Couponing in the 21st century is much more than clipping from newspapers and magazines. As a society we have transitioned into the digital age and so have our coupons. Today you can still find tons of coupons in newspapers and magazines, but there are so many more avenues. Websites such as coupons.com, redplum.com, and smartsource.com all provide free printable manufacture coupons.
Additionally social networking websites such as facebook or twitter have allowed manufactures to jump on the band wagon and promote their products via this avenue as well. Many times on these sites you will find product manufactures (as well as restaurant chains) offering product coupons, discount codes to use with online shopping purchases and even free samples!
Furthermore there are also coupons available that are simply virtual coupons. Websites like Upromise.com and cellfire.com allow you to load coupons directly onto your store bonus cards. Target even sends out text messages containing a bar code holding 5 or more coupons which can be scan directly from the screen on your smart phone.
With the vast array of coupons available and avenues in which to acquire them it is easier than ever before to take advantage of coupon discounts. Despite our hectic lifestyles and lack of free time, we are able to save more money with minimal effort.
Thankfully, in our new age of couponing, your savings don't have to stop at grocery, personal and cleaning items. Planning a date night out for dinner and the movies? Many restaurants offer coupons via e-newsletters to help save on your meal, other sites like restaurant.com offer gift certificates to specific restaurants in your area for pennies on the dollar. Regal Cinemas offers coupons for free popcorn every Friday on their facebook page. The entertainment savings go on and on and are as vast and readily available as grocery coupons are. All you have to do is search!
