I was just wondering if any of you use an online site for online coupons or promo codes when you shop online. Googling around there are a lot of them but a lot of them have outdated codes, or they simply don’t work. If anyone uses such sites and has sites that work and they’d reccommend, I’d like to hear from you Thanks ---

I use [ebates.com](http://ebates.com) all the time and have gotten over $200 back from them. I also always use coupon code sites and depending on the code usually do not have any problems. I google the store I’m looking for with coupon code behind it example “hot topic coupon codes” I may have to try one or two of the sites before I find one worth using ---

I use this [one a lot.](http://www.surveynotify.com/coupons.php) [Techbargains.com](http://Techbargains.com) is another good one (the list on the side also has coupon codes). ---

[Retailmenot.com](http://Retailmenot.com) is a good one since it uses a voting system to help filter out expired and bad codes. ---

Slight hijack - how about printable coupons? For groceries, household supplies, that sort of thing. Is there anything reliable out there? ---

…think I saved the shipping costs- 5%-10%, total damages about fifty bucks I recall… Cop’s dog two doors down must have fleas, or needs Benadryll 🙂 horrible barking just found the coupon code on a google search for meds… and it worked. ---

Thanks I’ll check these out. And feel free to add Antigen suggestion of printable coupons to any you know. I’ve run across a few “printable” coupons but they make you download special software to print it, so I don’t bother
