Do you often use coupons and promo codes when you shop online?

[LovingCouponGirl]

I'm a frugal girl and I like to collect all kinds of money-saving tips. My friends told me that shopping online with free coupons and promo codes is a good way to save. I tried several times and did save some. I want to know if all of you will use coupons when shopping online.

As a rule, I will Google the store I'm ordering from beforehand to find out if there are coupons available.

I try, although not always successfully.
Is this useful to you? Wouldn't you rather ask what the best online coupons are?

[Anonymous]

Yes. Google the site name and coupon code, takes 10 seconds

[Anonymous]

Yes, I always check retailmenot before I check out.

of course. An I always use ebates to click through for cash back on my purchase. So easy.

Ebates will sometimes have their own coupons, you do need to click through those specific links not just ebates in general.

I saved $5 off a nerf gun at target, used it on two orders so $10 total. Also, got the cash back as well.

This. Why would you not try it?

I use coupons / promo codes from google, browse and sign up on the email list and then don't buy - a coupon will often come in your email. I also do almost all of my online shopping through MyPoints and get points for gift cards.

I definitely google and hit retailmenot. I'll sign up for company emails for an extra 10+% off. I need to investigate this ebates thing.

is using ebates better than amazon prime

I will pretty much only use codes to buy online- and most of is for free shipping, otherwise why shop online? rebates from Ebates is fine, too, but I'm all about Upromise- I've gotten major $$ in rebates by going through them.

[Anonymous]

All the time.

I use MyPoints and Swagbucks for shopping also and sometimes ebates and big crumbs.

I always check the internet for coupon codes and usually find them. I also wait to order things until I know I will reach the minimum for free shipping on certain sites.

I just ordered a TON of client gifts online and had to pay shipping for most of them, which is making me sick. Not my money, so who cares really, but still...
