Surfing The Web For Savings: Coupon Websites

By Linda Polansky

Are you a coupon clipper who wants to enter the 21st century of savings technology? There are many different ways to save on the web, from simple printable coupons to services that alert you to sales and specials. There are a couple of things to keep in mind for any sites. First, be aware that some stores will not accept any internet coupons because they can be difficult to authenticate; check with your favorite merchants before you start printing. Also, pay close attention to which fields are required when you are registering on different websites. You may be able to skip a lot of information, or go back later and refine your profile if the site is not working the way you would like. Here are a couple of the most popular coupon sites, and what you will find when you go there.



Coolsavings.com has many different services, from coupons to free offers to newsletters with savings tips. If you are on your way out the door and want to log on for a couple of minutes to find something quickly, this is not the site for you. First, you have to enroll. The enrollment process includes entering your contact information, such as address and email, and establishing a password. After that you are given two screens full of free offers that you check or uncheck according to your interests before you can even complete the enrollment process. Then you come to the remainder of the enrollment form and answer questions about your background and interests. This is great if you want them to find coupons and savings for you, but if you know what you are looking for and exactly what you want, this site probably will be too cumbersome for you. You can bypass some of the enrollment information, but it still will take you a while to get to the point where you can select coupons for printing. When you do get there, it will bring up specific offers. There isn’t any search feature for you to look for your favorite brands or narrow things down on your own.



Eversave.com is a similar site. You will be required to enroll to access offers, but it is a shorter process. It will give you a couple of pages of free offers as well, but the descriptions are smaller and easier to browse through quickly and get to the section where the coupons are. Many of the free offers on the first pages are the same as the ones found on http://coolsavings.com, so one timesaver could be to browse several services until you find the one that is set up in a way that is most user friendly for you, then cancel your registration at the others to avoid an inbox stuffed with repetitive emails.



There are plenty of other sites out there too, just put coupons in your search engine and click your way to savings.
