Couponing for the Rest of Us

Coupons.com: How to search under different zip codes.

 

Recently, Coupons.com made some changes to their site.  Unfortunately, it seems a little slower to load and thus far seems less user friendly.  Just in case you missed our previous post, a hot tip on how to click through pages of coupons faster you can read it here.

Often times we find new printables listed under specific zip codes.  Since coupons.com changed their site, we’ve gotten several emails asking how to search for a specific zip code.  I’ve included a couple of screenshots below to show you how.

 

1.  This is what you’ll see at the top of your screen.

Do You Say CUE-pons or COO-pons?

 

 

In a recent survey, coupons.com announced that 57% of those who responded to the nationwide poll say CUE-pon.  Wooo – Hoooo that’s how we say it around here.  Not that there is anything wrong with saying Coo-pon, it just sounds a little weird to this southern girl.  (I know, I know – I sound weird to you, it’s okay.)  (3,500 people responded to the survey)

The largest supplier of internet printable coupons is coupons.com. The CEO of coupons.com, Steven Boal, was a bit surprised that CUE-pon is the most popular pronunciation, he founded the company 13 years ago and has always said COO-pons.

I haven’t seen a coupon for $1 off storage bags (or baggies as we call them) in a loooong time.  Maybe I’ve been too busy to notice, if so just ignore my ramblings.   At one time I had every size and shape imagineable –  sandwich, quart, quart for the freezer, Gallon, Gallon for the freezer, Gigantic, and everything in between.  However, it’s been slim “pickins” around here for a while, I must have missed  the last couple of sales cycles.  I’ve been buying them at the Dollar Tree.  Have ya’ll gotten any good deals on storage bags recently?

Let’s go find a great sale to use this coupon on!

The above coupon is a pdf which means that each coupon has the same bar code.  When you click to print the coupon you will be prompted to enter how many copies you’d like to print.  Many times this type of coupon is fraudulent since there are usually print limits on internet printable coupons.  However, in this case I checked the source of the coupon and it is legit as it is on the home page of The Simply Sensible Biggest Loser Website.
.

Just a heads up check your print preview before printing – the coupon is HUGE you may want to shrink it so that it doesn’t waste your ink.
