A tutorial on how to use coupon codes and find deals to help one save money on a purchase they were to make anyway.
Why bother with the hassle of clipping coupons when you can now save at thousands of online retailers simply by clicking? More and more people are beginning to discover the savings available from all their favorite Internet stores like Amazon.com, Half.com, Buy.com, and hundreds more. That adds up to thousands of great deals!
If you've never used an online coupon before, or for that matter, never heard of them, online coupons usually come in the format of a coupon code. For instance, on my free coupon site, CouponCraze.com, when you find a deal that says "Code - XXXX," you need to enter that code at some point during checkout at the online retailer. Some stores have you enter the code at different points during checkout, so you have to keep your eyes peeled for the right moment to enter it.
When you click on a code coupon, you will be taken to the home page of the retailer's site where a small browser window will open in the upper-left corner of the screen. This window will show the code, so you either keep the window open while you shop, or write down the code so you can enter it at the appropriate moment.
Not all coupons come in the form of a code. Often, retailers code special links to hidden pages on their website, something Amazon.com is known to do. On free coupon sites, you simply click on the coupon you are interested in and start shopping. If the coupon links you to a special page, you simply do what it tells you to do. Most times you won't have to do anything, as the discount will automatically be applied.
Always check the end total of your purchase to ensure that the coupon has been applied. Some deals expire very quickly at the merchant's discretion, so pay attention to the posted expiration dates. CouponCraze.com updates deal expirations frequently, but in the event that shoppers find an expired deal or coupon, they have the ability to report it.
