Today I would like to talk about printable coupons. Specifically, what they are, how they can be used, where to find them.
What is a Printable Coupon? Printable coupons are manufacturer and store coupons that you can print off of the web. Most printable coupons can be printed twice per computer. Sometimes you will be asked to load software on to your PC that will allow you to print coupons, but the process is typically quick and painless. This software is required by some sites so that the bar codes will print properly on the coupons.
How can I use printable coupons? Printable coupons can be used just like you use the coupons that you find in your newspaper inserts. If you have ever printed a coupon off of the web, you may notice that some of them say "do not double". It has been my experience that most stores will double these coupons if their store policy is to double coupons up to a certain amount, however this also varies by store. Like coupon insert coupons, some printable coupons are store coupons and others are manufacturer's coupons. Most stores allow you to "stack" or use a store AND a manufacturer's coupon on one product. For example if you print a Target store coupon for Colgate toothpaste, and have a manufacturer's coupon from either the web or a coupon insert, you should be able to use both coupons in on one product. Again, this policy varies by store, so be sure to check with your local stores to better understand their policy.
Where do I find printable coupons? Here are a few of my favorite sites:
couponmom.com
shopathome.com
redplum.com
If you are looking for a specific printable coupon that you can't find anywhere, always check out the manufacturer website. Most sites have a "special offers" or "promotions" page that sometimes contain great printable coupons!
Most coupons can be printed twice per computer and reset on the 1st of the month.
