Coupons/Deals

CurrentCodes.com

From W.P. Article:

1. RetailMeNot: This coupon site aggregates discount codes and lets users chime in on whether or not a deal worked, sorting out bad tips fairly quickly.

2. SmartSource.com: Calling itself the #1 Website for printable grocery coupons, SmartSource.com lists grocery coupons from your area, lets you select those most relevant to you, and compiles them for printing. Printing does require a Java applet, which may mean a download for some.

3. 8Coupons: Despite a somewhat daunting homepage, those who venture beyond 8Coupons list of links will find a great mapping tool that shows you where the best deals are in your area.

4. WeUseCoupons.com: A community forum-style site for coupon enthusiasts, WeUseCoupons.com posts tips and tricks for coupon use, as well as user-submitted deals. Two of the site's members, Nathan Engels and Amanda Ostrowski were featured on TLC's premiere.

5. GeorgineSaves: Run by Georgine Kaczmarek, a coupon guru advised Consumer Reports on coupon-clipping habits, this site keeps consumers updated on good deals and offers tips saving in other ways, such as reusing old items in new ways. Kaczmarek is also a saving consultant, trainer and speaker for very serious savers.
