I love the little thrill of clipping out the coupon for an item I would have purchased even without the coupon. But it can actually be even a little more exciting to find printable coupons online that you wouldn't have had otherwise. We found another site to add to you money-saving bookmarks: smartsource.com & then enter your zipcode. Another tips is look up your favorite local stores on Facebook or Twitter or ask them if they have a site that offers coupons.

Wanting to have a nice dinner for a special occasion but just can't justify the expense? Lisa has used a great service called Restaurant.com . You go in & browse the restaurants listed in your area & then you buy a "gift certificate" online that you present at the restaurant. Only the certificate isn't full price! You can buy a $25 gift certificate for just $10. Be sure to read if any restrictions apply (some expire a certain number of days after your print out your coupon, etc.) They also send constant discounts on the certificates. They send out coupons frequently so you can get $25 Gift Certificates for only $5. It sounds too good to be true, but Lisa (RM Founder) has used it at about 5 different restaurants.

How much do you typically spend on printer ink? I read online that if you calculate the price of printer ink it comes out as possibly one of the most expensive everyday consumer fluids there is at about $8000 per gallon! Walgreen’s pharmacy will now refill your printer cartridges with high quality in just a few minutes for $12.99 for either black or color ink at the photo counter. Watch their ads for coupons that can bring the price down to $5 or even "free days." For more information, including if your name-br& is one of them they fill, see Walgreen's web site .
