The Best Coupon Sites to Help You Save

I used to think the Sunday paper was our only option to clipping coupons and saving money. Oh my, has that changed!

Technology has made it possible for us to get coupons by email, phone, and reward cards. Weekly ads are now completely online as well, including future circulars!

It's definitely more convenient, not to mention less paper waste. And if I still want to print a bunch of coupons, I have the option to only print ones I'm actually going to use. What's not to love?

The following links are a compilation of best coupon sites I've found, and many of them have become my absolute favorites. Get your bookmark tool ready, 'cause we're about to save a bunch!

1. Printable coupons

I try to check at least one or two of these sites before each and every grocery shopping trip. You may notice that many carry the same kinds of coupons, but use that to your advantage and print off more than one.

Printable Coupons | Best Coupon Sites

    • Coupons.com – Has the best collection of coupons to print, plus an option to save coupons to participating loyalty cards. Check back, and check often…new items are added each week!
    • Redplum – A different set of coupons, can change based on location.
    • SmartSource – Yet another set of coupons, changes on location, and has the option to send coupons to a Cellfire account. <– {See below}
    • Betty Crocker – Clip coupons from the front page, and sign up for the newsletter to receive exclusive offers and yummy recipes.
    • Target – Store coupons that can be combined with manufacturer's coupons for maximum savings, or, if you live in the South, they can be used at Publix. {If considered a competitor}

I would also look for your favorite companies and brands on Facebook. Most of the time, they will offer a high value coupon in exchange for a “like”.

2. E-Coupons

With e-coupons, you can download apps onto your smart phone and use it right in the checkout lane. No more worries about losing paper coupons…..ahem.

General e-coupons:

  • Cellfire – Save coupons to participating loyalty cards, or download the Cellfire app to scan at the checkout register. Savings will come off immediately.
  • Saving Star – Send e-coupons to participating loyalty cards, then scan at the register. Receipt total will not change, but savings will be sent via Paypal, bank deposit, or Amazon gift card within the month.

Store e-coupons:

    • Kroger – Load coupons directly onto your loyalty card. Cannot be combined with manufacturer's coupons.
    • Winndixie – Load coupons directly onto your loyalty card. View loaded, redeemed, and expired coupons within your account. Cannot be combined with manufacturer's coupons.
    • Publix – Register to view coupons on your smartphone, then have cashier use your phone number to redeem.
    • Price Chopper – Load both manufacturer's coupons and store coupons onto your Advantage card.

Craft store apps with coupons: 

Even though your store may not be listed here, they still may have an app or coupon program available. I would definitely check before you shop. 

3. Coupon codes

I never buy anything online without first typing the website into a coupon code database. Even if I can't find any promo or coupon codes listed, I'll often do a Google search just to make sure I'm not missing anything!

Coupon Codes | Best Coupon Sites

    • Retailmenot – Includes daily top coupon codes, plus free shipping and printable coupons. 
    • CouponCodes.com – All coupon codes on the site are hand-verified, meaning you shouldn't get stuck with a code that doesn't work.

Though not technically classified as coupon code sites, you might as well earn a little cash back with Rakutan or MyPoints if you're already shopping online.

4. Coupon blogs

Obviously, there are hundreds of deal blogs on the web, and many cover the same kinds of deals. This list is of the ones I personally visit.

Coupon Blogs | Best Coupon Sites

    • Money Saving Mom – My favorite! This blog has the most extensive list I've seen, plus access to a really thorough coupon database. You also have the option to subscribe to deals from your local stores – there are hundreds listed.
    • Passionate Penny Pincher – Covers Publix stores, plus drugstore match-ups. Also highlights what you can get for FREE every week.

Other sites mentioned by readers on Facebook:

If you'd like to find a local blogger who does deals for your area, Google “local blogger” with your city and state.

5. Group coupons

Note: These are not good deals if you don't plan to use them, so make sure you have a plan before you buy!

Group Coupons | Best Coupon Sites

    • Groupon – Save up to 90% on things to do, see, and eat. One featured deal per day, plus access to many other deals. Groupon Coupons is also another great new way to save at Groupon, and lists over 55,000 coupons from more than 8,000 stores, all completely free! Top stores right now include Nordstrom, Walgreens and Shutterfly, but be sure to check back often as they are always adding more. 
    • Living Social – try something new for a rock-bottom price, share your deal, and if 3 people sign up, it's FREE for you!

One thing you will notice, is that the more you clip, print, and search for deals, the more likely you are to save.

However, do not feel like you need to follow every single coupon site that exists. It's not necessarily. Pick only a few favorites, and bookmark them for quick reference on an internet toolbar.

What coupon sites would you add to this list?

    Southernsavers.com is great. It has tips on how to coupon, printables, and weekly blogs on the ad savings for both regional stores and national stores.

    If you’re signed up for SwagBucks (and you totally should be), you can get 10 swagbucks per coupon printed and redeemed. They’re the exact same coupons as coupons.com! I just got 70 swagbucks in my account today from coupons.

      Swagbucks are digital points that you earn for doing internet searches, shopping online, watching videos, or taking the daily poll. Once they add up you can get some pretty sweet gift cards!

    After using your coupons, you can download Ibotta and Checkout 51 (apps) which give you rebates when you shop. Checkout 51 has fewer rebates but no store restrictions. Ibotta has a ton of rebates, you can work in team challenges (with your friends on Facebook), and it’s not just grocery items – they have deals for best buy, gnc, movie tickets, online stores, etc.

      I have briefly checked into Ibotta, but haven’t taken the time to really figure it out yet. I’m looking forward to it though! Thanks so much for sharing these additional ways to save!

    Being a veteran this company seems to be headed in the right direction my wife uses this one frequently. They also are partnering with some brands to offer in deeper savings.

    Being in southern California I love southerncalisaver.com Josiebreaks down the local deals for you.
    An app I’m absolutely addicted to its shopkicks. You earn kicks for walking into stores and scanning products and them redeem the kicks for gift cards. And it’s free :0) http://get.shopkick.com/helium2521

      I need to try Shopkicks again — I played with it a little when the app first came out, but then completely forgot about it. Thank you for reminding me of that one!

    I’m new at this couponing thing, living on SS & SSI you have to cut cost anyway you can to make it. Alot of the sites I have check out are not the greatest and hard to get around in or cost so much to join. How many or about how many of these sites are free to use/join and really work? I’m wanting to get serious about this, but like I said I’m a new born baby at trying.
    While I’m on here can anyone have suggestions for someone like myself just trying to start out?
    I am going to check out some or all the ones posted under my coupon site email which didn’t take me long to learn that one fast. LOL
    Thanks, Sherry
