Yes, savings from coupons are definitely worth the trouble of collecting them. Many, many

discount coupons can be found in local and major newspapers. There are also several discount

coupons in popular magazines. And the internet is full of discount coupons that can be printed out and taken to the store that offers the discount. Some coupons offer a product for free as an introductory offer. The idea is to attract customers to the product. Grocery coupons can be found in newspapers and magazines. These coupons can save anywhere from one penny to buy one get one free (bogo), or even free as an introductory offer.

A lot of money can be saved by joining a grocery store club at stores like Ralph's, Vons, or Albertsons. Some products have discounts for the next purchase of the item. Even more

Discount coupons can be found at ralphs.com, vons.com, and shop.albertsons.com. Some websites on the internet have discounts for their users. 1% to 10% or more of purchases made at grocery stores and restaurants and more can be saved for college at upromise.com.

There are many websites on the internet that have money saving coupons. One is coolsavings.com. This website offers free grocery coupons, free samples, free travel coupons, etc. Ebates.com offers free coupons online for major stores like JC Penny, Staples, Dell Computers, Target, etc. At valpak.com, there are free coupons for groceries, restaurants, auto care, etc. Eversave.com is another website that has free coupons. At savings.com, the discount coupons are chosen by the members. Free coupons can be obtained for just signing up at all the aforementioned websites. Sometimes a product will have a coupon attached to it for a discount on the next purchase. Other times the product will have a coupon for immediate use, but it must be peeled off and handed to the cashier before the product is purchased.

There are several websites that offer a product free as introductory offers. Anything from notebook computers to $50 gift certificates and more can be obtained. One drawback is the introductory offers usually cost anywhere from $20 to $100 or more. There are many good

deals around, however, if one can afford them.

There are some credit cards that give cash back for purchases. Hotels and motels have discounts for members of certain groups like AARP, AAA, etc. There are also travel clubs that have discounts as well as services. Some of them will pay 5% of what the vacation package costs back by check after the vacation. Hotel and motel reservations, meals at restaurants, etc. also qualify for the five percent checks. Some companies mail discount coupons for popular attractions and favorite restaurants.
