Printing coupons saves time, money

Last time we covered the great website that is www.coupons.com. This time I’m going to expand on where to get Internet printable coupons.

The main sources for Internet Printable coupons, especially for coupon blogs for their weekly deal match-ups, are actually pretty easy to cover. These are the sites that you will see appear again and again on the deal blogs for coupon match-ups. The big four big websites to cover for weekly coupon deals are…

www.coupons.com

After my last article you probably have already been there.

www.smartsource.com

Made by the same people, who put out the weekly “Smart Source” insert in the paper, smartsource.com many times has more coupons on it than actually come in our local papers. You can only print coupons twice and then they “disappear” from the list of coupons you can print, unlike Coupons.com that shows your “print limit has been reached”.

www.redplum.com

You will want to go to the “grocery” section if it doesn’t put you there automatically. Then input your ZIP Code and it will bring up a list of coupons to choose from. You can only print each coupon twice, although it doesn’t show that on the site. And be careful because once you print a coupon twice, if you try to print it again along with other coupons, Redplum won’t let you print anything at all. It will just come up with an “error” message in your print screen and tell you your limit has been reached on a certain coupon. Just go back to the site, click off the coupon that your print limit was reached on and try to print the other coupons again. It should work this time.

www.target.com

Target coupons are only available online for the most part. Once in a while they will release some Target coupons in the newspaper, but not often. So we rely on the Internet to get Target coupons (which can be used with manufacturer coupons to get great deals). Just go down to the bottom of the main page and click on the “grocery coupon” link. You can print the coupons as many times as you want to get great deals. You will see some coupons marked “Super Target Coupon.” Super Target coupons are accepted at Target, so long as Target carries the item.

There are sites on the Internet that provide “Coupon Generators” for Target coupons. These services started because Target.com tends to put coupons up for a short period of time in some cases. These sites will collect the coupons and compile them into a list for you to print until the coupons expire (then they are taken down). Once again you can print the coupons as many times as you want. It’s a very convenient way to print Target coupons. Most deal/coupon blogs use this service.
