I like to use coupons and have had readers write in to ask the best way to use coupons to save the most money so I thought I’d share this guest post with you since it goes into detail about the art of using coupon codes – Enjoy!
If you are on this site, you probably are already sold on the idea of saving money. And why shouldn’t you be? It doesn’t matter if you have a bank account with six zeros after the number or one that simply totals zero. There is just no reason to ever spend a penny more on anything than need be. It’s your money, keep it in your pocket. Most consumers are familiar with traditional paper coupons. Coupon codes are a little newer. So why should you use coupon codes and how?
What is a Coupon Code
Chances are when you shop online and get to the checkout page, you will see a box that says Do You Have a Promotional Code (sometimes it will ask for a coupon code or a discount code – they are all the same thing)? Don’t just skip the box…ever! If you enter a valid code from the retailer you will save money.
What Can You Save
There are different types of coupon codes. Some will save you dollars off – just like traditional coupons. So you might save anywhere from $1.00 to $100.00 off of an order. Read the code carefully. You may be required to spend a certain amount to save. Do the math before you decide you aren’t spending enough to use the code. For example, one time I was buying my nephew sneakers. They $90. I had to spend $100 to get $25 off. I added a pair of matching socks for $15.00 to my order. My total was now $105, but it qualified me for the coupon. Once the coupon came off, my total was $80. So, I was spending less than just the cost of the sneakers and getting “free” socks as well. Some coupons are for a percentage off. Again, sometimes these come with spending restrictions, but take the time to do the math. Are they offering 10% off of $25 or more, but 20% off of $50 or more? You plan on spending $45. That would come out to $40.50. Add $5 to your order and you will be spending only $40.00 after the discount. Sometimes codes offer free shipping if you spend a certain amount or even on all orders. Some sites will let you enter multiple discount codes and other sites will only allow one per order.
