Becoming A Coupon Superstar Day 6: All About Internet Printables

Internet printables can sometimes be the best coupons. They are usually for a higher dollar value then paper ones or for items we do not usually get in the Sunday paper. There are several online sources for printables. Some of them are:

• Smart Source
• Red Plum
• Coupons.com
• Betty CrockerPillsbury
• Very Best Baking (Nestle)
• Family Cents (General Mills)
• Eat Better America Coupons
• Box Tops for Education
• List of “Bricks” printables available on different manufacturer’s website
• Another place to look is on product websites.

Most of the Internet printables can be printed twice by hitting the back button. However every now and again the print limit will be higher, so hit the back button again just to be sure.

On sites like coupons.com once you select the coupon and it prints just go back and select it again to get one more. The next time you go back, it will show “print limit reached”.

Also sometimes, you will read about a great coupon available but when you get to coupons.com it’s not there. What happened? Well the manufacturer has set a print limit once it’s reached the coupon is taken down. This is why I will tell you to hurry and print before it’s gone. Other times it’s not there because it is not available for your zip code.

Using Your Internet Printables-
This is where the fun begins. If you choose to print yours in black & white, be prepared to hear the words “we don’t take copies of coupons”. Just simply point out that they are different by showing them the number under that funny looking barcode or the pin number, as they are unique. Not all printables will have this so here are a few things you can do in those cases.

1. Print it in color.
2. Print it on a nice paper or cardstock.
3. Simply be prepared that you may have your coupon rejected. Be polite, take your coupon back and have them take the item off your transaction.
