Coupon Database Turtorial

Wow, I am excited about this one. My favorite coupon blogger, Moneysavingmom.com, just introduced a coupon database on her website yesterday. If you look at the top of my blog where I remind you to check out online coupon sources, you will see a new link to this database.

It is exactly what it sounds like -- a place where EVERY coupon out there is kept track of and then tells you when/where/how to get it.

The "default" view shows the 10 coupons most recently added onto the database. But there is also a search box where you can type in any product you want and it will tell you if there are any coupons available.

Now since this includes all coupons, you will not be able to print a lot of them as they were published in a newspaper insert, magazine or a retailer. But at least you will know exactly where the coupon surfaced if you want to try and track it down. The printable ones will usually have a blue highlight and you can click straight to the link from the database to print it.

Smartsource and Red Plum are both coupon inserts found in Sunday papers.

Once a coupon expires or is no longer available to print, it will be taken off the database to avoid confusion and frustration. That's the plan anyway, and I imagine these ladies will do a great job with it. They are adding new coupons daily right now as this is so new.

Feel free to ask if you have any Q's or have trouble using the database because when a new, good coupon surfaces I will likely direct you there instead of always posting the link, it will depend how much time I have.
