Money Saving Tip - Googling Coupon/Promo Codes
This is probably a LDO situation, but I just want to help out all the Googly Challenged out there. Whenever you are on a site ordering something and there's a section for coupon or promo codes, Google for one! I just ordered a CafePress T-Shirt, and saved $5 with 10 seconds worth of work. Basically my shipping was now free.
Other recent occasions I've saved by doing something so simple: - TurboTax Online - I forget how much, but I saved a few bucks when I did my taxes. - GoDaddy.com - I registered about a dozen sites recently and saved something like 10%. There's more I can't think of right now. Anybody else have some stories of recent purchases that you saved some dough through a quick Google for a code? |

I always get reminded about their coupons when I use Google Maps, but then I never think to check for a coupon before I purchase anything. Thanks for reminding me that I waste money. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I forgot to add that there will be a few times where a code doesn't work, but luckily the sites do nothing to stop you from trying everyone you can find until you get one.
Oh yeah, another big one is Dell. I've saved a ton with coupon codes there, but I usually keep my eye on a coupon code site (gotapex.com is my usual for Dell stuff) for an appropriate coupon code to come along before I make a purchase. That site has saved me hundreds on stuff I was going to buy from Dell anyway. |

Another good place to find coupons and get cash back is http://www.extrabux.com
Definitely worth a few minutes time, espcecially with things like dell. With everyone living and dieing by rakeback, its surprising more people don't utilize these type of sites. free money. |

just found out you can buy tons of one-time use coupons for sites like staples.com on ebay. I bought a 50 off 200 coupon today for 6 bucks.

proflowers.com always has good coupon codes, as do the majority of apparel sites; j. crew comes to mind.
you should also google coupons before you go to eat somewhere chain-y or local. |

Yeah, I always do this. Just type "xyz coupon code" in Google and you get a list of 100 sites with codes. Also, I always buy coupons from eBay for a buck or two that end up saving me much more (Circuity City $40 off $199, stuff like that).
