Online Grocery Coupons

Saving money on groceries is great. Buying the Sunday paper, going through the ads page by page, cutting out the coupons and sorting them out while trying not to get too many paper cuts…not so great. That’s why I love online grocery coupons. It’s so easy to just click and print the coupons! That’s why I have compiled a list of great free online coupon resources. Check them out below:

Fun Fact: According to consulting group CMS, consumers saved $3 billion on groceries last year…just by redeeming coupons!

1) Coupons.com

Coupons.com allows visitors to browse coupons by category, as well as sign up for a weekly SuperSaver newsletter that alerts you of the newest and most popular coupons available. This site is updated on a daily basis, so you always have access to new and current coupons.

2) RedPlum.com

You can either browse coupons by category, or enter your zip code for offers tailored to your location. You can print the coupons right away, or save them for later. You can even share your coupon finds with a friend! This site also features a section called Sweetfinds, which features “picks of the day” and other offers that can’t be passed up!

3) SmartSource.com

Much like RedPlum.com, you can either browse coupons by category, or enter your zip code for offers tailored to your location. After you enter your zip code, you can browse local deals by category or by specific stores. You can also search for deals on a specific product.

4) Shortcuts.com

This site is unique because it offers printable coupons, as well as a new breed of electronic coupons. After choosing your coupons, your online account syncs with your grocery store loyalty card and automatically redeems the coupons when swiped at checkout. Cool, huh? Unfortunately, there are few stores currently participating in this technology, but that will be sure to change over time. Participating stores currently include: City Market, Baker’s, Dillon’s, Fry’s, Gerbes, Hilander, JayC, King Soopers, Kroger, Owen’s, Pay Less, QFC, Ralph’s, and Smith’s.

* It’s also worthy to note that individual retailers may have a section on their website devoted to printable coupons for the products they carry. Shaw’s has a site especially for this, and is worth checking out before heading to the store.

Quiznos free sub giveaway

Starting today, Quiznos announced that it will give away one million subs as part of its effort to offer better prices for a better world. Quiznos plans to give away one million free subs through its new, customized Web site, MillionSubs.com. Unlike some free food promotions that restrict people to certain times and places, Quiznos’ goal is to make it as simple as possible to receive a free sub. First, you go to the Million Subs website and enter your email address. Within 24 hours, they will email you a coupon for a free sub. After you print the coupon, it is good for 5 days and you can also enter the email addresses of 2 friends so that they can receive a free sub coupon as well. Hurry and sign up, because the promotion ends once a million sub coupons have been claimed!

In addition, each day this March, Quiznos will award free subs for a year to one person as part of its “Making the World Better” campaign. You can nominate a personal hero by submitting a brief description of your hero’s contributions to making the world better. Quiznos plans to share stories received on the website and will reward outstanding nominees with free subs for a year to help inspire further great deeds.
