I love saving money online, and honestly, I can’t remember the last time that I set out and purchased something for full price. The Internet is a great place to find everything from sales items, to coupons, and I wanted to share with you the six steps that I use to find great coupons online.

#1 Start with Social Media: You will be surprised at how many companies have coupons, as well as offers right on their Facebook, as well as Twitter page. What you will want to do is go to these pages, and see what kind of deal that you can get. 99% of the time, you will have to “like” the page to get the deal.

#2 Search online: A great way to find fresh coupon codes, as well as printable codes is to simply search for them. Instead of doing a search on Google, you will want to search via the “most recent” results. When you search in the most recent results, you will find coupons that were just posted.

#3 Buy your coupons: Buy the coupons, you’re asking? Yes, I know it sounds silly, but you will find that you can get some great coupons on places like eBay. The cool thing about this is that you can get coupons for pennies that will save you a lot more than that.

#4 Sign up for newsletters: Just like Facebook, you can join the newsletters for most brands, and restaurants. You will find that a lot of them will give you a coupon, as well as freebie just for signing up. Not only that, you’re going to get coupons for the future as well.

#5 Participate in forums: Savings forums such as SlickDeals, and Fatwallet are a great place to scour on a daily basis. Not only can you find some great offers, and deals, you can also find some great coupons. You can also search for coupons here as well that you may not find elsewhere.

#6 Get the Sunday paper: I highly recommend that everyone subscribes to the Sunday paper. You’re going to find that the publications there have great coupons for not only your groceries, but restaurants and more. You don’t need to subscribe, but you can pick up in your local grocery store, and more.

These six steps should easily allow you to find some great coupons. Follow some of the tips above, and you should be able to save a decent amount of money on your next purchase.
