This video slide presentation presents an overview of how to find coupons online. Highlights include performing searches on websites like Google and using social media sites like Twitter to discuss the latest bargains. Also presented in the tutorial are specific sites you might want to consider visiting. -
Introduction
- Why pay retail? With all of the coupon options on the web, you can find a way to save dollars on everything from groceries to furniture. You can even procure free shipping, if you know where to look. The Internet has a slew of websites that offer printable coupons, sale information, and coupon codes.

Step 1: Do Some Research
- Whether you know what you are looking for, or just want to find out what deals are out there, a Google search is a great way to start. If you have a specific store or product in mind, enter the name directly into your search field. You may find coupons directly from a retail business or manufacturer.
- If you just want to do some basic investigating into what kind of deals you can get, try a more general search. Type coupons, retail savings, discounts, deals, or similar key words into your search field. You may find a whole lot of websites to sift through, but you should spot some significant bargains.

Step 2: Decide What Type of Coupons
There are several types of coupons people search for online, so when you begin your research you may want to type in the specific type of coupon you are seeking. These are:
- Printable Coupons: Printable coupons are exactly that; coupons you can print directly from your computer and take with you to the store or restaurant. These are usually very simple to print, and can often be done directly from the page. If you need to download the coupon before printing, you will likely need a free version of a program such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, which most coupon websites will redirect you to.
- Coupon Codes: These are coupons you may use directly online during checkout. Coupon codes are used at the online version of most retail stores, and often save you a specific dollar or percentage amount. Some coupon codes are for free shipping.
- Special offers and information: Some places do not have printable coupons or coupon codes, but will provide you with information on where to pick up coupons or discount tickets. These may include, but are not limited to, amusement parks, fairs, etc.

Step 3: Use Caution
- Anytime you download from the Internet, you run the risk of exposing your computer to spyware or viruses. While you cannot ever be completely sure you are safe, it is important to exercise caution while you are on the web.
- If a coupon (or any other) site looks unprofessional, or even just a little bit shady, don't download anything from it. No matter how great a deal looks, it won't be worth it if it ends up interfering with the performance of your computer. Don't get too paranoid, but just keep in mind that problems do sometimes arise from using questionable sources.
-
Conclusion
- The web is a veritable savings buffet for the frugal. If you devote some time to fishing for coupons, you will most likely be rewarded. If you have little time to waste, just head to one of the sites known for providing savings on retail items. Remember, though, that you always run the risk of getting more than just a coupon when you download from questionable websites.
