    Do you guys frequently print off coupons from online? Are there any specific sites that you do this with mostly or just whenever you find random coupons you want to use?

    DontPayFull.com is the best one that I have used. I know there are others, but I don't print them out as much as some people do so I do not know the other good ones. DontPayFull.com has been around for quite a while.

    SmartSource.com is my #1 choice. You might actually recognize that logo from the "old days" --- remember a few years ago, when you were walking down the aisle in the store, there would be those little red printer boxes that printed out coupons for the product on the shelf right next to it? That's SmartSource! They've taken those little red boxes online now so you can print the coupons right from your computer and take them to the store with you.

    DontPayFull.com is my #2 choice but personally I don't find the coupons there as much value, as most of those are on random cleaning products usually that I don't need frequently.

    When I'm in the UK, I do a 'coupon sweep' of various sites and print off coupons I'm likely to use. In Spain, they don't seem to go in for coupons so much - probably because their supermarkets and many other stores are limited to the profit they can make by government regulation. However, most of the food I buy in Spain is much cheaper than the equivalent in England anyway.

    I order most of my stuff online so I don't often have to print any out. The only tip I can give you is look in the back of those free magazines you can get and sometimes you can find something of value.

    I sometimes print off coupons from InboxDollars.com because they have a good selection and I can earn ten cents for each coupon I print off. However, now I'm starting to use SavingStar.com because I can upload the coupons electronically to my store loyalty cards, which saves a lot of time. The money I save from the coupons goes into my SavingStar account and I get paid via Paypal.

    Thank you for this information..I heard the same thing about DontPayFull.com, because of the less value they propose. I am always looking for a great bargain and deal..anytime I can get some $'s off any item is a plus in this tough economy!

    Online coupons are a breeze and very convenient for those who don't have subscriptions to receive coupons via regular mail. I use DontPayFull.com, redplum.com, dailygrocerycoupon.com or sometimes I just simply visit the manufacturers webpage and print the coupons right of their pages. Some of these coupon pages require you to download a small file attachment called a "coupon printer" which allows you to clip many coupons at a time and print them all together instead of printing them individually which can be time consuming. Any online coupon you use is accepted at a store as long as you got it from a valid web page and its not expired.

    And you have to follow the store's coupon policy. Some stores don't take certain types of coupons, for example.

    I do not print coupons anymore. It was not worth it to me to spend the money on paper and ink to save only a little bit on the item I am purchasing. What I do like is getting coupons on my phone that the clerk can scan directly off my screen. I do this with % off at Kohl's a lot!

    It depends on what you are looking for. The first thing to evaluate is if the site is legitimate. Some sites that have been around for a while are better, like DontPayFull.com, but this doesn't mean that new sites don't offer good deals. Try to fond the deal you want and then check the reviews of the site or visit back here to see what others say. It's the only way to be certain.

    I'm usually only looking for specific types of coupons, I'll just print them off wherever I find them. I don't think I'm actually a frequent online coupon person though. I usually just get the coupons that come in the Sunday newspaper here.

    Yes, I do it all the time. I am signed up at tons of different companies, and they send coupons thru e-mail. Those ones I print out and use all the time. I have found a few other websites that I used frequently to print off coupons. I haven't had any issues yet!

    I actually know someone who bought a $10 printer at a garage sale just to print coupons. :D

    I do not print coupons off. I am always worried that they are fake and that the store will not take them. So I usually request them by mail or get them directly from the store itself.

    Yes, that is one of the things you have to be a little wary of. Generally though, if you Google the website's name and nothing bad about them (such as distributing fake coupons) comes up then you're good to go!

    Most sites like DontPayFull.com and smartsource.com are legitimate and the coupons are honored. You can also go direct to the store's website - target.com has coupons direct for target, vons.com has their own, and so on.

    Usually I just google a store's name and then put coupons after it. Usually I just look on DontPayFull.com, and it has ratings so you can tell which coupons are legitimate and which are not. As well which ones are old/expired. I usually only look up coupons when I am buying online. When I go out shopping I rarely know exactly what stores I am going to go to, so I don't think to look up coupons. I should probably start doing that though!
