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]

You're welcome, next time you feel like wasting money, Google a coupon code and ship me your savings. I'd appreciate it.

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.

Exactly, each of us researches (or at least should) the best rakeback deal before joining any site. Why not carry that attitude to everyday purchases? It's like being paid to Google. Once you've narrowed down what you are buying and where you are buying it from, it's not a bad idea to see if you can find an additional discount. One minute of your life researching can save you $5 or it can save you hundreds.
