you can share with others.
These are just a few of the hundreds of Web sites that offer coupons or deals for online purchases. Explore them, and you’re bound to find ways to save money this holiday season. Actually, it’s a good idea to bookmark sites like these for 2009 and beyond, because saving money never goes out of style!
