Websites offer grocery coupons online
If your weekly grocery tab is flying off the chart, maybe it’s time to start redeeming coupons again.
You can find a healthy assortment in the newspaper but there are several sources online as well.
There are free sites, such as Coolsavings.com and Smartsource.com, but the selection of printable coupons isn’t as varied as other sites, such as centsoff.com, that require a membership fee.
A test of other sites by the Wall Street Journal also found membership sites, such as Grocerycoupons.com and Onlinecoupons.com that ask for a fee upfront, have no better selection than the free sites or the newspaper. The Journal warns to be careful of sites that offer to mail you the coupons.
It’s probably worth checking these sites. The Consumer Reports National Research Center says people using store coupons and loyalty cards save $678 a year, or about 10 percent, off their grocery bill.
