Coupon Codes

One BIG way to save money when you purchase things online is by using coupon codes. Many people either don’t know enough about coupon codes to bother, or think it’s not worth the time. I can tell you from experience that it IS certainly worth 5 min tops to find a coupon code that could save you a LOT of money. When you are making any purchase through a website, if during the checkout process you see anywhere to enter a promotion code, coupon code, or anything similar, then congratulations, you have the opportunity to save some money on this purchase. If, for example, your buying a book from Barnes and Noble.com just go to google, do a search for “barnes and noble coupon code” and look through what comes up. Then if you think you have a valid code (most sites that list coupon codes, also list an expiration date), enter it into your order page, and it will either show your discount, or tell you the code is not valid (in which case try another one, or better luck next time). Some websites allow you to “stack” coupon codes, although there are less and less of them these days. What I mean by “stacking” coupon codes is some sites will allow you to enter one code, submit it, then if you enter another one if you have it, to get even more money off your purchase.

Just a couple of popular sites that I use when looking for coupon codes are:

RetailMeNot

CouponCabin

but like I said, you also have a decent chance at finding a code just by googling it.
