If You Don't Have a Discount Code, Look For One

Filed under: General, Personal Finance

Almost any time you buy something online, there is a place on the online form for you to insert a discount or promotion code. These codes are often included on coupons, special mailings or sometimes on the site you're visiting. If you don't happen to have such a code, look for one. It only takes a few minutes.

Open another window in your browser and type "discount code" into your favorite search engine, along with the name of the company from which you are making the purchase. Several Web sites collect that kind of information:

CouponWinner.com
CouponCabin.com
CurrentCodes.com
1stopmarketplace.com

These are just a few examples. Most times, you will find a code that entitles you to $5 or 5% or 10% off the regular price. All those discounts eventually add up.
